What did you do to your TRX today?

[ParadigmDawg]

Added the Powertank with the horizontal snorkel for fast tire fill up’s in the field!

Those are great but won't work for me. I have to air down a few times a day where I wheel and no place to have them filled. I have to use the old fashioned and slow way of airing up with my ARB Twin. I always thought it was so slow until I timed it one day but turns out it takes 1m 43 sec minutes to go from 18psi to 32psi on 37s. It sure seems like longer if you are out in the sun.

Gentlemen, Time is money and with the group I run it I do not want to be the last truck ready to venture on. Your stated times are far quicker than others I have talked to as well as ARB. I offer the following for a comparison of the speed and capacity of the Powertank. Thanks
This first Tire Air Up chart tells you how fast a Power Tank will air up YOUR tires and how many of them it will inflate based on the various Power Tank sizes. You'll notice that, unlike compressors, all Power Tanks regardless of their size, inflate at the same rate of speed.

First, locate your tire size in the left column. Then determine how much air you are adding from trail pressure to street pressure and find your section along the top row. Each section (10, 15, 20 psi) shows your air up time and how many tires you can fill based on your Power Tank size. Note that these numbers are fairly linear so if you need to calculate tires adding 30 psi, halve the amount shown in the 15 psi section.

Parked it in Michigan to fly out to California to take delivery on a new Heli. No Rex for a few days.
Edit: Finally got to the factory, here’s why Rex is parked.

As my MCAS Camp Pendleton rotary friends would say: helicopter pilots, there are those who have crashed, and there are those who are going to crash.

stay safe brother, the more you spend the safer they are

Yes time might be money, but so is the price of a powertank, which seems excessive… that’s before you account for how big they are.

50 Seconds vs 100-110 Seconds for my arb dual which is conveniently mounted in my rear seat floor bin. Add in the fact that I don’t need to deal with refilling the tank or the cost associated with refilling it…

Think I’ll stick with my arb.

 

[Johnny@JustBoltOns]

I'm sure I'll get heat for this like I did on the Ram 1500 TRX group but I'm that one guy with a Ranch Hand on his TRX right now....lol

In my defense, I make a lot of overnight trips between FL and the northeast that I feel more safe about this trip with my soon to be wife and our two dogs with this brush guard. Just anycase animal or road hazard comes our way. Just last month I witnessed a toyota drive straight thru a sheet of plywood that fell off a pickup two lanes over.

Are you saying that mine should take longer? I have only aired up and down 40 something times this year.

Yours is special that’s why

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Ha, I feel like I should go back and check my times. At worst it was 2 min, 43 seconds but I think it was 1-43

Crap, I was wrong.

Haha I mean still isn’t bad! I just use my nitrogen tank when I need to! On the house. And takes more time making sure I get it just the exact pressure then filling up.

And you can fill up your paintball nitro tank for a quick round in the woods haha

Haha I have a nitro Hvac tank so it’s only like 3000 lbs tested

Seems like we’re chasing squirrels here vs “What have you done to your TRX today”. Perhaps a different thread for airing up your tires. Not trying to piss you guys off. Just sayin…

It's slow enough on here to limit what we talk about...

Here we go...looks like similar times per tire as what we are getting from the ARB twin.

Horn relocation over the weekend. Next is shock senosr

View attachment 104515

NICE!!!

Due to some space & lack of time issues I'm having a shop do this Friday (ORW in San Diego). Do you have any tips on how you did it? Things I should mention to them to watch out for (e.g., getting the radiator shroud off, how to remove the horn, where to route the wiring, how to mount it)? I know several people on here have been looking to do this mod.

Wasn't bad at all. Watched a vid on YouTube on removing the front grill. Then it was 1 bolt that held the horn braket. Cut the wire and spliced in a couple feet of 14 gauge to the air cleaner mount. Ran the wires in some hockey tape and followed a wire loom up to the fuse box and continued on the side of the pcm. Super easy

 

[IdahoKTM]

Has anyone looked into just making a shield for the horn wires and leaving the horn in place?
