What did you do to your TRX today?

Hi Hemikc4x4, congratz! I have the same color and picked mine up Feb. I hope you are happy with the purchase. I saw that you are planning on installing a tailgate step. Is there anyway you can post some pictures of the tailgate step and where you got it. thanks and enjoy the ride!
Will try and take some pics tomorrow. But it looks just like the OEM step that is under bumper. Tax and all it it was $120 on ebay
 
Drove to 7 year old all star game.

I finally used launch..(5600 miles)
I went down to the river and ran up and down the dry river bed areas.
Tested the fording depth a couple times.
Got her dirty, smiled a lot, enjoyed the view
 
Added the Yakima Overhaul HD rack system on the truck. Before had low profile stuff but went with the beefier more overland style. Needed an adaptor to work with my Pace Edwards/Leer retractable tonneau. 90 minutes to install pretty easy. Top bars are adjustable (this on lowest setting).

Took her to pick up my new toy.

I laughed a little when I had to initial next to the warnings/legal stuff. One of them said “this machine may have more performance than you are used to”…nope

Went to lunch with a couple of buddies, while in route found a Raptor that wanted to tailgate me......smoked him like he was in reverse. Older Duramax diesel pulled up next to me a light, doing the "jump" thing. Green light, I let him jump about 1 truck length ahead, floored it and showed him what a fast truck REALLY is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, and the Taco Tuesday grub was good too ! CHEERS !
 
Finally installed my BulletProofDiesel Third Brake Light Dual Antenna Mount with Chase Lights!

I really just bought it because I wanted the chase lights - I have no radio or anything to make use of the antenna mounts, but I did coil up the coax in the headliner just in case I change my mind.

With one person, and in 105+ degree temps, this was a passion project for sure haha. I parked in this SUPER shitty self-service car wash bay because at least I had shade and the occasional breeze, plus I figured I wouldn't get hassled if it wasn't busy.

I spent a couple weeks researching and ordering all the wiring stuff so that I could make my own weather pack connectors (so it would be like an OEM install). I also labeled my AUX lines with shrink wrap - easier for future reference of what's what. Interior routing wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, I didn't need to drop the entire headliner, just the driver side and very carefully ran down the A-Pillar. Getting thru the firewall was freaking annoying as all hell. I was so close to done and with one person (no one to grab the other side once it poked thru and pull.....and the stupid rubber grommet is double walled - so it's not like I could just poke thru one layer and then grab it. I'm sure there's a more efficient way, but I finally got a small tube and just did an X pattern with a knife thru the rubber - then fed the lines up the tube. Routed everything behind the battery mount for a clean install. Looks perfect and I am proud to do it myself!

BIG THANKS to @bman17 for sharing his install and answering my questions!

Installed a S&B intake. Straightforward and simple installation. Well made kit. I was hoping for more of an increase in blower whine. Thinking about drilling some holes in the acrylic to see if it gets louder. I know this will let in some hot under hood air though so maybe not a good idea?

Can always ditch the lid altogether and see how you like it. It definitely makes it a lot louder. I did not see much of a difference in IATs either, but if temps were my primary concern I’d just leave the lid intact and alone.
 
So you ran yours without the lid? Is it ridiculously loud like the BWoody? Not really looking for that much noise. I thought maybe a few one inch holes would make a difference in sound without being obnoxious
 
Legit makes me want to cancel my front light mount for the factory bumper it looks so good!

How did you get 4 lights in the front when their site only shows 3 mountable? What kind of lights/size are they?
The 4 light option is with Rigid lights. The 3 light look is with Baja Designs lights. I have both the 3 light (Baja Designs) and the 4 light (Rigid) front Bombers in stock. Message me if you are interested. I have also have rear bumpers in stock.
