Got bored and mounted it myself today. I may have added a couple new love marks in the process but I assure you it was already curbed and beat up when I started. Might give her the ole plasti-dip, not that anyone would see it. BTW, this GM wheel is heavy as shit. 40 pounds. Think the stock Ram...

Welcome and congrats on the TRX. It’s an awesome vehicle all around.

Got lucky and found a decent used 305/50 Nitto 420v on eBay for $60 shipped. Wish they had at least 3 more lol. But it’ll make for a good matching spare at least. Have an old rim in the shed from my 2016 GMC that has the same bolt pattern so I’m into the whole thing for basically nuthin. Love...

Yeah. All they did was an inspection and said it was fine. Also said that every other one they checked so far was fine. I figured as much since the tailgate hasn’t flown open on it’s own in the last year and a half.

I am probably biased. But I suspect the depreciation on a $100,000 EV will be quite a bit worse than a $100,000 TRX. EV tech is progressing so fast. And nobody trusts these batteries long term. Jay Leno said something to this effect: Better to buy the last version of old tech than the first...

3.5 months later the saga is over. Second new shock installed (correctly) and everything is quiet!

Had this recall done today. Everything was fine, no adjustment needed. Service advisor said they’ve checked a handful already and all were good to go.

Seems like it. Not much of a difference right now if you load them out. Of course the Raptor R will be marked up 40k and the TRX can be had for 10k off. Ouch! I’m starting to see normal new trucks being marked down pretty aggressively around here so there’s no way in hell I’d pay a markup like...

$86,450 now. Yikes. Full load out just under $113,000. Stupid.

This is what I came up with to install the caps. Hole in the wheel was just a little too big so I cut some 3” circles of 3/16 ABS. Then drilled a 56mm hole in each. Center cap pushes through the front of the wheel like normal, then the plastic ring I cut goes over the tabs on the center cap from...

This is a TRX I found on the FB group on 305/50R20. It doesn’t look bad really. 305/55R20 is the other Nitto 420v I’m considering. Issue with that is it’s 15lbs heavier and about $130 more per tire. Start to lose the point of this endeavor when I’d only be shaving 5 pounds a corner vs 20.

Some center caps I’m working on. Goal is to imagine what a street TRX would/could be so the SRT center caps make sense to me. Of course even those are being modified to be more factory looking. They are OEM Mopar parts, but the SRT script is a bright finish that doesn’t match anything. Some...

Nice welding there brother. 👍👍

I’m in. Ram doesn’t actually sell just the plastic. My dealer had to order a whole shock over broken plastic. So seems like there’s a huge market down the road for these.

Yeah, it was horrible. Had a few days in the negatives. Not a lot of snow at least. Just wind and cold.

34. 55 is pretty great for late December in Wisconsin!

It’s been bad here. Had that winter storm over the weekend so they dumped a million pounds of salt. Now everything is melting and making a saltwater mess. It’ll probably be ruined by tomorrow at this time but oh well.

55 degrees here so did my own “touchless” wash and also changed oil.

Yeah, that’s my fear. I think 33s would look okay. I guess it’s not being done for appearance anyway but I don’t wanna look like I skipped too many leg days either.

Working on assembling a set of summer wheels and (street) tires. Focus is getting the weight down as much as possible for more performance. Should also improve the handling and fuel economy too. I’ll probably get trashed for it but I just don’t go off road in the spring or summer. These Weld...
