Olsen Gen 2 And Gen 3 Raptor Build Thread

[WillieFlo]

I took a few spirited solo laps around Durhamtown in Tim's truck and I can tell you those JRZ shocks handled just as good as my Fox Race Series 3.0s. I was very impressed.

Price for a set?

Between the COVID restrictions and poor snow conditions, you didn't miss much this year. I need to make it over to your shop one of these days or you need to have an Open House. That would be cool.

Super cool to hear about your background, lots of space in my heart for old German cars. I bought my first raptor a couple years ago mainly because I needed a truck to tow my evo 8 track car with but wanted a truck I could still have fun with so a raptor was my only option. No regrets to say the least haha.

I used to be the guy that would point out how much $$$ you’ve blown you could’ve bought this or that blah blah blah

Just beat on it & swap it out for a gen3 blah blah

then I realize....I’ve got DUMB $$$ into an ‘03 Z06 vette lol- @ the end of the day when you go full bore on a vehicle like this, take it apart & back together again more than once, know all the dirty secrets & every square inch, touch nearly every nut & bolt....at some point you’ve gone through it completely & know it’s straight

There’s something to be said for that

make mistakes & learn along the way, fix the weak points as they pop up, mod it to make it yours - it’s a passion, the thing looks good my man enjoy!

And even though I’m a “vette guy” (w/ one that eats P cars & ***** em out for breakfast lol) I can totally appreciate Porsche’s, they’re my fav German cars & I’ll one @ some point- and the fact that you’ve worked on them for a good part of your life? You’re probably guaranteed a spot in heaven, b/c wrenching on P cars for a living is truly saints work lol

I would love this! You are welcome anytime. Open houses are so hard for us for security purposes due to values of the cars. Wish we could!

They are great! Love the EVO’s. Been shock tuning on those for years!

Nice build. More close up pics please. Are you developing shocks for the trx as well? (NOT interested).
