    IWE Vacuum Hose Replacement

    Yes those type of fittings, but cheaper tubing. I got 100 ft because I was doing both my trucks but you can get 25 and 50 ft rolls of the same stuff. I did all my lines in about an hour. That included me using the black plastic wire managers that went over the old lines. Figured they couldn't...

    IWE Vacuum Hose Replacement

    I used 1/4" black irrigation tubing from home depot to replace all my iwe lines. It's thicker, stronger, but more flexible. Just need vacuum fittings from auto parts store to complete install. Very easy and under $30 all in to replace all the lines. Have done both my gen1 and my 2011 expedition...

    GEN 1 Lift Shackles with Add a Leaf Setup

    Unfortunately shorty after gathering everything I needed I started having trans issues, which took priority. I ended up throwing the lift shackles on one day just to level it out a little, which it definitely did. Definitely doesn't look as stupid with weight in it now either. But trying to fix...

    Any other Raptor work trucks?

    I own a pool repair and service company. Use my Gen1 daily for work and personal. Definitely makes sales allot easier. Customers comment and compliment the truck all the time. I've found the nicer the vehicle the better the closing rate. I've had a pallet of vermiculate(pool floor material)...

    Transfer case or trans sounds?

    Lines are very easy Iwes on the other hand. If your not comfortable doing like your front shocks, you probably would want to have someone else do your iwes. Because you need take the axel out of the hubs. Iwes are between axel and hub assembly. H

    Transmission thermostat/potential trans issue

    So my trucks got about 230k. Trans has 100k. Was replaced at 50k, and I beat the **** out of it for 50k while neglecting my trans service. Honestly, it was the one fluid I didn't change upon purchase, and the trans ran so cool and shifted so damn good I overlooked it until it was too late. Got a...

    Transfer case or trans sounds?

    I did, and it was iwe noise, on both trucks. While replacing iwes and coil springs on the raptor I noticed passenger side iwe line (hard line) was broken. So replaced both iwes, and all the hard lines(with 1/4inch vinyl irrigation tubing, cheap vacuum fittings) and noise has completely gone...

    Transmission Valve body

    So no issues? I just purchased a used valve body that has the same hole. Was wondering if I needed to use the different trans filter that would fit into it, or the standard one, with one tube. Plan to install the regular filter with one tube at the moment, hoping it doesn't cause any problems.

    Dorman Lead Frame and shift solenoid swap

    How did you end up making out? Having valve body/solenoid/lead frame issues myself at the moment. From my research I'm leaning more towards solenoids and valve body damage.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Did you custom make all those under carriage panels? Or did you buy them somewhere? I'm assuming you made them since you made that mistake flap! Lol Looks awesome!

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    The limit straps definitely soften the blow of coming to end of droop. They are deff not elastic or stretchy, but they deff do stretch. Saposedly they stretch 1" per foot of strap. However I've also read some manufactures actually take that into account and give you a strap slightly smaller...

    Gen2 shocks/springs/struts non-livewire Roush TAKEOFFS ***VERY LOW MILES****

    Gen2 shocks/springs/struts non-livewire Roush TAKEOFFS ***VERY LOW MILES****

    *****! I'm over here running 37x13.5s ridge grapplers on stock rims. Luckily the Gen2 shocks and springs reduce up travel by roughly an inch! No worries of blowing off these fenders!!! Lol

    Gen2 shocks/springs/struts non-livewire Roush TAKEOFFS ***VERY LOW MILES****

    Yea that kits a good option for someone that isn't able or interested in replacing buckets, and wants a bolt on front shock. I was leaning this way myself, as at first I was looking for cheap beat up Gen2s that would need to be rebuilt anyways. However the Gen2s I found had no miles on them and...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    So about 2000 miles ago I added some low budget limit straps to my front end. Since my drivers side gen1 spring on my Gen2 shocks snapped, I threw on the Gen2 springs. Really liked the added height, ride was pretty damn good, except over bigger or multiple bumps, especially more so at higher...

    Gen2 shocks/springs/struts non-livewire Roush TAKEOFFS ***VERY LOW MILES****

    But them now. Once they run out of stock it may be another two years or more, if they ever make another batch.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Saw it on an f150 forum pretty sure. Not this kit or filter specifically, but just the idea. Found this Derale kit as best economical option with decent reviews. Then found the biggest filter that would fit on it, which ended up being Unfortunately the info I found on the forum on the install...

    New turbo kit available

    Mid-mounted turbo kits can perform great as long as they are sized correctly. The kit is VERY moderately priced. Of course there would be additional costs like tuning as well as other things, but for the price this is not a bad option at all. I'd rock the shit out of this kit if I didn't have...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    So I did a trans service today. Been putting it off, as I've been very busy, and my trans has been running MINT with nice low temps. Up until yesterday. Threw a P0741 code. Lost my shit. As I'm very sure it's from my procrastination. None the less. After code threw I checked fluid level and...
