New owner in Pennsylvania

[MattyIce716]

Newbie checking in. I've been snooping around here to help with my purchase and have been looking for a Raptor for about six months and finally pulled the trigger. Getting a white 2018 with 98k miles as another fun toy, but this one I can drive the kids around in . Looks like the truck needs a lot of work so I got the price down to 45k. I'll be searching here for some knowledge as I fix her up. Once I get it home I'll post some pictures. For now...hello!

Welcome to FRF!

Until you get your Rap home and show us some pics, here is a provisional Prius pic to tide you over

Welcome to FRF!

What is wrong with the truck? What kind of work does it need?

 

[MattyIce716]

Sun roof has broken plastic tracks and gets stuck once in awhile(it works if I assist it by hand). Brakes and rotors all round, suspension needs rebuild, tires cupping(most likely from suspension), composite oil pan has seepage (gonna upgrade to the aluminum pan, and lastly there rust on the frame(needs and under coating). Truck has nearly 100k miles on the clock.

Also forgot the front and rear side marker lights don’t work(voltage going to them)

Any oil leaking from the shocks? Any impact damage to the skidplates, rear diff, rear bump stop areas? Any impact from the tires into the wheelwell?

 

[MattyIce716]

No oil leaking from the shocks. No impact damage to skid plates, under carriage or body. No tire impacts either

Probably wasn't ran hard off road then. Just a standard Gen 2, at Starbucks.

Don't use undercoating on the frame, will trap moisture and rust more. Prep the surface and use Pol-15.

If you have an extended warranty, take to the dealer to repair the sunroof. If not there are a few threads on how to fix it per Ford TSB.

Couple of different brake and tire options. Depends on the goal of the truck.

Take it out into the woods and remove that tire shine ASAP!
