What did you do to your TRX today?

[HorsePowerObsessed]

Just got mine back from BlackOut Tinting Miami, thanks to @HorsePowerObsessed for the recommendation.

Full PPF, Tint Work and Ceramic Coating. Amazing work, recommend these guys!

Looks awesome! Congrats on the the truck, she's definitely a beast!

Truck looks gorgeous. Did they go right over decals with the PPF?

Please report back what the dealer says about your airbag email. Reports here on the forum suggest that's a glitch and a false report. I've had my truck for month and got the email (only once), but there's no light on in the truck and the RAM app doesn't indicate there's an airbag fault (it gives the airbag a green check). If I get around to it (or the emails persist), I might plug in my scan tool.

So, it was a false report or false email. The dealer showed me his screen in that there was no outstanding issues related to the air bags. So, it's in the shop now only for the periodic cracking/popping noises coming from the speakers, check the AC to see if it cools enough and periodically the Uconnect screen does not turn on when you start the car and drive.

TODAY: She got some sun protection...XR+ on all glass; 30% front windows and 70% windshield, sunroof, side rear and back window...Fastlane Tint in South Scottsdale did a great job, looks awesome!

TOMORROW: She gets fitted for an XPEL ClearBra (gotta love see through bra's) for front clip and front of rear fenders with stealth for rockers and then a full body massage with some premium ceramic...

Just installed the Sentry CT with the TonneauMate. Not sure if I’m going to keep the toolbox, losing a good bit of bead space. Without it. I can easily remove the Sentry tonneau cover if I need full bed access pretty easily.

Nice! I love those steps, especially with 2 little kiddos! And I like how your Ravelco is postioned to not block access to the fuse panel(mine blocks the screw). Oh, and that "Pull to Eject" is frickin' hilarious!

Finally put in the aFe Pro Dry S air filters. Whoopee!

I did the same last weekend. I thought 10 screws were a bit much especially the 5 screws in the back and had to climb on top of the engine to get to them. What were those engineers thinking... Anyway, the AFE and the stock air filters are pretty hefty. Congratz!

Color matched mirror cover, RB20’s, ceramic coating, ceramic tint all the windows, add a shock sensor, tazer, mud flaps, T-Rex hitch cover color matched, also muffler delete! Now just need to do the ram in the grill I’m white! Maybe some new shoes also!

This week was XR+ tint, 30% for front windows and 70% for everything else including windshield & Pano roof. XPEL clear PPF for front clip, mirror caps, leading/front lower half of rear fenders and stealth for the gloss black rockers. She also got a full body premium ceramic treatment. Will post better 'glamor shots' later but this was a quickie iPhone shot when picking her up...

Update on the PPF: Guy's/Gal's, I'm just not 'lovin' the stealth PPF on the rockers...Part of the problem is it really isn't a very good job and that got me looking at it much more critically. I'm also not sure that Ram didn't have it right with the Gloss Black rockers on the White-gave it a 'pop' that is now missing. If I decide to stay with the stealth, I may have another shop redo it. If I decide to ditch it however, I will have another shop install clear on the rockers. When you open the drivers door, the stealth goes up pretty even with the black rocker line-when I opened the rear drivers side the stealth line was all over the place with a good 1/2 inch of the gloss black exposed...
When I went to pick up my TRX, I had to refuse it as one of the mirror caps was done very poorly (two piece PPF that had a large gap you could see from 10 feet away and when they did the partial on the front rear fenders they did half the gas cap that looked goofy from 20 feet away! I left the truck and came back a few hours later and those had been fixed-but still with two piece PPF mirror covers...they insist they cannot do one piece on Ram mirrors but another shop that says they do it all the time...I did look at this shops work before I left my TRX there and the cars I looked at were all done very well and their reviews are positive. No one is perfect, and maybe they just had an off day, but I have neither the time or patience to deal with them on this anymore.
Today was a very busy work day, off tomorrow and will inspect the whole truck much more carefully, study the stealth look a bit more and then come up with a game plan...

Dynamic Tint in Tempe did my full front ppf and rockers and I think they did an excellent job (in case you're researching other shops in AZ)

It's been over a year since I put Wizards nano coat on. So on it goes again. 3 hours to wash, 3 hours coating entire truck.

More on poor XPEL PPF install...
On closer inspection today it seems obvious that while these guys can do good work (I have seen some cars that looked very good) they must have thought F' it's a pickup truck-lets let the rookies practice...who clearly do not give a damm.

1, Already the XPEL stealth on some edges of the rockers is lifting, the stealth on the rockers is not even close to the paint line on the inside of the door sills, stealth between the rear wheels and bumper leaves a large gloss portion as the stealth is only on the very front of the panels and NOTHING is wrapped! I asked when I dropped it off if the fender flares needed to be removed and they said they could tuck it back nicely without removing the flares-they just applied to the very front flat areas and no tucking anywhere-even where it would have been very easy.
2, Partial clear XPEL PPF on right rear fender looks as though a small section was cut with a very dull knife-very rough edge. Also, the way they did the partial on the rear fenders offers zero protection above the wheel well line...
3, They supposedly cleaned and ceramic coated the wheels and while they pealed one of the square factory paper stickers from the wheel, they were too damm lazy to use goof off and remove the adhesive residue before coating right over it!












Note: The shop that did the PPF is NOT the same guys who did the tint!
Fastlane Auto Tint in South Scottsdale did the tint and they did an outstanding job!

Ugggg, that bites. Sorry that happened. If you haven't already, time to get face time with the manager/owner.
