After smashing my front bumper skid plate at the sand dunes it's finally time to install the factory black lower bumper on the RAM TRX
Great content! Like all the info you put out for the trx has helped me with my trx build. Only issue I had with mine was the coolant leak on back of supercharger so far. Thanks again!
We had one in the shop recently with a loose hose on the back of the supercharger just like that! Thanks for the comment and view!
your videos are the best for TRX and RAM products. love to see some camera install for this truck for those of us that bought the base model or maybe still that sunroof cut in lol great content . always looking forward to whats next . helping us Base guys stock up .
Thanks that means a lot! Thanks for the view!
Definitely one of my favorite channels. I have the exact same truck. White Trx no pano, lv2 and am quite a novice mechanic, but still like to entertain tinkering with things. So to have someone with your knowledge putting out videos gives me a great relief to be able to tackle a few things that seem doable. I hope you keep the Rex for a long time to come and continue to push our excellent vids. Thx a bunch from SoCal. It’s hot out here too
Thanks that means a lot! I have no plans of getting rid of it. Thanks for the view!
I liked the grey but the all black is really sharp!
And less dented!
Oh no, the TRX got dented!!!! It turned out okay, it looks great now!!! Thanks for sharing this fun video!!! 👍👍🙂
Thanks for watching!
Do you happen to notice the powder coat chips very easy? I know the rebel and TRX practically share the same bumper and my 22 Rebel has rock chips like crazy with only 15K on the clock. You would think for a 75k and 100+K trucks they would be better built.
So far they seem to be holding up decently but I will have to start looking closer! Thanks for the view!
Getting ready to my Rebel. Very helpful thank you man
No problem! It's a pain but it looks really good after! Thanks for the view!
I agree. The front looks much better, all black. My wife would ask me if I dented that part on purpose?
I just tried to not tell mine lol
Lol how am I just barely seeing this video? I was sitting here and a thought came to my mind like wait what happened to Tyler Potter and boom there’s this video lol
Thanks man!
Cool video thanks for the content, I agree RAM should have had the black bumper from factory…
It looks like it should have looked from the factory now!
Shoulda just gone to an aftermarket much more clearance front bumper since you had the same work. My two cents.
$200ish to put the black skid plate on vs. $2000+ for an aftermarket one made my decision for me lol also the bumper I really want requireds the frame to be cut and I'm still not sure I have made that commitment yet! Thanks for the view!
Hi Sir, I am about to buy TRX. What would you advise? I know it depends on individual preference. …Ram Bar or No Ram Bar?……power running board or off road running style board? …..I will use it more on daily drive than off road…Thank you so much. More power to you.
I personally don't love the RAM bar but it does look cool on some trucks I have seen and I really like my fixed style off-road board as they help to reduce a lot of potential rock chips off of the bed sides that would be thrown off of the front tires. Thanks for the view!
@@TylerPotter Thank you. I appreciate your response. Thank you for all the videos. Please continue doing that. I am learning a lot from you. By the way, I decided to go without Ram Bar(I was thinking it will add weight and I don’t put additional lights anyway) and with fixed off-road style running board(like what you said save the paint).
Looks great Tyler 👍👍
Thanks!
Will this part fit on to a 2020 rebel?
Yes this part was originally for the Rebel with the black appearance package.
Is the new skid plate painted or powder coated? Does it have the textured finish of the original? Thanks.
Textured power coat just like the factory bumper.
Great video Tyler, I couldn’t find that part anywhere near $200. Any tips? About $350 shipped is the best I could find
Yeah I bought it a while ago it was probably right around $300 like you are finding. Thanks for the view!
As cheap as that truck is made, since the front bumper was dented, I would have went with an aftermarket one. Since .. you know, they are not made of sheet metal and plastic. Next pot hole you hit it's just going to get dented again.
I would love to go with an aftermarket bumper but this $200 fix is a lot more affordable for the time being lol also the bumper that I want requires cutting both of the front frame horns off and I haven't fully committed to that yet. Thanks for the view!
Is the new skid plate powder coated or painted? Does it have the textured feeling of the original? Thanks.
I believe they are powder coated and it is a textured black just like the rest of the bumper. Thanks for the view!
@@TylerPotter thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
thats badass
Thanks I think it looks a lot better! Thanks for the view!
I just simply had mine painted.
That is a lot more cost affective but mine was pretty badly damaged from the sand dunes. So a new one took care of both issues. Thanks for the view!
What was the rough cost of having yours painted?
Is the new skid plate painted or powder coated? Does it have the textured finish of the original?
Textured power coat just like the factory bumper.
