The truck is heading back to Outlaw and then to Vegas for sema next week. It is going to be in the KMC booth.
KMC sent me these wheels last week, ran them in Baja and I guess they are machining a new set to go on it this week. I really liked these. No idea what the new ones will look like. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1414541249.509561.jpg

Hey bud. Couple questions for yeah.
1 - why did you change out the brake fluid reservoir?

2 - you mentioned that your PS pump went while in Mexico. How many mines where on the stock pump? I see you have the stock reservoir, is the whole steering system stock?

1) Because of the engine cage they had to relocate them. The master cylinder and brake booster are stock. Stock front calipers and wilwood rear calipers. The ABS module has also been removed.
There was an air bubble somewhere in the line we just couldn't get rid of by pumping the brake pedal and bleeding them. We had to hook a pressure bleeder to the system to get the air out.

2) The truck has about 40k on it right now. The PS pump was the original. I think I am on my third rack.
Yes the steering system is stock. Would love to put a better system on it. The problem is $$$$. There is no reasonable way to do it. If I can figure out a way to change the system I would be able to run 39's.
For now we will keep the stock rack, alpha 1 tie rods and switching to a Howe pump.

Thanks for the reply. Anytime I see awesome builds like this I try to see if there are little upgrades that I can add to what I consider my stock raptor (in comparison, lol).

Definitely interested in the mounting bracket for the Howe pump that you fab up. If outlaw has one, they may want to consider making a few of them. I know a few guys who are tired of the pumps going out and want to upgrade. But also know the mount for the pump is pretty involved (so we've read).
