haha thanks man!!
What did you do to your TRX today?

I have no idea which one to get. I prefer the look of the S&B, but I also want the more prominent supercharger whine
I can't see giving up a cold air intake that uses the hood scoop for a hot air intake that sits by the fender.

Go Cornerstone then. Uses the hood scoop and open filter fender concept. Get the whine and still uses the hood scoops. IAT are better then stock and she whines similar to bwwody.

Had a puncture at Windrock. Could have replaced one 37” but I couldn’t resist….

Yeah I'd expect to trim quite a bit more.
In a perfect world, you'd pull the shock and cycle everything. Then you'll really know where you may grab something. May need to cut a hole in your fender well too
This week I was just about to pull off my front bumper for additional lights/Brawlerfab bar but then..... FML.
Back to the dealership again(!) for another coolant related issue (past has included Lemon Law downtime eventually getting a radiator, then IC pump, etc). It's like our 22' TRX at literally ever stage of a modification says "not today, not f'ing today". In the past been down for injector (multiple) misfires, ECU updates (overlooked by the local incompetent dealer).
I have DD'd it for 42k rather 'aggressively' as noted on forum posts (3rd of of OEM tires now at 50%) but thankfully kept it stock because it loves 'warranty time' (have a 5yr/125k $100 deductible factory extended package).
Now I'm tempted/perhaps from an abundance of YT videos about Charger/Challenger overstock and massive discounts to say "time to trade the TRX and get a widebody for the garage".
But will Hellcat cooling related issues haunt me?
I'm 37 miles from my (Stellantis/RAM Cares) recommended dealership for service (and outstanding Service Advisor) it cheerily returns too.
Sorry - envious of those actually 'enjoying' the ownership experience, I keep losing trust.

She thicc
Im
38s BABAAYYY!!!
1 more. My fave so far
Sent it to the dealership again…
I’m with you @PhoenixTRX. 1st TRX (30,000 miles) was in the shop 4 times for coolant related issues - heater core, intercooler pump, leaking bricks, then ultimately a new supercharger.
Traded it in for a 22’ (14,000 miles) in October and have had it in the shop for a replacement heater core, then a radiator replacement. I had my oil changed in February and 1800 miles later I had an odd sound at startup and checked the oil level only to find barely any oil visible on the dipstick. Immediately took it to a local trusted mechanic who confirmed I wasn’t losing my mind and recommended I park it immediately and get a hold of the dealership. We’ll see what the verdict is, but I haven’t seen any signs of oil leakage so there is oil consumption happening somewhere internally.
This is by far the best vehicle I’ve owned and I want to hold onto it, but these continued trips to the dealer are making it difficult to stay in love with it.

Tell us how you figured out you were having these issues with heater core/IC pump/leaking bricks/etc? Was it making a sound or just not cooling your IC fluid?
The heater core, radiator, ic pump were all easily verified by coolant loss in the reservoirs. There was also the strong coolant smell inside the cabin (heater core) and in the engine bay (ic pump/leaking brick). I also had a slight engine knock during the leaking bricks/replacement supercharger saga. The radiator leak was the only time coolant was visible.
