    So cal runs

    Checking in for the 25th, Monday. Anyone still want to meet up? Any ideas on where to go? I’m willing to drive a bit too if there’s a great spot outside of the high desert.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I got finished drilling the required holes and was locking up the dash mount when I realized this too. I installed my RAM mount before finishing the install. IMO that should be discussed in the paper instructions. No big deal either way, but would be nice to know, especially if you’re like me...

    I didn’t get a sticker either. Haha. Ordered mine 2 weeks back and installed last weekend.

    Installed my KHC bed supports today, had to cut away a little in my drop in liner to fit better.

    ICON 198501 middle spring set with hardware.

    It’s just the extra leaf that is included with the full leaf pack. Didn’t feel right to sell it, but I need to test out my bottle opener on my bumper so beer was the next best option!

    ICON 198501 middle spring set with hardware.

    Hey there, I’m not sure if anyone can use these. I installed the ICON 95220 leaf pack about a week ago. I won’t be running anything in the bed other than a single spare tire. I’m not interested in shipping but I’m in So Cal and would be happy to meet up. I don’t want cash but I’ll trade for a...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Installed my SS brake lines from Freedom Motorsports this afternoon. Thanks again @Rick@FreedomMotorsports for the sizing recommendation. At full droop I still have plenty of line left, the OEM lines got really tight after the ICON leafs were installed.

    So cal runs

    No harm here. I just want to meet up and try out the new suspension. I’ve been working out alignment issues but I think I’ll have it figured out by this weekend. I purchased the HD alignment cams with the 10.9 grade hardware. Looking forward to tagging along wherever we end up.

    So cal runs

    I’m up for anything, just wanted to share the trail as an idea. But whatever works for the 25th, count me in.

    So cal runs

    Full disclosure, I have a 2wd with a gen 1 swap and 4.10 gears. I’ve been following the trail conditions though and it looks like 2wd won’t have any issue. Hope that doesn’t turn anyone away.

    So cal runs

    Would anyone be up to meet on Monday the 25th? I know it’s a holiday but a trip out to the desert might be fun. Just finished installing my ICON leafs and am buttoning up my front bump stop kit this weekend. Maybe Cleghorn fire road trail? It starts off the 15 freeway at cleghorn exit and ends...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I purchased the 2” bumps from morris4x4. But purchased the bolt on bump stop kit from forged off-road. I purchased through @Rick@FreedomMotorsports and he got the details sorted out. Amazing customer service.

    1 Year Update: Gen 2 shocks on Gen 1

    I’m running Gen 2 rears on my gen 1. About 9,000 total miles including 150-200 off road miles. No problems so far. No leaks either.

    General tailgate question

    Easy to find, but pricey for what it is. I’ve been looking for an Oxford white and a complete tailgate without damage is anywhere from $1900-$2400.

    ICON 95220 leaf install questions / tips

    Before I started the left install I did consider dropping the tank, but I had already purchased a 5 pack of bimetal sawsall blades so I gave it a go with those. After burning through 2 brand new blades and only cutting a 1/16” cut in the bolt, I turned to my cutoff wheel and ripped through the...

    ICON 95220 leaf install questions / tips

    I also ran into a sawsall blade issue too. I ended up using a 4 1/2” cutoff wheel and was SUPER careful around the gas tank. As for the exhaust, I cut my pipe in front of the axle. For the torque, I did 160 at the shackle and 200 at the front mount (as high as my torque wrench went). So far so...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    While I don’t have a dog in the fight for Gen 1 or Gen 2... (xlt with a gen 1 swap), I do have an update to share! Forged Offroad front bump stop kit with fox 2” bumps. Going to install this week and going to figure out pressure for daily driving (I’ve been told 70 psi is a great place to...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    In the trash.... haha I joke. Really though it looks so much nicer without a bulky plate hanging off it. I’m going to paint it this week and use some self tappers on the main tube to hold the plate to it. I purchased a plate mount led bar to light up the plate that I’ll wire into the OEM wiring.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Sorry man, I am going back to him in August for a front bumper. I’ll see if I can get some details measurements for that bumper when we put it together. I’ll be happy to share.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I’m sorry I don’t. A friend of mine (much more talented than I with a mig welder) put it together step by step. If you live close to So Cal though I can share his info. He said he’d build these for under $400.

    Opinions on Forged Offroad shock rebuild

    They do great work! Lots of email communication through email every step of the way. They offered great valving advice and the shocks ride better than new now with the rebuild and flutter stack.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    So far no major issues with visibility. I mainly use it for maps at the moment but the RAM arm has balls on either end of the post so it’s really adjustable.
