    Road Racing the Raptor @ Mid America Ford and Team Shelby Nationals in Tulsa, OK

    Way cool-thanks for sharing. You and your Raptor held their own -not bad for big ole truck-on 37's no less.

    Houston we have a problem! (the bent frame thread)

    I thought the bent spindle guy was because of a big jump. But I cant say for sure. I can see some of the logic behind the change of angle thing, but I bet the weight distribution is 65%F, 35%R so the rear should have less initial weight to deal with. I just have a hard time accepting that 50%...

    Houston we have a problem! (the bent frame thread)

    I would like to pose a couple of questions. Something here just isn’t making sense. Why aren't we seeing any damage to the front suspension on any of these damaged trucks? With the some of the force figures I have seen calculated here (170,000#) it would seem that the front suspension would...

    Overland Journal & the Raptor - A match made in SVTOffroad heaven?

    Good find & good work. I have seen a little of their journal & I have always found it to well written.

    bump stop replacement

    That's my feelings exactly. While the hydo bumpstops look like a great idea, I have ask myself do I really need them? I might just go for the $100. reinforcement kit and call it good...

    HELP!- Transmission Pump Leak TSB

    Here's a thought- Ask the service manager what happens when all the fluid is gone? Ya think it's going to happen somewhere nice & green & cool? (like there are a lot of places like that 'tween Phoenix & El Paso) Would he want his family sitting along side the road waiting for some tow goon to...

    First car

    Then you deserve it-you paid half & worked for it. I bet your not gonna wrap it around a light pole doing something stupid. My point is most things unearned are not appreciated.

    First car

    My first car was a 1962 Corvair that I bought for $25.00, so you dont want to hear what I have to say about this. Yes, I am an old fart who thinks kids need to actually buy their first car. Every kid I have seen who didnt actually earn their first car ends up wrecking it.

    Need some advice?

    While I cant recomend any specific model, I would stay with one of the big three. Lincoln, Hobart or Miller. Stay away from the cheapy stuff, because you will be needing various consumables (tips, torch heads, etc.) sometimes the cheapy equipment isnt as standard as it should be & so the...

    City Doesn't Want Parked Pickups at Night

    Canyon Lake sounds like the sort of place that needs chains and locks put on the gates to keep the residents in, as people who like that much control scare the heck out of me.

    California Clean Idle Sticker Certifies You Can Do Exactly That

    Wow, I might have to move back! Look what I am missing.......Eh, maybe not.

    Houston we have a problem! (the bent frame thread)

    Ohhh, from what I had read other places, it was mentioned that "everyone" was fairly loaded down with fuel & such. Well, that shoots my theory about shock positioning all to hell.

    It must hurt them...

    Yeah, it happens. A lot depends on where you are. I was down in Sacramento this Saturday, you would have thought I was driving a parade float. Here in NV, I kind of blend in, not as much attention. This is not the vehicle to rob banks in. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the times I have been...

    Houston we have a problem! (the bent frame thread)

    What I think happened were a few different things, when taken separately don’t add up to much, but when you combine them frames bend. A lot of this is rehash from previous posts, but I have another theory-#3 shock positioning due to weight in the bed. 1. The shocks most likely got hot from the...

    Pics of a quick trip up Peavine Peak

    Damn dude, PM me if your going to be in my backyard again. Yeah, that road up Peavine is a blast.

    City Doesn't Want Parked Pickups at Night

    You are right, some HOAs are just plain stupid. Like the requirement to keep your garage door closed & other overly anal stuff like that. But you let them try to tell me I cant park my $50K Raptor in my driveway when my neighbor can park his rusted A@@ honda without any citations.

    Looking Back: 1996 Ford Adrenalin Concept Truck

    I had a '91 F350 CC Dually. That's back when only us racers had 'em. What was weird was that it had power windows up front, but the rear were manual roll -ups. Darn tough truck, ran the daylights out of it dragging a 40' 5th wheel.

    City Doesn't Want Parked Pickups at Night

    My HOA is fairly reasonable. I like it after living across the street from Sanford & son. Since all the houses here came with RV gates & big side yards, you have no excuse for leaving your RV (or junk boat / car) out front.

    CDL Blog Part 1: Why We’re Getting a Commercial Driver’s License

    If your not going to pull a giant 5th with your F350 you wont need a CL A. The only reason those guys are getting their CL A is because the trucks have such high GVCW & the point of their test is to max out the trucks.

    CDL Blog Part 1: Why We’re Getting a Commercial Driver’s License

    A lot of this comes from the RV biz. You would be surprised what some of those big 5th wheels weigh in at.

    Congrats. I wouldnt feel bad, the original dealer should have gone to bat for you right out of the gate.

    16" of lift for a Raptor..

    Man, this is great, it's everywhere over there. Great work 6.2

    16" of lift for a Raptor..

    I tend to be very accepting of someone trying something new or different; especially when it's their time & money, but this is so fucking stupid I am beyond words. It never ceases to amaze me how some dipshit in a barn thinks he knows more than actual engineers. Yeah, there are a lot of...

    Ram thinks a kit can compete with the Raptor. Hahahahahaha

    It is nice to see some intelligent discussion, specifically the costs involved. But, we all know there will be a few hard core Dodge guys will pop for the kit despite the cost. Good for them. IMHO this "kit" will go nowhere until its factory assembled and the cost becomes more reasonable. At...
