    Raptor Convert - Gen 3

    That change from 34MM offset to 0 offset is not gonna miss the inside of the fender on hard compression?

    OBX Raptor Headers

    Do the downstream O2 sensors work the same if there's no converter in front of them?

    Rear up travel.

    We set up the limit straps on the Tacoma by bolting the deavers onto a tube (to represent the axle), then using a floor jack under the tube to determine when the spring's resistance began. In other words, we eliminated the weight of the axle, then measured where the springs started flexing (and...

    Rear up travel.

    Doesn't it seem like the limit straps on a leaf spring suspension should be located at 45° behind the axle, instead of directly above it, like everybody does? That way it limits both driveshaft plunge & spring droop.

    FP Baja raptors on 35s

    The OEM 315 70R17 isn't 35" anyway. And whats with the hideous graphics? Was it designed by a committee?

    Rear up travel.

    How much axle plunge did you measure? My Tacoma was 2wd, (no transfer case to shorten the driveshaft), and we were able to keep the one-piece custom shaft safe by using limit straps and a safety loop.

    Rear up travel.

    Spring Under leaf packs are available through Deaver Springs; I don't know how well they work on a Raptor but the setup I had on a caged Tacoma worked beautifully. Just a big old "Cush-Monster" feeling. The geometry is very different than stock; the pack is longer, heavier, and has more arch...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    The brake lines have clips both on top of the bucket, as well as inside & outside of the frame; got lucky and didn't snap the plastic clips.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Getting ready to cut the D-side coil bucket and swap in the KHC Gen 2 bucket. Had to cut all those plastic push-on pieces, unbolt the ABS unit bracket (10mm socket), unplug the big electric plug, (just flip the grey lever up), and secure the brake lines away from the stock bucket. That's a...

    So it's a dual exhaust with a tip on both sides of the truck?

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Is that the original exhaust tip? Mine has dual tips that dump behind the tire.

    Just don't ask how he makes it "glossy"

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    That's the first prototype. It's clearly a lot of hours & money, but when it's finished my Huskies can be off leash anytime.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Each of the 130-ish fence brackets use a 4' & 1' tube, 3 steel tabs, 3 hog rings, 3 self-tapping screws, and will support 3 strands,of the stainless steel cable to keep the dogs in.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I've decided to register it inop and canceled the insurance for now. There's about 5 more important projects right now, including the current project: turning 800' of 3/4" tubing & 3600' of 1/8" stranded cable into 130 brackets to keep my dogs from climbing out of the 5' chain link. But it's...

    We lost a Raptor R today. RIP

    Is this guy a tu rd? Clearly. Does he sell clapped out sh itboxes? Yes. But..... which bank is financing his customers? Is there really that much inbreeding/meeth dealing /toothless/IQ challenged buyers out there?

    Lets answer the question Which suspension upgrade is right for me?

    From watching the SDI E-click review on Keep it Dirty offroad, it seems to be the optimum suspension setup going forward. I think anyone who has had to endure the external bypass valve clicking on Kings (on a non-race vehicle), is kinda over it. My Gen 1 is getting the coil bucket conversion...

    Roof Spoiler

    You can stuff backup lights, an extra camera, maybe even ammo up there?

    Wilwood Aero 6 Brake Kit at Hammer Performance

    That suggestion wasn't from an engineer on the ground floor, it was from a corporate lawyer. In the penthouse office.
