What did you do to your TRX today?

[Car-Guy]

Had to do a factory reset of my Sirius XM radio today. Some of the screens just quit working.

 

[FULLTHROTTLERICK]

Just got back from Hot Springs ORV Park which was amazing! Unfortunately, we blew our CV axle about 150 miles into the drive (must’ve been lingering from the SAVE Expo obstacle course). Luckily, we had our Seal Saver on board and were able to finish the remaining 800 miles on pavement (including the crazy tornados in Bama) + 3.5 days of wheeling & rock-crawling + 950 miles back home with the blown axle! Seal Savers are a God-send! If you guys dont have a Seal Saver on board, you guys are NUTS!!! This thing Saved our entire trip!! https://sealsavers.com/FULLTHROTTLE

Oh and @RealTruck we're currently giving your tent, rack, and crossbars a VERY thorough test (as shown above)

Yesterday I unsuccessfully attempted to install the built rite molle panels in the truck bed - for the second time. The mounts for the egr rolltrack tonneau sit below the bed rail and get in the way. Only reasonable solution I can come up with is to notch the top of the panels to account for the tonneau mounts.

Then I replaced the wiper blades so I could actually accomplish something.

This is the exact setup I have. Can confirm you need to notch them. Drilled the corners then cut into it with an angle grinder. Sealed with some rustoleum.

Bought the truck in August (black FML) but it was a decent deal. 21 lvl 2 loaded with 7k miles for $83k. Didn't notice the paint kinda sucked till I got it home. Several deep scratches that had been touched up with a paint pen possibly on the bed sides and tail gate. No huge deal I love the truck.

I've only washed it maybe three times because I hate putting it through the drive thru wash to make the paint even worse.

I drove it to Austin from Rio Rancho (1500 miles round trip) and it was filthy. I decided I finally need to buy a pressure washer and stuff to wash it at home.

Got a Ryobi 1900PSI pressure washer at the depot for $150 and about another $80 on mitt, foam cannon, soap, wheel cleaner and a garden hose (dogs chewed my last one for leaving it out).

Sure is a lot of work, she's a big girl lol. Feels good to do it by hand and actually get it nice and clean. I'll have it paint corrected and ceramic coated soon.

had a leaking 3rd brake light. Finally pulled the 3rd Brake light yesterday and this is what I found.

here is to hoping the new gasket from amazon works. Definitely looks much better

Same gasket I used on mine, works perfect, no leaks in about 2 years.

Right there with you. Definitely love washing all my vehicles by hand. I think it is very therapeutic and just love the garage time, music and great sunny days.

Thanks - you did a great job on yours! I am confident mine won't look as good when I am done.

You'll be fine. Just take you time with it. Plus once you fill in the edges black, you really can't see it

Can you send me a link to the one you used? I'm going to give this a shot before I take mine to the dealer incase it is the actual window.

Almost forgot the last piece to colormatch

 

[jshvttlesworth32]

Check on it regularly—it’s failed me many times. They even replaced one for me even then it failed me again I ended up changing the memory card after some friends told me that it was poor quality memory . No issues so far, but I’m still checking frequently. I’ve lost a lot of video footage before.

I just had mine replaced. Wondering if a more reliable power source would be tapping into the fuse box. What are your thoughts? Also, do you run a radar detector?

How much did you pay to get the wheel well painted?

 

[FULLTHROTTLERICK]

930 for the outers and the SxS (2.5-4”) for the inners. Both fit nicely. We tried a bigger one but too big

I don’t think the issue is power-related; rather, it’s a case of low price equating to poor-quality components. It costs $190, so I don’t have high expectations.

My experience has been the opposite of yours. I have a FitCamX dashcam in both of my vehicles and they have worked flawlessly. The one in my wife's old car was just about 3 years old. I just bought another one for her new car. I pull the SD card every 3 months or so, review the footage, reformat the SD card and reinstall it. Neither camera has missed a beat.

The price point wasn't even a consideration for me. The OEM form factor was the primary reason I bought the FitCamX. I just hate any clutter on my windshield...wires, LCD screens, etc. I realize it doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles that some of the other dashcams have, but I don't need GPS info, LTE capability, or cloud compatibility. Not having those features is probably why the FitCamX is cheaper than its competition.
