God damn this makes me want 37's even more! Looks great! So the rear is still stock? Does it sit level? Nose high? So you got alignment done while the perch hasn't settled yet?

Knocked out the lower balljoints today. Rolled the dice on the Mevotech TTX (Tough Terrain Xtreme) which is marketed as a ‘heavy duty’ solution. Half the price of OEM. Seem like really nice units but time will tell. One of mine was in really good shape. The other one still had a little life but...

Changed my transmission mount yesterday. A little background. A while back after the trans install I crawled under the Raptor to see how different the setup was from a 2wd F150 and noticed a huge crack in the rubber on my transmission mount. I ordered the part from Tasca for about $100 just to...

I'm running them. I did a tune-up when I first bought the truck at the beginning of the year and threw a set of these in there. they seem fine to me. About 11 months and 14k miles of running them. No issues.

Mine stopped working for a period of time. I plugged up ForSCAN and cleared all the codes (it's stored one on the BCM that said the driver side puddle light had shorted) and it worked. Wouldn't hurt to do a BCM reset on ForSCAN while you're in there. I've since replaced them with complete LED...

Not related to my Raptor but the 6R80 transmission replacement on my father-in-laws work truck went down this weekend. Transmission job in a driveway on jack stands is rough. Almost lost a finger in the process. Few lessons learned for sure. 2WD with a V6 so process would be a little different...

The struggle is real my brother. The intentions are always there. If I had a second person just for camera work it would be great. Then there's editing, uploading, etc. I just can't be bothered with all that work lol. Bless those that do it though. I think the guilt of not contributing enough to...

Nice man! Love the NC mountains. Nah, I don't see many Raptors up there either. Subies for sure. Toyota's too (4Runners and Tacos). I don't think those narrow twisties are best suited for the Raptor, though my crazy buddy just got back from Tail of the Dragon whipping his around with a bunch of...

Man I always have those intentions to do a nice write-up, take plenty of pictures, post a DIY to the web, hell maybe even make a YouTube video or something, especially since I'm super indebted to all of those before me that have put forth the effort to do so and share their knowledge... And then...

Thank you sir! Gorgeous rig you got there. Yeah, A/C is where I'm happy with it now. I really didn't see anything in the evap core out of the ordinary. Just pinning the fresh air door shut made all the difference. Really wish I would have done that before taking it to the dealer, but the haste...

LED puddle lights Replaced upper control arms. Shout out to Rock Auto. First I don’t understand how these Raptor parts are like $50 each. Even for the 4Runner a factory replacement Moog arm is still $150. Whatever, I’ll take it. Parts showed up at my door 25 hours from when I clicked ‘buy’...

Plugging and chugging away. Update on the sway bar situation; I like it. No sway and mid perch feels nearly perfect for me. I haven’t noticed any additional body roll but front moves much better. I’ve been without sways on the 4Runner (on and off) for probably 9 years and it’s drastic in the...

199,994 miles. Was a productive morning. The fuel pump deal snowballed into a fiasco that went from a 2 hour job to a week and half long evolution. All good now and several lessons learned. Oil change and transfer case fluid change. Disconnected the sway bar to see how I like it, checked...

Next if you're willing to ship to SC

Tackled the fuel pump last night after work racing the sunset. Found out the issue. The upper contact on the wiper was completely broken off (circled in red) so it wouldn’t have mattered how many bottles of cleaner I dumped in there. Overall not a terrible job. Worst part for me was...

Updating while I get a chance. After the new hub, truck was happy (no dash lights) for about a week. Then took it adventuring and, like always, at the furthest distance away from home pops a low fuel light, CEL, and gauge runs to “E”, even though I know I have plenty of fuel. Tried the fuel...

Subbing to the conversation. I'm in the Charlotte area. Don't know if you guys were able to make anything happen and haven't joined the FB group yet, but would be down to get together. Anybody doing the TORR Run next month in GA? Still trying to sell the wife on the idea. And the other Jar Head...

I vote 3rd brake light

Quick update. Already having an issue with my driver side headlight. Waiting on a replacement. Not a good look. Did this quick and easy yet satisfying mod. Blacked out my chrome shifter and cup holder bezels: Looks much better imo and no more blinding glare on my drive home. Replaced the...

Replaced the speed sensor and camera today. The Camera Source camera is great. Came with OEM emblem (extra). Not the cheapest solution out but cheaper than. OEM and saved like 15% using the F150 forum code. I think the resolution is improved over OEM and install was a breeze. Wheel speed...

Sorry @PorterW1111 no dice on that old number pad. I checked but already knew as at some point my garage started to accumulate too many old junk parts so I resolved to trash as much as can. Been a whirlwind for me and my boys round here lately. After dealer had my truck about a week and a...

Man I wish I would have known there was a need for it. I would have been glad to give it to you. I'll check this evening, but I'm pretty sure I chucked it. I'll let you know.

Recently had the window tint re-done by my tint shop in the best ceramic tint they have in hope to help the still sub-optimal A/C system out. 20% all around. Could not have my windshield done at that time because I needed to have a chip repaired before my guy would touch it. It’s since been...

Coolant flush and cooling system replacement went down last Friday. All is good. Mostly drama free job but turned out to be pretty time consuming because of all the stuff you have to get out of the way to yank the radiator out. Worst part was removing the lower radiator hose from the engine...
