    I did put the oem projectors on pretty quick after I bought it in 2014. Those old halogens are pretty lacking. I have a couple light bars behind the grill and live pretty much in the middle of nowhere so they get used alot.

    It is Bullet Liner but basically the same stuff. I did the front, fender flares, rockers panels, wheel wells back in maybe 2016. It has held up pretty decent. This truck is 99% on back roads so the gravel just destroys everything.

    LOL my apologies, not sure what I was thinking. I am religious with oil changes every 6k miles, no one touches it but me. Mechanically or driving. I put kings on at the 100k mark, rebuilt them once because I figured they must need it. They didnt. Second set of deavers. Rebuilt the rear diff...

    Bullet Bed Liners-Anyone heard of them or have it done?

    It has held up great over 6 years I believe.

    Bullet Bed Liners-Anyone heard of them or have it done?

    I sprayed the front grill and bumper, wheel wells and rocker panels of my gen 1 years ago with bullet liner. My problems were more with the installer than with the product. Its a real nice clean looking liner.

    Rooftop Tent anyone?

    Damn rights it is! Tailgater model. I gotta get my smoke on in the backcountry! I have two auxiliary batteries running an ARB zero fridge so power is not an issue.

    I run an Ikamper on my Colorado diesel, absolutely love it. I haven’t put it on my Raptor, probably won’t.

    Hit 413,500km and lost a few gears in the transmission. Put a ford reman in, unlimited miles/2year warranty. Alot better than the old 2 year/40k it used to be.

    Still a fair bit behind Ogdobber, still no complaints. Just rebuilt all four Kings for the first time. At least 200,000km on them. Changed the spark plugs for the second time as well. Other than that its just been general maintenance. Should be good for another 400k

    The guys that I dealt with claimed it would not be cost effective to arch them. I think the deavers are just too soft for guys that run the trucks hard. I would be surprised if I got 100,000km out of each set.

    Not sure who they actually used as I went through Hydraco in Medicine Hat. 403-526-2244. John is the guy that handled it all. I got them to add a leaf on one side to take care of the dreaded lean I always seem to get with the deavers. I haven’t got in to pick them up yet, but I am sure they will...

    I had a company make me a set of leaf springs similar to the deavers. I believe they got them made in edmonton. I have gone through two sets of deavers so I got them to make them a bit heavier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Studded snows

    Yeah the only problem I found was with the amount of gravel I drive, was kind of a waste to wear them out so fast.

    Rear differential noise

    You can source a rebuild kit directly from ford, or pull it apart and get the numbers off the bearings and source them locally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Haha yeah its in km but still all original except I rebuilt the rear diff 100k ago, put kings on at 160k, other than replacing the spherical bearings on them I havent had to do much else besides regular maintenance. Solid truck
