What Did You Do With Your TRX (or Other Ram) Today?

[BlackGold6.4]

So you like a lowered truck as much as a lifted one? I never met someone that was 50/50 on ride height before.

I would lower a 2x4 but a 4x4..no But have had ideas of a "AWD truck" lowering the back at bit with AT3's ...mall crawler (to handle the winters)

Skid plate looks much better color matched with the fenders. Flushed out caps look much better to. You liking your light bar location still, now that you have had some time with it?

Is it just amber or is it both amber and normal white?

Also, are you more into the TRX then your Gen 2 Raptor?

The light bar is white with amber backlighting. No, equally I'd say. I did a load of mods to both my Gen 1 and Gen 2 Raptors.

Does the backlight amber still do the job on showing enough yellow at night? I just bought a Baja light bar for my Raptor and it has amber backlighing. Was curious how bright that yellow will be.

Backlighting is just a "it looks cool" thing, it doesn't provide any nighttime or real illumination, that's what the primary light function on the light bar does. They are similar to the marker lights on the Raptor/TRX. I have mine wired, so the amber backlighting is always on when I start the truck but when I hit the Aux 1 switch, then the primary light goes on in replace of the backlight.

Cool. Need to look into doing that on mine.

Totally. If I could afford two trucks, one bagged, tubbed and body dropped to lay frame on pavement, and the other with a 10" lift and 40s, I'd be in heaven.
