What did you do to your TRX today?

I am DONE. Finally.
Lower Bumper Swapped to Black
M&R 40" Lightbar
Peragon Truck bed Cover
Tints/Rain Guards/Mud Flaps
Black Lugs to match rims
Ripa Incog Pulley
RIPP Coil Packs
S&B Intake
Pedal Commander
Power Stop Z36 Rotors and Pads
Hellwig Front and Rear Sway Bars
IGLA and T13 Compustar

I cannot think of anything else I would even want to do since it just feels good to finally have it all setup the way it should have came from the dealership! HA!

Just need that front plate delete mod!

You're in Chicago - I'd hope the cops have bigger fish to fry!
 
Just got back from a camping trip near the Grand Coulee dam area in Eastern Washington.

What did I do to the TRX?

I let the GF drive it (she only ran over one curb, so not so bad) and I rode the Harley :)

I took of my rear bumper. What a POS, freaking a lot of plastic and thin stamped brackets. I bet it weighed 27lbs.

I guess the good news is it only takes a few minutes to get it off.

Relay System for Power Actuated Light Bar complete!

IMG_1492.jpeg


Look at all the space to put stuff when you don’t have a tire under there.



Extends and retracts using a single Aux button, backlights automatically come on when it extends, brights turn on with a separate switch.

Here’s a quick and dirty wire diagram for how it was done. Ended up ditching the DPDT relay and using 3 SPDT relays instead… made for a cleaner install.

And the actuator automatically retracts the lights when the truck is turned off, which was kind of a happy accident.

No wonder why you didn't want to remove your shroud. Very nice.

You should have opted out of the sunroof so you could have a missile launcher pop up there.

That’s precisely why the sunroof is necessary
 
Oil changed, sample sent to TestOil. View attachment 98199
Also detailed the engine bay and took the lid off the S&B. I go back and forth with it but I think it’s just better this way.

How's the sound with the lid off!? I'm tempted to run it that way, but this dust bowl I call home makes me a tad apprehensive. Any big changes in temps?

It sounds awesome!


Lid really doesn’t make much difference on IATs. IAT1 (which the truck doesn’t display but I have on my Banks OBD2 gauge) is the actual temperature from the sensor in the intake tube. And with or without the lid it’s read damn near the same in the tests I’ve run.

It sure does!

I'm like the forum little brother you didn't know you had nor wanted 😅. From switching to Redline to grabbing a Pedal Monster - I might be your biggest fan OTR.

Appreciate the feedback! 🍻

Right on! Happy to have you join me in my obsession and madness!

I wonder if that would be true down here in the devil’s asshole lol. I mean have you ever seen 100 degrees other than in your oven lol?!

Thankfully no. Lid doesn’t make much difference between…say…40-75 degrees. At 100+ I would be more worried about my own breathing than the truck’s.
 
It's been a blast running the S&B topless the last couple of days. 🤘 Outside temps are close to 100 but the truck feels great. SRT Autoworks' intake of choice seems to be BWoody. They're an AZ-based shop, so I guess I'm not too concerned with an open lid S&B. 🤷‍♂️
