What did you do to your TRX today?

[XSTNKT]

Replaced the driveshaft.

So, is the driveshaft just an annoyance? Or will it eventually actually break if left alone?

Honestly I don’t know. Once I felt it it became an annoyance plus I wanted it replaced while still under warranty.

Added color matched mirror caps and yes I am trying to make the truck like the blue man group

They do look a lot better than black I will say.

LOVE the grill. Is that the one I’ve seen on eBay? How’s the quality?

Got it off Amazon. For the money it was pretty solid. Swap was super simple and I love the look.

I was looking for something to do to my TRX and I came across this monstrosity. Yes, for only $13K, you can make your TRX look like a freakin' Cybertruck!

These SoFlo trucks are so fuggly.

Finally got around to doing all the driveline fluids and installed the mishimoto thermostat. Running it fully bypassed right now as I didn't see as much of a drop with the thermostat in on 37's and the way I drive.

Temps so far around 140 and that works for me!

No off-road terrain, so everything out there is built for street/show. Definitely a different style preference out there, especially compared to the West. The TRX I purchased was originally purchased and built in FL and made it's way to the West Coast. Thankfully, the previous owner had good taste in parts. lol

New ECD aluminum shaft with 1480 u-joints and billet flange arrived and will be going on tomorrow or Monday. This thing is a beaut.

Is the complete driveshaft with flange and u-joints a new option? Did they explain the advantages of the billet flange vs the forged version? Besides being lighter?

I thought this little note about Ripa was hilarious.

lol putting them in their place.

Relatively new option and makes it easier to swap. Billet aluminum is lighter, stronger (not always the case), and blingy. Forged steel can be stronger than billet in some applications, but both offer more than enough strength for the driveline in these trucks. Billet is pretty much always more expensive than steel, so that's something to keep in mind.

Mated surfaces with dissimilar metals typically see accelerated corrosion - might be something to watch out for with this setup.

I’ve never had an issue with this. Aluminum and steel parts are connected around every vehicle. Sounds like an east coast problem.

What did you use to tighten the nuts? It was a major pain on my end.

Just a wrench, but I should have taken the cat out I feel could have done it way faster. It was still a pain for me also. Easy job, but not easy to get in there

Added Fitcamx today, front and rear.

agreed. And it was hard AF to really torque them down too. We did the best we could but a few weeks later 2 of them actually started weeping so we had to get in there with some mini crescents and an ultra thin wrench to really snug em up. So far so good but I'd check yours every so often just to be sure.

Installed new AFE filters. Like the fitment much better.
