Plus, it adds an easy 10hp.😎
Took me longer to get switch out of packaging, then to actually install it.

For those installing; it's waaay easier to pull lower panel and pop switch out from behind, then to remove panel switch button is mounted in. That panel is a prick to sneak by instrument cluster bezel when re installing

Yesterday I stopped in by my local body shop after seeing they had a sign up for paintless dent removal. I had 6 door dings on my truck and they bothered me every single time I detailed and wanted to get an estimate for repair.

Apparently they now have a full time PDR guy working there. He looked at my truck and said $200 cash and he will do it right now and will be done in an hour. Being Saturday I was quite shocked but happily jumped on that offer. One hour later it was done and looks absolutely perfect. To say I was happy is an understatement. Now that’s what I call service.👍🏻

I’m amazed at the PDR work those guys do. My wife had two cars get hit really bad with hail and both looked absolutely perfect after.

Not something I give two $%^@ about. :p

It was cheaper and better to swap the TRX interior than to reupholster my existing seats. My passenger seat was originally manual. Already sold the original seats and console so the whole thing cost me less than $800. I am picking up two front TRX door panels later this week. Still working on the rear door panel options.
When does the engine and tranny swap happen?

Haha! Not something I have any plans for. But I did find out I can flash the TCM to a GT calibration and have working manual shift. May look into that down the road.

Make sure to research any necessary brake upgrades as well.

Too often we seek out more 'go' and forget to ensure that we can stop too.

Don’t see that as giving any real go improvement. It would just be a manual shift capability that doesn’t currently exist in my truck. I have no need to go faster at this point in my life.

[QUOTE="Eighty, post: ]Maybe you can’t see it, but your response above has all sorts of gobbledygook. It is some kind of tapatalk problem as I understand it.

Strange that it doesn’t do it with every reply
