    Highly Modified 2014 Gen 1 Raptor

    Nice Raptor. I have one like that without most of those upgrades.

    Shock options

    I have my OE shocks I would sell if you need some to send off for rebuild.

    Shock options

    I ended up doing it myself and replacing the shocks with the ones from aFe. Very pleased with the results.

    Front end squeak after new shock install

    Thanks for the comments. The aFe shocks come with the spring already installed as an adjustable coil over. I suspect that the squeak is something simple as soon as I can track it down. I re-torqued everything and that helped a little but it is still happening in severe bumps or bridge joints. It...

    Thanks, I am enjoying it so far. Yes, some dirt is indeed planned.

    Front end squeak after new shock install

    Thanks, I will check. Shaft seal? The noise was not happening on the old shocks.

    Front end squeak after new shock install

    No, I did not. In fact, I probably need to go back and check that it is at the 300 ft pounds that it calls for. Thanks

    Front end squeak after new shock install

    I just finished the aFe Sway-away shocks and they are great. I have noticed that I am getting a Front end squeak after new shock installation. It is on sharp bumps and is a metal sounding chirp or squeak from either front suspension area. What could this be? I have not torn back into it to find...

    New aFe Sway-away Shocks installed

    I agree, they are indeed rather stiff. I think it will be fine though. I don't have a good comparison since I have not driven my Raptor with good functioning Fox shocks on it.

    2010 Molten Orange Raptor Scab build thread

    Last weekend, I upgraded the worn Fox OE shocks with the aFe Swayaway shocks. The difference was amazing and the truck actually rides quite firm now. I do have a couple of squeaks when I hit a sharp bump or expansion joint. It is coming from the front and I have not had time to trace it out...

    New aFe Sway-away Shocks installed

    I installed my new aFe Sway-away Shocks over the weekend. What a huge difference they made. My old Foxes were shot and these really work well. The installation was not terrible, the fronts are more challenging than the back by a long shot but everything is together and tested. The only real...

    More electrical glitches rom my Gen 1

    I have experienced some electrical issues after recently purchasing my 2010 Raptor. Occasionally, the hill descent error flashes on. I can turn the truck off and restart and it goes away. This is new, I left this morning in the Raptor before the sun was up and noticed that my tail lights and...

    Video of the jump? Sounds fun but I need to get more comfortable with this truck. I had an old Toyota FJ40 before this so there is twice the size to consider. Fun times :)

    Yes, I do plan to get dirty with it. Nothing super serious but some trails and roads in the area that are fun. There are miles and miles of great trails near me. Windrock Park is fun and there are other areas nearby that are free. :)
