I re-did my front bumper with hurculiner spray bed liner and did an oil change. My front bumper and skid plate were looking pretty bad and starting to get a little rust where the larger rock chips were. I contemplated getting it powder coated, but the shops around me were going to be $800-1000 to blast and powder coat, which is more than I wanted to spend as I use the truck offroad often, so it'll just get beat up again. I did a bunch of research on DIY bed liner options and it seemed like people were very happy with the results of herculiner for these kinds of projects. $30 bucks and about 5 hours later, things look much better and will hopefully hold up to the abuse for a bit.

Here's the before:

One coat down... After this I decided to move to my back parking area as the overspray was pretty bad.

I took the opportunity to do an oil change as it was too easy to get in there with the bumper removed. It has been about 5K miles since the last change and the oil looked well used.

I started with the skid plate as I thought it would be good to would learn how the stuff goes on where no one would see... This is just before mounting it back up. Overall the finish of the hurculiner is pretty clean.

Had Evil Manufacturing install a Lee’s PS pump + bypass. Had plans on using Amsoil fluid, but Lee recently came out with a bulletin stating any warranty would be voided if Lee or Motocraft fluid wasn’t used. It’s slightly louder than OEM. D6B86B7D-5CC6-4833-B106-355FBDDA349D.jpeg

Went out today and found myself hunting down a phantom low tire pressure alert. I filled all my tires to 42, none were below 38 when I got the alert. I checked my spare too. We will see if I come out to the truck tomorrow and one of the tires is flat.

I got them laying down in my garage waiting to be installed
When that Bulletin came out? because I did contact Lee, on 6th of May and they recommended using "AC Delco non synthetic power steering fluid #10-5073"

Installed ARH Headers on my Raptor, coupled with the already installed since 2015 CORSA XTREME .. oh man this sounds loud
like really loud, might install a resonator, or change the muffler to reduce the sound a little bit
