Level one. $250+$20 for shipping. We didn’t haggle, that’s what I offered, and he was good with it.

I just purchased a TRX wheel. He has decided to go with an aftermarket wheel. Once he gets it changed out, he will send his takeoff to me. I didn’t want the TRX label, or the red stitching. But wanted it heated. After several conversations, found someone that had what I wanted. I’m...

I know a guy that has his TRX take off steering wheel for sale. If you already have a GT, this looks to be a simple upgrade. Would probably work without the paddle shifters, but not sure. You get the flat bottom, and generally looks sportier in my opinion. This one has the upgraded red...

I have not, but I know someone who has a take off. He replaced his OEM with an aftermarket steering wheel. His has the red stitching and is heated. Let me know if you are interested. Send a PM, with contact info, and I will pass it along.

I’m a big off road guy, so 35” tires are a must for me. I already have 3.92 with my Rebel package. It would be worth it to me, but it’s a $$$$ load of money for just having a better looking truck.

I totally understand why you suggest this. The TRX would have checked a lot of boxes. The compromise that couldn’t be overcome is the range, do to that incredible engine. I don’t need more power, totally happy with the 5.7. It’s a reliable proven power plant. I love the range I get from my...

Point taken. From an engineering perspective these modifications align with their loads. Passing torque to the rear end. They want to dissipate heat, and prevent Ring gear misalignment. These are appropriate mods for their use case. A drag trip is a level service. Off roading is not. My...

Absolutely true. I’m not trying to increase my payload. Just operate at max for prolonged periods of time. The frame is not the weak point for off roading. The Sami float axle is. When Ram built the TRX, they chose a full float Dana 60 for the same reason. The frame was upgraded, to support...

I understand your point. And I would agree, if I only used my truck on road. But that is not how I use my truck. I have personally been on an over-landing adventure, when a Ram 1500 (2019 Rebel) broke his rear end. It was an ordeal getting his truck home. He had to replaced his rear end...

I already have a quote from JMACX in Australia. They will export, but it’s expensive. I have also reached out to a few companies, that builds Dana 60’s for the Jeep community. This is where the idea of a narrow TRX axle build was suggested. I started this thread, thinking I may not be the...

IFS will always provide a better on road drive experience. Better for go fast off roading: playing in the Sand Dunes, or long unimproved washboard roads in the desert. Solid axles are simple and tuff. Much better for slow technical off roading. Much better for heavy loads, and maintain...

Spring rates and solid front axles are the cause of the different ride experiences.

Nothing is wrong with OEM locker. It’s fantastic. The driving force to this project, isn’t to fix a locker issue. Full float axles can take more abuse. There is a company in Australia that will convert the Chrysler 9.25 to full float. I don’t want to ship an axle to Australia. Their...

I agree, for most owners this wouldn’t be needed. It all comes down to use case. For those of us that abuse our trucks, it may be worth considering. I have a friend that has already had a rear axle failure. Metal splitting where the bearing mount. He has chosen to replace with a new OEM...

Moving from a Semi-float to full float would not impact ride quality. You would increase weight, but ride quality is not impacted by unsprung weight.

I may be missing your point. Is this a suggestion to change to a 2500/3500? If my assumption is correct, I don’t like the way solid front axle trucks feel on the road. I prefer the 1500 for comfort on long roadtrips. IFS is better for go fast off roading. I already have Jeep Wranglers for...

Is your truck 4X2 or 4X4? This will really change the formula on how hard and expensive changing gears to 3.92 will be. If 4X2 most shops can change gears. You will want to update your computer for both wheel size and gearing. Lots of options for this. If you are 4X4 this complicates the...

I’m often working my 1500 very hard. Loaded very close to max payload, towing a trailer, driving on washboard roads. With all this punishment, I would like to extend my safety net, by building up my truck. What I don’t want to do is detract from what I love about my truck, the great ride...

I hevent spent much time looking for lockers for the AAM Chrysler 9.25. I have the OEM selectable locker, so don’t feel a driving need to upgrade.
