That's pretty awesome.

How are the Bumpstops treating you? I'm considering adding a set. You are lifted, correct? I will most likely only be leveling 1", so not sure if they are compatible without a lift. Timbren doesn't specify that you need a lift for them.

They've been great! Easy install and they have absolutely soaked up some of the bigger hits out on some trails and also just the poorly maintained roads around my house. Don't believe you need to be lifted to use them.

That looks great! Any other mods?

Thank you! Those pics are from pretty early on so definitely a lot has been added.

Really the only things left on my list at this point are switching to a @Flatout Suspension lift coilover set at some point this year or early next and a fog light kit if a decent one ever comes out.

I'm interested to hear your opinion of the Panda Power Module - especially coupled with the aFe intake.

I am very interested in the coilovers upgrade but I don't even have the truck so I have to wait

Had to pull the intake to clean the filter after a road trip but it’s going back together this morning. PPM is wired up and waiting so I’ll keep you posted!

I've been going back and forth on the Panda Module. A 15% increase is pretty decent, but their website DynoJet chart on the Maverick shows it's actually only a 7% HP gain and 10% Torque gain. I think a real selling point would be just to show 0-60 and 1/4 mile runs with and without it on the same vehicle. That would convince me.

 

[Azmkat]

Maybe I misread Panda's DynoJet chart. I was looking at Max Power and Max Torque numbers at the bottom.

How are you liking the Panda Power Module?

i returned it months ago and got a Cobb Accessport. I had to wire the PPM an alternate way and was never impressed. The Cobb was well worth it, even if just for the ability to tune the shifting logic

 

[Azmkat]

Thank you so much for your honest opinion on it! I appreciate it.

First project of 2024 in the books today. Got my Diode Dynamics 6” pair of SAE Foglight bars wired up. Went quicker than I anticipated and I think we got it all buttoned up in ~2 hrs.

Do you think this grill is the same as yours?

Got too good of a price to pass up giving it a shot so I swapped on the RC 2” Strut lift kit over the weekend. So far ride quality is much cleaner than my spacer lift. Had 1 noise in the drivers front side after install but it ended up being the brake rotor shield slightly out of place after install. Adjusted it and noise was gone.

Slapped on my Trail Rated SideKick exhaust from @MRTperformance tonight after it showed up. Love it so far. Great sound that isn’t overbearing and no more pipe dangling behind the rear axle. And yes, I know I have a screw in the tire
