@Keith88 Love your handle, "It's still a Fiat" but now Stellantis, sounds like an alien planet from a video game ! I guess the fact they could even make the TRX as a fiat was pretty cool see where they go now
@jessie5150 just drove it approx 40 miles and hit every bump as hard as I could, no clunking and super smooth over spots that would have slammed me before, apparently the shocks were pretty bad and the top perch way stiff, feels great now just mad I didn't do it a year ago ! Even turned off the...
@jessie5150 just drove it home from the shop yesterday and will drive more today and see how they do. It was harsh off road even in the deep sand with top perch and probably in need of rebuild OEM stuff, hoping for smoother ride with these for sure
@The Car Stereo Company I would say the drop in front without changing anything on the new 3.0s would be mid perch for sure, taking all the angles and mounting locations into my super computer angulator figulator ! A WAG that is !
@The Car Stereo Company @Gryphon313 @jp4lsu @Irregular F150 @jessie5150 Heres some shots of the new stance, little over 1 inch down in front with the 3.0 Icons, will they settle a little more over the next few weeks ? I like the stance, up a tiny bit in back now, After a year and a half my wife...
I will check up on that, they are new from Tasca last set of axles had them put on so hope they are working. Good ideas, I'll put a text to myself and try to remember pics of everything, it's the last big part of the bellows on the boot, inner boot, rubbing on itself. "kissing" like some of the...
Will do, it's in the shop for the shocks and my guy got the flu ! don't visit san diego, seems like everyone here has it ! Have seen those dorman split boots, I'll order right away since it looks like my brand new one has rubbed itself about half way thru already, about 100 miles
@The Car Stereo Company I have been looking for that boot to keep the first axles I took off as spares and no idea how to find one. Rock auto has a listing of a company but always says out of stock. Those axles took a pounding in Sedona before the boot finally tore after a year and a few trips...
@The Car Stereo Company @Gryphon313 @Irregular F150 Again thanks for the info. I will know in the next few days how much lower the Icons are set. That top perch is up at least 1 3/4 - 2 inches from bottom setting, so at the LCA gotta raise it at least 3 inches. Whoever did that on my truck must...
Thanks @jp4lsu I am so done with eating cv boots, good to know but so strange how many miles on the (possibly originals, second owner soooo? ) I think the ones I just put in have been on a shelf for 10 years and are just old rubber or new and just s****t rubber !! Like another here said, "2022...
@jp4lsu @Irregular F150 Doing the same on axles and just got Icon 3.0 fronts. My problem is when I bought my 2013 it was on the highest perch, can anyone tell me what stock is ? I drove it for a year no prob then when a CV boot went I tried "Precision axles " supposed to be better at higher...
@NEOGARAGE sorry for the late reply, I was able to order the Icons in stock on the ninth after I messaged you, then came down with the flu. Anyway I just wanted to get back to you. Thanks for getting back
Look at all that stuff in there, I thought raptors were only for hauling ass around !
NOT, sometimes I have to put a 12 pack in there, once my wife wanted to put a plant from home depot, I told her you know the seats fold down in your Edge
Welcome
I lurked on here like you said for about a year, until I really needed help and this group is amazing. Welcome and great trucks, watch out, the wife will want the new one and YOU get the #handmedowntruck♀️♂️
@John M BUNMAN It was actually a "Bad year" for snow, my buddy lives there and he said bring some snow with you. For a Socal boy born in Chula Vista looked like whiteout to me ! The training center was one run open for a couple skiers, bobsled run was dry. Had to do a 100 point turn to park the...
Did Park city then home through Bryce and Zion, through that tunnel with my Rig at 12 1/2 feet ! I was praying for no bumps in the middle !! This trip is the reason I tow the raptor now, not too many valet spots available at those resorts
Maybe not for this thread but this truck recently...
Great thanks, I think I'll just mount it pretty far out in front of the hood even with that insulation that sand will get everywhere. Even though to go out in the sand and be too worried about scratching it is something I worry less and less about with every trip ! Not a hill queen as we say...
@yoopercharged I like the whip on the front, is that the OHV rules in MI ? I been noticing alot from there mounted that way, I think coming over a dune in Glamis it would be much more visible that way, and seen faster by oncoming buggies or trucks. Can you tell me which whip and is that the good...
one night around the campfire at Glamis a gunship hovered over the bombing range there on hwy 78.
maybe 1 1/2 - 2 miles away, I don't know how far away it is, but they shot up something with tracer rounds for about 20 minutes, most bad"""s thing we ever saw out there, no idea what that practice...
@OffroadAlliance.com looking for gen 1 fox 3.0 fronts, adjustable, your site says 20-24 weeks and another vendor saying they can get them in 2 weeks . I was told here in san diego same, 4-5 months at best. They can get Icon, which tells me everyone wants fox or they wouldn't be sold out. Your...
@NEOGARAGE I'll go on your site and order if your sure on the 2 weeks, got burned getting front axles from Tasca when they said they had em then sent me f150 non-raptor waiting on my refund now
Thanks
