What did you do to your TRX today?

Anyone here in Connecticut get a Ravelco installed today? He is at my house now. Just wondering how he did?
 
Today I finally changed the oil. Okay, 832 miles is a few hundred more than I'd hoped for, but at least the dirty break-in oil is now out of there.

Used an MO-041 filter and installed magnetic drain plugs. It was a pleasant surprise to find out how light the skid plate is after all the horror stories seen here on the forum.

It started raining, so the diffs didn't get fresh fluid. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
 
Been deciding on which catch can I wanted to go with. Billet technology or JLT. Sorry for those of you that went with JLT. I think the whole setup looks cheap and flimsy and too much hose. I decided on billet technology. Yes, I need my step ladder to empty it, but it looks way cooler. And very sturdy.

I’m waiting for American bros design. I emailed them and they are working on one for the trx. Plus they are licensed thru mopar. You can get it in any factory color. This what I have in my trackhawk.

You can get billet technology in any color, it just takes longer to get. I do like the SRT on the top. Looks good.

They’ll probably incorporate a trex emblem on it instead of the hellcat. I hope. I don’t have mine yet, actually ordering next week.
 
Changed the fluid in the diffs. Should've done it when the front skid plate was off anyway for the engine oil change, but only one of its bolts needed to be removed to get the second skid plate off.

Anyway, for those who haven't got to it yet, the front diff takes a Votex DP009 magnetic plug. Same as the engine oil cooler, if memory serves me. (The engine itself takes a DP001).

The rear cover has a reusable gasket, which was a nice surprise after wasting 30 minutes looking around for a Dana 60 gasket, which is hiding somewhere in the garage.
Also, no need for a magnetic plug for that one, as the OE one is every bit as strong as regular aftermarket ones.

But, it wouldn't hurt to get an OE magnetic plug for the rear axle and put it in the transfer case's level hole. It's the same pipe thread.
 
2 weeks out from telluride and Moab trip.
Got the tent on today. Hope my stuff from foutz comes in to get the rear end up a little….

Looks good! Should be fine as long as you unscrew it slowly and don't let it get too full otherwise you will slosh the can and spill it all down the front of your engine/belts. JLT for me was ease of install and easy access location for emptying the can and if I spill any it is easy clean up!
 
Hellcat07, where did you get your rear window decal?
 
looks good, was the install hard?
Not sure if lucky or skilled but I got it first try. It comes with alignment stickers but I didn’t use them. Peeled the backing and worked from left to right rather than bottom up. Seemed to make more sense to me to get the longer end lined up first.
 
Couldn't do much to my TRX since it is still scheduled to be build, but, got the first mod in today
