What did you do to your TRX today?

[FULLTHROTTLERICK]

Amsoil; Oil and brake fluid replaced @46k miles. Finally figured out the issue I was having with the eibach 2.7 springs. Turned out there was too much preload which caused the rough and stiff ride.

Dang you already replaced the brake fluid?!!

It was a brownish color. It’s a 21 with 46k miles with a decent amount of stop and go.

I went by the fact it’s been more than 3 years so I figured to replace it some fresh brake fluid. Wasn’t experiencing any issues at all though. Didn’t want to treat it like the Jeep where I went 10 years without a change. The fluid in the Jeep was basically black.

Ahh gotcha ok that sounds good then. We're bout to hit 50k but not quite as old as yours. Fluid still looks pretty good. Did you do a full fluid change like brake bleed and the whole 9?

Correct; all 4 corners. Used a brake bleeder bottle and a power bleeder.

Wrapped it, tinted it, and ceramic coated the trim.

We did 4 days of Extreme Wheeling and 2000+ Miles of Highway Driving with a Blown CV Axle and THEN THIS HAPPENED…

Looks like a good weight reduction. Do some pulls while it's stripped just for research. Jk

All my painted parts showed up tonight, all on and very happy with the new look.

Installed Metco tensioner and idler pulleys. Really nice pieces. And a surprising weight reduction (not that it really matters on this pig).

Looks great, I have the same set up, love it.

You can do the additional lower guide pulley as well (can’t really see it easily but did it anyway) and accessory belt pulleys to match.

Nice, I’m gonna do those accessory pulleys next for sure. I hate the shitty plastic ones it came with. The other supercharger idler I’ll probably leave alone for now. I was tempted but like you said, it’s kinda buried down there.

Not nice to call your friends that.....

Agreed, those stock pulleys are ugly and heavy as shit too. These billet ones look awesome.

I did the adjustable idler bracket for some additional bling too. Once I change the upper supercharger pulley, I will have all the adjustment needed.

Change engine and transfer case oil and had a new belt installed. I kept the old belt as spare for just case moments.

You’ll definitely loose even more weight ditching the stock blower pulley. Things a real brick.

Dang that is heavy. I haven’t figured out which pulley to go with yet? What size did you go with and what kind of tune?

Griptec 2.95. Weighs maybe 1/4 of that stock one but isn’t clutched so I did pin the lower to be safe. Flex fuel tune through Dusterhoff (DT937). Perfect TRX setup IMO. It rips when you want it to but drivability is as good as stock and nothing is really stressed too much at this level. Can still tow my boat and do whatever else I want.
