I've been disappointed with rebuilt cv joints... I took them apart and they were the plunging tripod type on the inboard side vice the plunging ball type, testing them side by side, got more articulation out of the ball type... At least on my truck, owned since new, my inboards we're both...

Had to flatten (aka big hammer) a bit near spare and wrap with exhaust wrap... 1/4 inch all around clearance... Spare and leaf spring

The Icon springs also complicate the split rear exit as well at full droop.... But overall I am satisfied, both exit near factory location but with true dual exhaust...

The ADD Bump Stop Kit for Gen 1 Raptors is great piece of kit, like most it connects/braces both frame rails and adds a pair of Fox/King 2.5 inch bump stops BUT it also includes a brace that then ties it all together with the factory frame x-bracing, both fwd and aft. However, if you order a...

so latest update is the rods will ship from Manley end of this week or early next... then balance big end & little end of each rod... then off they go to Cody Dawson for crank balancing... DCR is still working the cam regrind... hopefully everything will start coming together in early to mid...

I just like having two sets, replace, then rebuild, if anyone has worn out shocks, can, will, take off your hands for reasonable price...

Same...

just ordered a complete set from Rock Auto, shipped very quickly

have not got on a trail yet, but a bunch of to and from work driving... if you have never driven a raptor with traction bars... omfg... where have you been all my life... there was the expected improvements, dead stop WOT launches 1-2 and 2-3 shifts... but was surprised at the brutality (in a...

no axle wrap! its awesome, that windup and release feeling at WOT shifts is gone...

I also own a 03 cobra and in that world what Raptor peeps call a CAI is a RAI, bit of a misnomer really, little ram airing going on, but in essence big filter under the hood sucking under hood hot air... CAI in the cobra world is reserved for intakes that suck air from outside of the engine bay...

Apologies for the delay, finished on Saturday, work around House Sunday, small breather this morning before the madness starts...

LOL... tomorrow's project... should be a quick job... famous last words...

I currently use a SCT x4 with a tune from VMP. Have spoke with them a bit and plan is a remote startup tune and then have them dyno tune.

Lol... I'll have my oldest help me put something up on TikTok...

When I finally went to buy the Rogue Racing their site seemed shut down and no one was answering the phone, so I gave up for awhile...

Unboxing complete...

or more specifically, my Raptor...

balancing some pistons... Slow and steady... Update: Mission complete balancing pistons, pistons and wrist pin assemblies all 626.4 grams (+/- 0.02 grams). Target was to get them within 0.1 grams of each other. On average I had to remove 0.14 grams from six of the pistons. In any event, one...

Should be able to run VVT or worse case just a phase limiter... no interest in locked out for a N/A application. I will absolutely keep a build sheet and part numbers. I'll post periodically... this is not a cost effective build from a HP per $ perspective... but it will be fun to build and the...

Last night weighed all the pistons and wrist pins and matched lightest pistons with heaviest wrist pins and then weighed each as a set... all within 0.2 grams of each other, one piston/pin set will drive most of the grinding, talking with Diamond to see if they can find me a wrist pin close to...

So these came today....

Cams on their way to DCR for re-grind, parts are starting to trickle in (head studs so far), emphasis on trickle; Cody Dawson is working a set of heads for me, but a bunch of stuff is in production or awaiting drop shipment from the manufacturer (i.e. ARP main studs and Manley for connecting...

fully agree...
