I’m a fan. My only complaint is that if I roll from a road while in 4WD and into a parking lot that is paved, the transfer case takes some time to fully disconnect the axles. So turning into a gas station during a snowstorm gets ugly sometimes. I am solving that by dropping in a TOD 4A...

TBH I have not had the best luck with these CVs. I went through like 5 sets of IWEs, replacing pretty much everything surrounding the IWE... thinking surely the brand new CVs couldn’t be the issue? well... pretty sure they are. :) I just keep the IWEs locked now... but my guess is that they...

the rear leafs are swapped to OEM Gen 1. I like the plush ride of the OEM spring rates and plan to get some traction bars to help with wheel hop. I had to get the blocks because the rear just dropped in ride height so much with the stock blocks on! I am open to being convinced to upgrade to...

I mean... it is Raptor stuff after all :D

So back on topic... I replaced all of the front brake hardlines on the truck this weekend. Added some stainless steel braided brake lines, upgraded to some beefier UCAs, and threw on some caliper covers for some flash. haters going to hate but I’m digging the look of the covers tucked behind...

Hurt people hurt people. Who hurt you brother? you can PM me if you need a friend...

The short answer is that it's a pretty heavy modification. All of the bodywork is from Fiberwerx. They sell a "Gen 2 Conversion Kit" for 04-14 F150s, which primarily accommodates the slight dimensional changes. For the bedsides, Gen 1 Raptors are about 2" taller than the Gen 2's. The front clip...

I personally wouldn’t touch the exterior or mess with the Fiberglass panels at all. It’s a pretty involved process and requires a lot of work to accomplish. Plus the 33s would look out of place. Most of the fiberglass kits available have large arches for bigger tires. Even my 35s looked tiny and...

There’s a guy on Instagram that has a sweet build on a 2010 F150 @notafuckinraptor eventually, this truck might just evolve into a full blown prerunner too... who knows! #goals slow and steady progress for me... I can only do so much work from my driveway on the weekends. ;) this has also...

So the front grill is OEM but all of the glass is from Fiberwerx. I am a bit restricted in that regard as I can only really purchase what’s available, since I’m not doing any serious custom fabrication on the panels or molding any fiberglass on my own. They offer Gen 1 glass that would’ve just...

I have some new, wider glass coming in for the front fenders and bedsides, which will need some new paint. Still undecided on the final color. The truck is currently white plastidip. The weather cooled off before I could finish up the exterior. The front end needs some extra attention to...

The swap on Gen 1 is incredibly straightforward. Nearly every “non-Raptor specific” piece is compatible with the truck. Nothing fancy required so long as you get all the same OEM components (tie rod, UCA, LCA, shocks, brackets, brake lines). Gen 2 and beyond is a different story as there’s a lot...

pretty sure this is my thread and your crappy attitude is not the topic. You can take it somewhere else. Thanks :)

I’ve also managed to recoup most of my costs whenever I’m selling the original pieces as well. So that’s something that I’m not factoring into the cost equation.

Thanks. My goal was to build a truck that could out Perform a factory Raptor. I just happened to get great deals on OEM components along the way. All in, including the truck, I’m only at about 35k. I would like to upgrade to the big leagues with a mid travel suspension kit in the near future...

Hi all, New to the forum and wanted to introduce myself with a thought provoking question: “what makes a Raptor?” Is it the suspension? The stance? The engines? The cool orange lights that everyone and their grandmothers have on their Taurus’ now? Or is it just about sending a message to the...

There are two models of clock springs for 2017+. One for “heated” wheels and one without. My guess is that the two blank pin slots are because the clock springs you reference are the non heated wheels. The correct clock spring would probably solve your issue of not having enough pins. I’m...
