What did you do to your TRX today?

[MurderedCat]

It was a joke. The rotor and hub look like tiny wheels and tires if you squint just right.

I actually had a new(er) set of Goodyears mounted yesterday. It's amazing how much I had gotten used to the sound of the worn-down tires. Now it's extremely quiet.

Way over my head.

Mine are only at 19k rotated every oil change and getting LOUD already.

 

[RamTrxUSA]

Was there supposed to be a pic of said tires?

What are you talking about? The tire is there.

Did that setup get rid of the "chirp"?
Thinking about doing the same

@BigRay can probably make you a set suited for the TRX.

Can make this easily

I think it made it louder . My wife asked if my truck was ok a few days after install. "It's making a weird noise "

Just realized I never posted here. A little while back I installed some chase lights from @Shifts_And_Grins . I like that the lights are kind of stealthy when not on. Still need some nighttime pics. I just couldn’t make myself buy the Bulletproof 3rd Brake Light Mount (kind of pricy, and didn’t want to mess with a brake light that doesn’t currently leak).

Ordered the goodies for upcoming oil change.

Forgot to post this one as an FYI

 

[Snowbaruu]

Ordered a catch can from billet tech in April. Looks nicer than some of the other ones and I could get orange to match the engine. They advertised 6-8 weeks.

We're now at 10 weeks and no word. I emailed them last week and I got a reply yesterday that the can is ready, they are still waiting for mounts to be made and sent out to powder. So still several more weeks I guess.

When I asked for an estimate on how much longer the answer I got was "I wish I can say, only time will tell".

WTF, it's your store you make the damn things. Seems a ridiculous response.

What other brand do you guys recommend. Don't feel like waiting another 2 months and after that interaction I'm not sure I want to support them.

Did your parts arrive from Billet yet? I'm still waiting since March. I sent out another email today. 6months is insane. They always say the same thing. "Getting ready to send out some parts for coloring. Not sure which color is coming up next"... Like how the F do you not know lol. Are your boys standing around rolling a dice on the next color? I requested specific dates. Will see if they are capable of providing at least that

they wait until they have enough orders to send stuff in to save on costs. They're VERY slow

Nope, nothing yet. I'm over it honestly, won't recommend them at all. Don't care how nice it ends up being, the wait and CS are absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Ev_nev_R]

I tried once ordering from them and after six months still no product. Cancelled, never again.

I think they're good people and i've previously ordered 6-7 catch cans from them. However, after now owning a MM can i can say with 0 bias that the BT cans are nothing special. MM build quality seems higher and the media is much bigger than the BT can. BT cans are a solid average can for an average price.

I don't think we're suggesting they're bad people. However solid businesses usually place an emphasis on communication and customer service. Whoever is responding to emails over there in is lacking in that department. If they advertise 10-12 week lead time, it's unethical to arbitrarily extended that LT to whatever date they decide just to further save a buck. They don't advertise a minimum order quantity. It's not like they haven't been paid. They've had my money in their account for 6 months. I would accept a few weeks push to save on manufacturing cost. If they are experiencing a global supply shortage of red anodized or something unfortunate happened to their maunufacturing facility I would understand. Outside of that, there is no longer any excuse. I don't want to cancel my order, but their responses don't instill me with much confidence

I agree with all of this. When I emailed way after the estimated lead time their response was "only time will tell". WTF it's your company what do you mean only time will tell? It's your job to have an acceptable response when a customer has an inquiry.

Yeah, I never said anyone was attacking them. I was just giving you guys my experience with em over the past decade. Every Can we ever ordered took several months to get except for one they had in stock in a bare aluminum finish. They usually responded within a few days but can delays were pretty common

Yea thats pretty pathetic CS

My son and I finally got around installing the ngk 2309 spark plugs purchased from @Nick797 . The passenger side is easy while the driver side is what you’ll waste the most time on. Luckily my son was able to crawl under and take care of the driver side.

In the process I discovered I have a valve gasket leak on the passenger side.

About 4 or 5 spark plugs were wet with oil on the threads. I’ll be taking the truck in for warranty work.

On a positive note the truck does idle much smoother.
