Texas Raptor Run 2014 Damage Thread

[Deleted member 12951]

Not too bad. Broke a mudflap, my front bumper, dented the TMX skid plate and got grass actually under the bolt. The only thing I am somewhat bumming about are the SE beauty rings that apparently got damaged in some of those ruts or side rocks. Did chunk my rear tires too but not that bad, will swap with my two new spares. Truck just turned 1 month old since I picked it up from the dealer.

Yeah **** flaps usually don't hold up for long while off roading. No matter what brand.

Yeah, **** flaps tend to get all dangly after lots of hard use.

I ran the truck pretty hard and the only thing to break was my ford racing light bar with my 30" rigid mounted to it. It didn't break at the welds it actually snapped the metal on both sides where it come out of the bumper right before it turns vertical. I'll try and get the pics off my girls phone later. My roll-x wouldn't stay shut either with the bed flexing it kept popping up. So I rolled it up and it ended up tearing up some of the vinyl on it. Other than that no real issues.

My security mod of the Roll-X held it down. The two side ones came lose but the middle held and the cover never popped. Next time, I will use some tape on the threads and that should keep the sides intact.

Used self tapping screws and two plastic wire ties on each. Sides hook to the bed hooks. Middle, took the bottom screw holding the plastic tailgate cover and put a ring on it with a washer. When not using the middle, I can put the top end under the tailgate handle and lock it in place to be out of the way.

Correct. Threw a belt, coolant bottle bubbled over onto headers. Never know that coolant was flammable. Thank God for fire extinguishers or I would have been toast.
