Everything on the truck looks amazing and it sounds like you guys had a good time. It's funny, everyone on here loves it when Corey comes and does his thing, and all he ever talks about when he gets back is all your guys gun collections.
Next time I'm coming, I love OR.

We all seem to have common interests in things that go boom! If you and Corey make it back up to Oregon, we will have to make time for a range trip. Kat and I have a couple of guest rooms...

Hell ya,

I'm thinking about doing an RV trip next summer up the coast. Pulling the Raptor of course.

Oh hell yeah!! Northern Cali and Southern Oregon are a blast with a 4X. Sand dunes, desert trails, mountain trails, you name it, there is an abundance of opportunities. Followed by a quick trip to Eastern Oregon and the ranch...

A note of caution for those of you thinking about installing the Fox 3" front shocks "and" the Ford Racing front skid plate. The longer side plates on the FR skid plate will conflict with the mounting location of the remote shock reservoirs. We tried to work around this conflict with less than desirable results (OK, I really ****** this one up :banghead: ). So, I switched back to the factory skid plate while I work out a new mounting bracket for the remote reservoirs.

Installed the front and rear alignment cams this morning. Turns out the slot in the alignment cam face is slightly shorter than the slot in the Raptor frame. This means you lose a very slight amount (less than 1/2 degree of camber) of adjust ability when you install the cam kits.

No big deal with shocks in the stock or mid height settings. However, with shocks in the top setting, this may be an issue.

Helluva build. Love all the attention to detail. Very inspiring. RPG rules! Where did you get the alignment cams? I have some coming from ADD. I was intending on running my 3.0's to a level equivalent to top perch, so now I am questioning that it's possible.

It's possible and done quite often. You just won't be able to get an ideal alignment out of the configuration. It will be close enough that you should not have any significant tire or handling issues.

I'm not sure if there is another manufacturer of the cams that might have a bit more adjustably in them. That's something I will be exploring.

Time for a little fun diversion from the typical build stuff. Party on the lawn with the Raptor out front (with new hood and roof paint) and the Viper Club in full attendance. The ROE supercharger puts down over 1,200 hp "before" the NOS kicks in!

Wow! That is some crazy power to weight ratio. Is that the ZR4 laser shifter? Does it protect adequately mounted in those locations? I have the Passport 9500ix so the ZR4 is appealing due to its seamless integration. Looking at Blinder as well
