    Anybody DIY their Mid-Travel Kits?

    you kind of have to choose what your favorite maintenance item is... Replacing IWEs, or Replacing boots. If you run the eliminators, you will get good at doing boots. If you dont, you'll get good at replacing IWEs. Or, spend the coin on RCV axles. Or be like me, go 2wd and just whiskey...

    New engine and build question

    i went with the 170 for the exact same reason. (having to stop and let the truck catch up when baja temps were into the triple digits) after a while, i started having issues with the tstat, replaced it twice, got better with each change, and got tired of checking the tstat being a prep item for...

    New engine and build question

    go look at my build thread. My motor, trans and install was damn near $50K ( yes it was a full build with all of the gucci stuff and a billet torque convertor/upgraded trans). Maybe mountune is a better experience, but if i have to do it again, my truck will have an LS running a standalone, or a...

    New engine and build question

    after lots of trial and error on my end, I'd probably recommend going with a higher GPM water pump and a 190 degree thermostat, or, I'd opt for an endurance racing validated 170 tstat. The commonly available 170s that ive tried ( and i tried all of them) , tend to get a bit "sticky" after a few...

    Zombiekiller's "Donkey" build up

    no leaks until maybe when i get started. All I'll say is that it will be a longer term project that will hopefully end in my dream prerunner. As for what LS, I'll pretty much go to the motor builder that I have in mind, Give them HP and Tq goals, along with my needs as far as durability, then...

    Zombiekiller's "Donkey" build up

    On the upside, My '21 F250 has been a fun adventure chariot for the time being. Leitner designs rack, iKamper tent, decked drawers, custom lockable fishing rod rack on the underside of the tent, Carli E-Click suspension (the full boat with Carli radius arms, swaybar, leafs, shackles, shock...

    Zombiekiller's "Donkey" build up

    Updates? Hmm. I have rebuilt my "awesome" "built" motor now 3 times. so there's that. The truck will carry the front tires for about 100 yards when i stomp it on pavement, but every time that the motor feels sorted, something else goes wrong with it. If it pops again, I'm going to an LS. I've...

    Raptor to Shelby F250

    import a truck from canada, have an importer swap the cluster and cruise. im pretty happy with my lariat tremor. I still miss the carli kit that i had on my 19 though. The 21+ has the tpms alert set at 70 psi for the rear wheels, which is incredibly annoying as 70 psi is way too much for...

    EXO / BAJA / Lands End

    an annual baja policy usually becomes a smart idea if youre heading down to baja 3 or more times in a year. The last one that i had was $1500 for the year with a declared value of 150K for my raptor, 75K for my super duty and trailer coverage ( as long as it stays connected to the super duty.)

    Raptor to Shelby F250

    well, i guess i better trade my diesel in for a gasser, my raptor is 2wd. I could drive a gasser with a supercharger, cam and heads. I wouldnt want to tow with it though.

    Forget about 37’s on a 35 truck , Who is going to be the first to stuff 39‘s on a 37 truck?

    all this talk about 39s. Whats it mean when your raptor rolls on 40s? :P

    Raptor to Shelby F250

    buy a lariat f250 and put a carli pintop kit on it. it'll be better than the roush truck, in about every way.

    Looking for King bypass 3.5 16s or 18s 5 valve or Fox in stock for sale

    let me know how it works out for you. the shackles create an eccentric arc which the traction bars, by design, prevent (they provide a constant arc to prevent spring wrap). the result is binding and about 3" LESS downtravel, i was shown this in SVC's shop, by them.

    GEN 2 Torque Arm v. Traction Bars

    the extended shackles will only cause binding with traction bars. those doofy shackles will rob a good 2-3" of travel and make the truck handle like dog crap.

    Looking for King bypass 3.5 16s or 18s 5 valve or Fox in stock for sale

    not sure why you'd run extended shackles, but i'd ask whoever youre buying the bedrack through. You might have good luck with camburg or sdhq.

    Replaced phasers twice now blown motor ?

    depends on what they feel they can reuse. make sure they dont try to reuse any of the timing parts, including the guides.

    GEN 2 Borne Off-Road Raptor Snorkel R&D Thread

    anything larger than a 37 requires aftermarket body panels. Anything 40" requires a one-piece front end, as the 40s will hit the back of the headlights at full bump. anything north of a 37 also requires relocating the washer bottle and some wiring.

    Replaced phasers twice now blown motor ?

    the 750x config is a 3.5 that will put down 750 to the wheels with the appropriate fueling upgrades and garrett powermax turbos. Punching it out to a 4.2 will add another 100-150 whp depending on who is tuning it. If you go top mount turbos, it will put out quite a bit more. Being realistic...

    Replaced phasers twice now blown motor ?

    What I paid would not be an accurate representation of what it costs. I'd say talk to ryan and have him build you a quote.

    GEN 2 18 Months of Raptor Ownership, summized.

    i dont think that anyone could justify what my "break even" price would be. :buttkick:its cool, i have no intention of selling it.

    GEN 2 Borne Off-Road Raptor Snorkel R&D Thread

    the challenge for me is that is crosses over under the crash bar and at the top of the wheel well. for those of us running 39s or 40s, that crossover pipe will get crunched at full bump. I love the idea, and im sure that there isnt a better way to do it, but it just wont work for the...

    F150 STOP SALE

    something similar happened in late 2017. none of the 17s could be sold until a few rivets were replaced. 17s sat for 6 weeks, while the 18s could be sold.

    Used market remains strong

    totally dude, totally.

    Used market remains strong

    I expect itll be around 20mpg with the tires if I dont regear it. the 10 speed is a big upgrade from the 6spd trucks that got worse mileage.
