First Mod?

[WILDDUX]

Tires...Goodyear garbage tires will be coming off on the way home from the dealership.

If you check out the hellcat forums you'll see proven combinations that have increase HP with them. SRT designed this truck as well and when people get there hands on these trucks we'll probably see similar HP gains from essentially the same engine.

And besides, with ANC enabled, I need everything to be higher any way

This is my first Dodge So please excuse my ignorance but that’s a cool feature.

And you probably noticed that I didn’t say that the pulleys were a bad mod. ?

What would you replace them with? I’ve tried most popular brands.

There are proven solutions to the pulley upgrade, people have been doing this on the Hellcats for a number of years now.
As to tires, I'm looking at the below, they are rates for a 112 mph and not 118 but I think that should suffice

Trail Grappler | Mud Terrain Light Truck Tire | Nitto Tire

Blend the off-road performance of a mud terrain tire with the quietness of an all-terrain and you get the Trail Grappler M/T. Enjoy the best of both worlds.

The tires are OE specific to the TRX. Seems like an expensive & time consuming R&D & manufacturing undertaking not to develop Performance advantages compared to readily available options. In an engineering presentation the TRX‘s Chief Engineer Jeff Roselli said they “terrorized Goodyear” to get what they wanted.....

I’m about functional mods but for me to make changes there has to be clear evidence first there’s an improvement.

No you take delivery of the truck first. Most of the time it is worth it..until the noise gets tiresome..the extra stress will eventually cause you to spend more in an attempt to justify the looks...

We can talk about 37s later hahaha

Ahhhhh! Thanks! ??

Not that speed rating makes any difference but . Those tires are Q speed rated at 99mph.. where are you getting 112?

I’ve had those Nitto’s on my SC’d Tundra. They are good in dry conditions. But I had to take them off for winter. Not up to par in snow and ice. But the GY Duratrac‘s Are good in wet and winter condition. The rest are all mediocre. I’m hoping these TRX GY’s have a bit more traction in winter and the siping looks favorable.

You are correct, I was looking at the Terra Grappler G2 that are available in S and R rating and posted the link for the trail grappler

Terra Grappler G3 | All-Terrain Light Truck Tire | Nitto Tire

Our latest and most advanced Grappler, with all-terrain versatility plus 3PMS-rated all-weather capability.

I would not do any engine mods whatsoever. I drive a Supercharged Tundra which is a hair over 500hp and have yet to need more than that. But I ordered a TRX so I guess I can be influenced by power. But Hennessey has other accessories that I may be interested in like bumpers, etc.
My only issue with the TRX at this point (before I’ve even laid eyes on one nonetheless) is the suspension. I am running KING 2.5 off-road suspension on that Tundra and it is tits. But the adjustability of this Bilstein setup is what has peeked my interest so much. I just wish it looked better. It looks mildly anemic compared to the FOX and KING stuff out there. I really hope the performance is all that they claim it is. ?

Can you imagine if this beast came with a KING suspension with all these modes? That would have absolutely destroyed the Raptor. I’ll continue to be optimistic as I have yet to even ride in one either.

Cooper STT Pros or Toyo MTs.

My first mod will probably be some fingerprints on various parts of the truck and an assprint in the driver seat...after that I will probably change the radio station, adjust the driver seat to my liking, and open the sunroof cover fully.

I will keep it at 35s for now, I prefer MTs and do not like Goodyears.

I also have a short wife, but I went with them because I can imagine that I will be stepping into and out of my truck far more often than I will be out rock crawling. I like the idea of rock sliders, but I understand the reality of how I will most likely be using my truck...

 

[HighwayRanger]

What will your first mod on the TRX be?

I plan on doing a lot of desert off-roading so first Mod will be Ceramic Window Tint

I also plan to stay with 35s if possible I just want to go wider : )
