What did you do to your TRX today?

[Landonsrt]

Oil change day

 

[Snowbaruu]

Airbags are in. The GTHaus exhaust had to be modified in order to fit the bag on the passanger side. From my understanding, stock exhausts don't need any modification.

I have three questions:


1. I assume you added the airbags for higher loads?


2. Did it increase the truck’s height?


3. How is the ride quality—smoother or harsher?

3. How is the ride quality—smoother or harsher?

1. Affirm. I also have a 54 gallon tank so they also help with the driver side lean with a full tank.

2. With an empty payload I leave them at 5psi. So there might be some height but its negligable. If i crank it up I can definately add some height though.

3. Tough question to answer. Are we talking about stock? I have not been stock for a long time. I originally had the hellwig sway bar. Then I went to eibach springs with hellwig. Once i installed the bags the hellwig had to go. Currently the ride is very similar to when I just had the eibach and hellwig on the medium setting. Turns are good. I would say I feel the lean in prolonged turns a little more without the hellwig at 5psi. Its hard to tell though

With the mods I have I can definately confirm the ride is harder/firmer over stock though. Less 'squishy' over bumps.

Snowbaruu whose air bags are they? I had some a few years ago and felt they limited the travel and made the truck feel like I lost so,e travel over bumps. Do you have any of that feeling? I’d love to have air bags but with the ones I had I didn’t like the way it made the truck feel. But mine were one single bag where yours look like a few doughnuts. I was running the Timber Grove set up.

They are Boss air bags. They're an Aussie company. I had them shipped with my fuel tank. I'm not sure if they have a USA location. As far as travel I don't do crazy off roading. For pavement it's less squishy. Less bouncing after hitting a pot hole or speed bump, which i prefer. My ride is already firmer with the eibach springs though. I cant remember what stock suspension felt like. The bags and eibach springs with the added weight of my fuel tank feel very similar to eibach with hellwig and stock tank.

Just published Sneak Peek at Part 1 of our Lochloosa TRX Cyber RAM Run:

hit the speed limiter again

And the Suburu's

Drove 380 miles on one tank before refill. Had the low fuel on at 50. The last 10 miles were interesting. Filled up 31.4 gallons. Had 1.6 gallons to spare.

Also had fun doing 4 wheel drive drifting on snow covered mountain switchbacks.

 

[OGFL]

Installed the AJT design knobs. Very nice, thanks for posting them @OGFL

Just logged in today after a week to follow up on the freaking stupidly expensive but nice looking knobs, glad you liked them

 

[Cromin8tor]

D1 limbo for me, so this the best I can do right now…View attachment 11956

Got my truck back after letting one of my three daughters borrow it for almost a month, I was having PTSDTRX syndrome

Installed F & R ADD bumpers with new fogs/rear spots and 40" light bar that fit way better than I expected. I love the fit and build of the ADD. The six mounting bolts (four using speed clips ) worry me a little for front pulls as the stock recovery hooks are so much stronger but it will be fine for mild pulls. I still have to orient a couple of the sensors better as I am getting some premature warnings but that is my fault. I also chose a bumper that retained the step because I am at a point in my life where I think that is the greatest invention ever. LOL One thing that triggered some OCD in me on the rear bumper was the angled trailer plug mount. I wish the cutout was straight. Maybe it's just me.

Otherwise, it was labor intensive with the harnesses but I'm happy with how everything turned out. Cheers!

Got a new Dash .

omg the trailer plug. My OCD is telling me to hit I-95N to fix that

 

[Car-Guy]

Hitting the limiter a day keeps the Prius away

Just barely. Prius top Speed is between 112 and 114.

 

[Car-Guy]

And the Suburu's

Not really:

2023 Subaru WRX: The top speed is 155 miles per hour
2023 Subaru BRZ: The top speed is 140 miles per hour
2023 Subaru Ascent: The top speed is over 120 miles per hour.
2022 Subaru Forester: The top speed is projected to be 129 miles per hour.

Heck lots of shit boxes can out run our trucks, unless they have been fixed. (As examples)

2023 Corolla has an estimated top speed of 119 miles per hour
2023 Kia Sorento: has a top speed of 140 mph
2023 Hyundai Elantra: has a top speed of between 130 and 135 miles per hour
2023 Volkswagon Tiguan: has a top speed of 142 mph

And if you just want to compare trucks, even the 2024 Ford F-150 tops out at 133

And the list goes on and on...You may very well get to 118 a lot quicker than any of these but before long, they will be passing you.
