What? Knuckle, spindle...whatever you want to call it. Ford calls it a Steering Knuckle. It is one piece of cast steel. The *gusset* is mild steel and gets welded to the "knuckle" ...I know you know all of this but I was confused by what you wrote. And you were there so you saw the carnage...

I did know what you meant because there is a big difference between cast iron and cast steel. Like you, I'm not an expert but I do know that the process of welding cast iron and cast steel are very different assuming it's at all possible or advisable. If you meant to say cast steel, then please...

Well, its a good thing the spindles aren't cast iron then.

I do. And as such I am doing my best to minimize weak links. The spindles are a weak point and if one of them breaks at best you're going to destroy a good portion of your suspension and fender...at worst you will lose complete control of the truck. And die.

New spindles are coming with the gussets already welded on by SDHQ

Ok so new spindles with TIG welded SDHQ gussets are en route. I also upgraded to the SDHQ tie rods with double shear spindle mount. I think this will be one hell of a heavy duty solution for the Raptor's steering components and IMO a necessity if you're going to off-road hard. I will plan to do...

I'm guessing it will sound kind of tinny. Even the MBRP turndown (no resonator) sounds a little tinny at high RPMs.

~$350 rings a bell

I was thinking about doing this as well. I might have a go at it this afternoon as a matter of fact. I will let you know.

If you remove the seat from the truck you can take the seat bottom off and have a go at it. You just need to remove the leather cover and you can access the heating pad. The only complication you might run in to is the heating pad is glued to the foam seat cushion. It might be tough to remove...

The heating element burned out. Happened to my 2010 twice. It recognizes the short and shuts off.

E komo mai :crazy:

Hey I know that truck on the product page! Let me know when my royalty check is in the mail...

I'm sure we will be sure to make Kellen's life a living hell by the end of this

Just weld some threads on a real 50 cal bullet. That's what I call tamper proof. Go ahead, try and steal it

approved

Oooh engraving. FRF anyone? :)

make it so it doesn't overhang the base. being smaller than an actual 50 cal will be far less noticeable than even the slightest overhang.

I'll get in too, f-it.

i hardly ever LOL when i post "LOL". but you sir, made me LOL. And I think you just came up with a great idea for a new thread. We can just have a thread dedicated to seeking out posts made by others that we can rewrite out of context! :tizzle:
