That looks so clean.Got my hydro blue 23 a few weeks ago and went ahead and changed up the look. Wanted to be different.

That's cool but I would have used Rotopax mounts to secure the boards to the panels. You could have mounted it the way you did without the Molle panels by just adding a couple of inserts to the same area. It's cool either way and really the only good place to mount them. I actually have a cross bar installed right there so my tool boxes stick out enough to open them without flipping my bed cover all the way up. The boards would serve the same purpose for me and have the added benefit of traction bars...lol...
How do you like them… mine go on next week.Just hung out by the ocean after putting a couple hundred miles on the new eibach lift springs.

I dig them. Seems to be a half inch or so high in the front, but I haven't measured it. I also have a Retrax cover, molle panels w/ hand tools and a chainsaw in the bed so that bit of static weight might effect the level. Either way not enough to bug me.How do you like them… mine go on next week.
Which tire width did you go with 12.5 or 13.5?I dig them. Seems to be a half inch or so high in the front, but I haven't measured it.

Ride quality is nice. Close enough to stock that I can't tell if it's the springs or the larger tires that feels a little different. Needs more front rebound dampening, but it needed that when it was stock as well so can't complain too much.
Initial power down isn't very good, but I'm not 100% if that's the tires or the increased ride height. If you roll onto the power slow enough to get some weight transfer and squat in the rear, then apply more power it's good -- just need to be careful mashing the gas pedal before there's any weight transfer.
One of the most notable changes is the braking with the larger/taller tires. Definitely takes more pedal pressure to stop -- not dangerously so, but more.
Springs look good! My tires are 37x12.5Which tire width did you go with 12.5 or 13.5?
My springs just got back from the powder shop so going on next week with 37x12.5s on OEM beadlocks.

Congrats, truck looks great and believe me that smile doesn't go away.View attachment 95647
Picked up the beast today from the amazing folks at Granger! Drove 492 miles home and is safely parked in the garage parked in by my 2004 1500 lol! What an amazing truck! Still can't stop smiling!
Thanks!!Congrats, truck looks great and believe me that smile doesn't go away.
Looks like you still need a seat protector under that car seat. I'd strongly recommend one if you don't want your seat ruined, not just from the car seat rubbing but dropped snacks and spilled drinks.My 1 year old is getting bigger!
Today replaced old baby car seat and installed a Nuna Executive car seat in the TRX. (and the Nuna Rev into GF's and baby momma's Lexus RX). Man, wrenching on my motorcyles is easier lol. Executive will last until she is in school and is pretty sweet lol. Two cup holders, reclines in different position, etc. $1,450 total for two car seats is absurd, but of course I want my girl to be comfortable and wanted a top of the line car seat for a top of the line truck and my precious daughter.
Will put back on my carhart back seat covers (had to wash them) to protect the leather and seats.
