Hock's 2012 Raptor Build

[E63]

DAm 4 months? Shit. I had a set on my first Raptor they were quieter than the stock ones

Yeah my son was drive coming back from Vegas the day after the night run and caught a sharp rock, anyway 4 month national B/O. I am surprised to hear you think that the KM2s are quieter than the stock BFG TAs which are fantastic street tires. I have used those for over 10 years on Suburbans, Tahoe and a couple thousand on the Raptor. Got 50K miles on the last set for the Burb. Anyway it was a noticeable difference when I switched to the KM2s. I am thinking you must not have switched from the BFG TA

Well they were never off road so tehy were still nice and flat no gouges.
Same with he BFGs on the first Raptor never off road.

So, new brakes installed, extra exhaust hanger installed. Found 100% frozen caliper slide. I had no symptoms, no pulling, no roughness all I had was a little bit low pedal but, I have drove this hard and the rears were down quite a lot. My guess is from the 2 times getting stuck in the water and not enough slide grease install form the factory.

Pin looks a little worn. Did you get it cleaned up and slathered with some antiseize?

All EBC stuff, well the rear rotors tehy sent me are wrong. so, stock for now till i get the new ones

So, I did a redesign of my rear rack system since I want it to be as easy as it can be to get the stuff out from the back. After the pre run I was not happy with having to get in the back to get shit. Just felt so difficult to get things... Everything was set as close as possible to the front of the truck
Before...


I changed the system so I still have as much room but I now can get anything I need quite easy... Will do the test at the snoball!!!.
