Raptor takes jump too fast

[TMX Engineer]

Well Fellas here they are....

All in all the truck was in MUCH better shape then most people would realize. Starts right up and moves...

These are pretty self explanatory

Doesn't look all that bad. What about the shocks?

These are where the front frame rail bent and a close up. You can notice the bends by the lack of paint on the radius'

The steering knuckle is currently in the valve cover. Notice the hole in which you can see right in. Drivers side

The top of the ICON shock and shock tower are shoved into the valve cover and header area. Passenger Side

Over all of the passenger (impact side) front suspension. Shock leans inboard a good 4-5 inches from stock.

The shock bodies them selves held up. But the most likely blew a fitting on impact, thus the mass fluid exodus, they are going to be sent back to ICON to get rebuilt if possible to go on his 6.6L Procharged Raptor.

What a damn shame. I don't care if you have the money, that's still just dumb. I know guys on this forum that would kill to have some of those parts on thier Rapt, that this winner just disgarded to be know as the village idiot of the year. What a shame

You know people probably say the same thing, while some of us are swinging a 3,4,or 6 pound sledge hammer at our $45K-$55K offroad toy, just to fit 37s....

But I do agree.

I screamed "That is EXACTLY why we cant have nice things around here" as I walked through the shop. He chuckled and does have a since of humor about it.... Not much left to do but laugh at the current leader for the ******* OF THE YEAR AWARD! Only 10 more months to go.

I don't know it's not like he drove into a brick wall just to see if he would get threw it.. so he over shot the landing that's better than coming up short. far as I'm concerned you'd look stupider coming up short. one thing learned don't jump this type of jump if your not certain how to go about it. or get bigger shocks

Ouch, not as bad as I would have guessed though.
