What did u do to your raptor today?

Sounds like a busy day!

Who the hell puts those kind of fender flares on a raptor, but doesn't have the decency to go with a stubby antenna?

What tires were on the truck?

No idea man, the same type of person that gets their truck repo'd I guess. Tires were Kelly safaris, downstairs the freeway they handle great just louder than my ko2's.

I bet. I was trying few different settings and felt that there was sand in it. One of them had lots of water too so need to take care of those. Did yours stuck already?

I've gotten them so stuck after TRR and mud that I had to drill out the set screws and purchase new knobs. Since then, I've been packing them with this grease but not sure if its the best for this application, what are you using?

I think if it's waterproof like most are and high temp it should protect enough. I also use grease for set screw but it may be that Anti-Seize could be better for it. I'm using Silkolene pro RG2 synthetic grease. Company i worked was importer for long time and i have still good access and prizes for these products.

Looks a little cheaper too so I might give that a try. I noticed the stuff I am using eventually turns into a solid.

Sold a front bumper and helped Bruce install it in the parking lot. Forgot to take pics though. @myfirstford

Did adjustment Knob Prep for rear shocks. Definitely can see how those get stuck if nothing is done.

I hope they are not to loose so they fall off.

I'm good with that. Let us know how they hold up.

I got the left rear done today, wasn't fun but went smooth..

A cap set screw on the right side seemed to be stripped out so I left that for when I'm in my own garage with a bit more time. Hopefully I'll be able to get it with a torx head or something else simple lol

Well, few of those were really loose and if i didn't do this i bet some could have lost. I made sure to tighten those enough but will check them some point again. Knobs were pretty expensive if i remember right.

About $25 with set screw a piece.
