Good afternoon forum, the non profit I’m involved with is hosting another public land clean up this July 23rd off Hodge rd exit/15 freeway about 5 miles west of Barstow CA. Event is from 8pm-11pm and dinner/raffle will be included for all who participate. Please see flyer below, any questions...
Finally had time to lost the parts I replaced / didn’t use from 2021. All items located in So Cal 92392 but willing to ship if needed. Please see below:
1. Baja Designs XL Racer Edition, Pair with snap on covers and complete wiring/switch kit. Purchased new in 2020, turned on maybe a total of...
Kenda Klever R/T 37s, great price, $300ish per tire, quite on road and amazing tread life. Started at 19/32s and 2,800 miles later still at 19/32”. Daily driven and 90% street, 10% dirt.
You should hop onto an f150 (non raptor) forum and post them there, someone with a new body f150 looking to make the swap would be happy to have them. Finding Gen 1 takeoffs when I did my swap was next to impossible (unless I paid double of what fiberglass cost) to find secondhand so I ended up...
I probably just got a bad set of ko2s, I wonder if there’s a way to track that by manufacture date? Maybe the compound used in my run was subpar? Either way spending $1400 for a set of tires that didn’t last more than 2 years (at that time I was commuting) left a bad taste in my mouth.
Speed rating and 37s don’t exactly go together. Haha. I think I could get it up to 90 going downhill with a tailwind.
(3.7 v6 f150, not a true 6.2 Gen 1)
On the Raptor they come with 315s you’re correct. But those in the photo are 35x12.50r17 next to grabber 35x12.50r17. BFG isn’t my first, second or third choice when it comes to tires. Ha
They were MUCH cheaper when I purchased late last year, I guess everything has gone up since then. I ran KO2 for a while but barely got 36k out of them before they were around 4/32”. Maybe I got a bad batch but I was unimpressed with the KO2. I had Grabber ATX for my last set and they were...
Did a tire rotation today, Kendas are wearing amazing for the size/tread pattern. Purchased new with 19/32” and just under 4,000 miles (70% city/30% freeway) later they’re measuring at 18/32”. At this rate I’ll get 40k miles easy out of these tires. Very happy with the tire purchase, they’re...

This is similar to what I’m running, same company. Mine just doesn’t have the carbon...
Finally installed my take on the Gen 03 bedside graphics. Rappy Garphics did a great job with font and 2 tone colors.

Photos below, CD stands for Clean - Dezert, I non profit I’m involved in that does public land cleanups 2-3 times per year.
Not your exact situation, but I just installed McNeil Racing fiberglass bedsides on my truck. Removed bed, drilled spotwelds, did a bit of metal trimming to get bodylines all lined up, reinstalled fiberglass with SS nuts/bolts. Project took 7-8 hours start to finish. Most of the time is spent...

This is what I use. I have 37x12.50 tires and it’ll do all four after an air down without issue. Relatively quiet too for what it is. Fits nicely under the back seats in included bag.
Ha, no car shows for me. Maybe I will leave it, I just want to knock it down a little to match the rest of the truck. I have a full paint correction setup and did my other panels last summer.
Fun fact, supertech oil is made to the same specs as Mobil 1. It’s also made at the same factory. Project Farm (youtube) had the oil tested and both oils came back as the exact same. I personally use Castrol Magnatec but honestly as long as you’re checking oil ratings, it really doesn’t matter.
Great shots! We were just there last fall. Cool hike up to the arch with the kids. Also found my wife’s favorite rock on the drive into arches NP in the second pic, not sure why though.
