Traded for a New One

[alexlaughlin]

I traded my 2011 Procharged Black Raptor for a white fully loaded 2013. There's so much that's changed from then to now. It even sits taller, much taller. With the same Saints Off Road front bumper, you can see so much more control arm/steering gear. I know for a fact it's taller because I have a tennis ball hanging from my garage ceiling so I know where to stop (only have a matter of inches between the wall and garage door clearances), and the ball hits the windshield about 6 inches sooner. I will say, Ford has it going on these days with their interiors. I ordered the lockpick yesterday to be able to activate the front view camera with out the required conditions from Ford. Anyone else use this? Also bought the Icon UPA kit and the RPG Tie Rods, those will go on soon. Those Icon Control Arms are one fine example of machine work. I run a CNC machine shop and can really appreciate the surface finishes, radiuses, and fixtures that had to be built to machine these. Fine work it is!

Good looking truck. And judging from your signature, you have gotten away from the Hennessy version, kudos to you on that.

Yeah when I bought the Hennessey, I hadn't heard the horror stories. There several things I didn't like about it, one being the blow off valve would cover the surrounding area in oil. I also have a 22ft wakeboard boat that's pretty damn heavy and that supercharger sounded awful towing it up a hill. And if the belt broke I'd be up **** creek. So I'm entirely happy with my recent decision.
