GEN 2 Retired the old Baja Raptor and picked up another

[Cdcorn1]

Mezger, unfortunately I did not take my truck off-road when it had the stock suspension. I can tell you the the Race Series soaks up the bumps very well. I’ve been airborne a few times and she lands smoothly. Combined with the Deavers, it flexes a lot during rock crawling. It does ride a little firmer on the road, but i like it better than the stock suspension.

I haven’t adjused anything on the shocks as of yet. I believe they come from the factory “Preset” for the Raptor. That being said, I will try adjusting them the next time I’m in Baja.

I had all the work done at Baja HQ in San Juan Capistrano, CA. They know Raptors inside and out. I highly recommend them if you live in the area.

Other than the price I don’t think there are any cons!

Thats awesome where you going to be watching it from?

Not sure yet...last year we were down at Colonet(spelling?) in the morning and most of the day.. and then ran up to San Vicente later that evening...

They never didnt cover one thing. Even though all the damage was from excessive abuse. Replaced my Rear end 3x even with the 37s tires on it.

Kent, we are both in San Diego, curious which dealer you're going to? I haven't had any issues with the service department at my dealer (Penske Ford) but all my service has been either recall or very clear warranty work. Would be nice to have a backup service location that is known to be "mod friendly" should the need arise.

KentSD, How did the old truck do with regards to rattles and squeaks on the inside after all the hard miles? You might have to work with ford to improve the rear ends a bit.

No squeaks really. Door hinges make some interesting noises - Skid plates always losing bolts rattling and stuff

Congrats, enjoy the new one, and damn what a trade in value, it's amazing how they hold value.

When they said 12 hours for the part swap, you should have told them, you should get better mechanics. Honestly, they just didn't want to bother with it, I am sure.
