What did you do to your TRX today?

[MyWifeLetMe]

You are right, I see Mickey Thompson makes 44x13.5R20LT mud terrains. I'm sure others do to. Better to skip 42 and go straight to 44.

And I always figured portals were in your future.

I know he will get to 44s eventually, might as well save the money and skip the 42s...and just go ahead and do all the fender trimming now

Portals should equal less trimming lol. 48" super swampers or bust .

Let's get a company on custom 55's just for @FULLTHROTTLERICK that way he can be 20 over stock.

I think I finally found an Amber match for a little back light in the front fender vents. I’d tried a couple cheaper ones but they were either too light like yellow or too dark leaning to Orange. These are TruFlex auxiliary amber strips. I ordered the 5 inch from Custom Dynamics, which is really a motor cycle site. I ran them to the same aux switch as my M&R fog light back lighting switch so they come on together. Picture makes them brighter than they really are.

55s does have a nice ring to it. 55s till I die?

Stealthier but added weight. Deleted the RAM and added some protection to the cats. The next mod will be adding RHO bed graphics . Funny, not funny .

I really like the look with no Ram in the grille, but i am partial.

Man i dont give a F about my cats being stolen but that extra protection from boulders looks killer! How stout are they? I see a Rivnut tool is needed so I'm curious how many bolts are threaded into Rivnuts vs. how many are threaded into pre-existing holes in the frame?

It is listed as 3/16" aluminum which is lighter, and more corrosion-resistant than steel. That would be better suited for trails and overlanding where weight savings is more important.

If you are rock crawling, a steel skid would be better to prevent bending or puncturing and providing a stronger surface to slide over boulders.

I'm fairly sure these plates are just to add time (extra cutting) to the removal of the cats. 3/16" aluminum can be cut pretty quick with a reciprocating saw.

100% agree but do you recall how many rivnuts you had to install per side?

Oh, I didn't install them. I looked at them briefly and didn't think the juice was worth the squeeze. From their install video you use two factory bolt locations at the front of each guard and two riv-nuts w/bolts at the back. You would need to drill a couple holes in the trans skid crossmember.

Ok great. I just found their install vid too, thanks man!

(4 bolts each side) Two 5/16 riv nuts each side along with two OEM bolts each side. It seems pretty stout. But the way you do…you, I am sure you will rip the bolts out of the riv nuts at some point!

Well, it is that time of year again. I just gave the great state of CO $950.33 for the privilege of legally driving on, what some might consider, sub-standard roads for another year.
