    Group Therapy: Airborne in Ohio // August 3rd - 6th

    Awesome, looking forward to meeting you west coast guys too. Been to Texas but that's as far west as we've gotten for events. It's going to be a good time. Bring some boots in case it rains or Joe gets to spinning tales! Famous last words, "if you hit it faster it will smooth out some!"

    Not sure but my wife and I are getting in early to do some specific shots with some of the participants. It's going to be a good time. Hope to see you there.

    GEN 1 Fox 2.5 part #

    Anyone know the part number for the Fox 2.5 front shock piston shaft? I just need the shaft as mine is scored. Already tried Fox and that was a waste of time. They don't want to sell anything to individuals and between work and the time difference I can never get a hold of anyone. Famous last...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Finaly took the time to install some bed lights. My wife is a commercial photographer and many times we find ourselves using cell phones or head lamps to find gear in the bed on photo shoots. Not anymore. Cheap too. I have $40 in it. Famous last words, "if you hit it faster it will smooth out...

    Just screwin around

    Looks like fun! A word of caution though. Doghnuts on any dry areas had the gen 1 power steering systems throwing fits. Not sure how well the electric system will be up to the task but something to be aware of. Glad you had a chance to get it dirty and make sure you rub it in your friends face...

    I wanna join the club

    Welcome. A search on cars.com or any other site that provides specific vehicle searches should show some options. If I were you I would consider being willing to travel outside of California to be able to get the best deal. Here are a couple. You can narrow by key word to not have to sort...

    GEN 1 Driveshaft slip yoke clunk fix

    I just ordered this grease per the recommendation of Chris at Freedom. I'll install and see how it goes. If it doesn't work I may be pursuing this instead. What you explain makes sense regarding positioning and everything. Do you think that the fitting will be safe from contact with the seal...

    GEN 2 Legit usage?

    TRR, Raptor X, and Raptoberfest are a blast. Missed TRR this year but been in the past. Great course and Trey does a great job prepping and putting on an awesome event. That's pretty cool you'll be in my neck of the woods. No good wheeling around here though. At least not good high speed stuff...
