Finally got a gen 2, well.. a year ago

[pmariolo]

Last January 2021 took advantage of the low used prices and got a 2017 black screw 802a with 36k miles. As of now it just hit 50k been daily driving and doing a bunch of trips. Besides being a little wide getting every pin stripe possible in the western Washington its doing well here. No issues with it so far. Have a few things done to it:

Falken Wildpeak AT3w
came with a fog light kit, 4 rigids and 2 KCs
also had a cheap light bar I pull off, the rigid pods were brighter
RSI Smartcap
Go Fast Campers Superlite
Some Built Rite panels in the cab
Rugged Radios GMR45
Just stepped into the fridge game with a Dometic CFX45
Ecoflow river power supply
ARB dual compressor ordered just not here yet.
Jlt catch can

Looking to do suspension by the end of the year not all sure what I’m going with yet.

First photo is a bout a week after getting it, light bar was still on, then when getting the RSI and GFC, then just some other times on the trail.

Also have instagram where I post most about my truck and YouTube where I still suck at making videos haha both usernames are patrickmariolo

Re: the suspension - what are you looking to do? What about the truck do you find lacking i guess would be a good way to put it?

Only asking because it’s really easy to spend half a Raptor worth of money on suspension mods and there are some out there that won’t likely benefit you.

Well with the extra 250lbs on the bed I don’t get that chop or bounce that they get that much anymore but the rear is lacking, was probably gonna go icon option 2 or Deaver +3 HD. One day would like to go with the factory series shocks but for now going to do a collar, have ridden in geiser, Eibach and collar trucks, and didn’t much care for the springs for what I do. And going to do camburgs rear bump kit, hit the bumps more often now.

Well I was never a ford guy but when the raptor first came out I was pretty interested in them. But I was only 20 years old so took some years to be able to afford one haha.
