I was looking back at the Build Week spreadsheet and just digging into the details (I'm in data analytics so, it's hard for me not to do that).
When I first "placed" my 2023 order, I changed to a WT from a loaded BD. I ended up not getting the High or Lux package because I was worried about...
I have a 2023 Wildtrak as well. Took delivery late December. I've gone to town and have spent a lot more than $2k, but most of the suggestions are really good so far and you have the mudflaps.
Currently installed:
JCR Aluminum Vanguard Bumper
RCI Rocksliders
RCI Aluminum Skid Plates
RTR Rear...
Okay. I just found this one. Who's getting it?

NICE guys!
This is my old plate from my GTI.
Yes, it's a racing term that means late apex. I used this move to typically make passes in our BMW 335 race car. It had a ton of acceleration and top end compared to the lighter cars with far less HP.
Friends and family that know nothing about racing...
You can simulate load using the dyno so it's not in a little or no "effort."
You can actually simulate going up hill in windy conditions with a loaded up vehicle too.
I understand the back-to-back quick sweeps. It's only going to be for a short time relatively speaking, but in the end taxing...
Let's see what everyone has and the reason you chose what you did.
I have a Fox Racing hitch cover. Goes well with my HOSS 3.0 Fox suspension.
It's made of polyurethane too, so it's flexible. I had to elongate the hole so it would fit the RTR rear bumper. Not a big deal.
Basically I went with APR due to their size and budget they had to develop products. They spend a ton of time on R&D prior to releasing their products. I've seen other manufacturers release products and they had to make changes/updates to them almost immediately.
Plus, their tune didn't turn off...
TY for the response and details!
Did you do any extended sweep times and take readings at different RPMs to put together a full sweep?
Meaning, did you run at say 1500rpms for 2 minutes and then slowly increase through the rpm range and take readings every two minutes? This would recreate...
I have used Corsa on several cars in the past. They are LOUD at wide-open throttle and sound really good when accelerating, but they are quiet when you get to a cruising speed.
They have a technology that puts the sound 180 degrees out so it essentially noise cancels itself.
I actually coined...
I just saw this on IG. Not sure how good they are, but they are expensive.
If you're looking for some obscure patch, I think this would be a good place to start.

I will be doing a full write-up the other parts I've installed so far:
JCR Aluminum front bumper
RTR rear bumper
RTR spare tire carrier
RCI aluminum skid plates
RCI rock sliders
I still have a...
Got them installed over the weekend!

The bronze is a bit different in real life. It's darker than you think and really changes colors based on lighting conditions. They get to almost a chocolate brown when it's dusk. In...
Couple of questions:
1. What were the sweep times? You said you ran them back to back six times under loaded conditions. Did you do any extended sweeps of several hours?
2. Any flow details of the intercooler vs. stock? I know you're making statements regarding factory construction and surface...
A couple of questions:
1. Was this run at operating temperature or cold? We all know that if an engine isn't run at operating temperature, then the dyno results are moot since the engine will never actually run in that state on the road.
2. How long was the sweep time?
3. Did you do any steady...
