Hello all, been lurking around better part of 5 years since I bought my bone stock, never used in Raptor capacity, 2017 Shadow Black Metallic Raptor SCREW.

Truck was daily driven as family vehicle up until 2 weeks ago, finally pulled the trigger on a vehicle for the wife. Bought with 23k miles, truck sits at 107,089 miles today. All this to say, I have a deep sense of accomplishment and pride now having MY truck back and 100% in the capacity of fun.

Along the way I have had AMPLE fun in this truck. I love it and have maintained it well under any recommended service interval, ubiquitously. I’ve done some work along the way as well, most recently putting in Deavers out back and Fox Race Series 3.0s on all 4 corners. Other specs below:

Stubby antenna
5% ceramic tint all windows
45% ceramic tint twin panel moon roof
Put on 17/18 factor bead lock wheels with beauty rings
SPC cam lock on lower control arm
Cobb tuned since about 25k miles 91 or 93 Stage 1 OTS map
SDHQ A Pillar Mounts w/ Baja Designs XL Sport lights
Cam Phaser rebuild at 50k-ish miles
CV Fabrications stock position intercooler upgrade with TurboSmart VTA BOV
SPD turbo adapters
SPD trombone(resonator delete)
Fox Race Series 3.0’s Front and Rear
Deaver HD +3 leaf springs
Icon bump stop spacer puck

So that’s where I’m at. I’m really happy with my set up. The suspension work, I have maybe 150 miles on it so far but couldn’t be happier with the investment. Currently in the San Antonio area, so if you see a Raptor fitting that description above throw me a wave, let’s talk. Always looking for a reason to use my truck! Planning on going to Cycle Ranch soon, see you there!

Sorry you didn't get validated within 24 hours of your post. We're all deeply sorry and will do better next time.
Validated means something here, I don’t know what. There seems to be some process or etiquette I am unaware of. I’m teachable but can’t play the game if I don’t know the rules. But, apology accepted.
