What did u do to your raptor today?

It's just an optical illusion, they are normal, they are flat.

Dahm... you're right. I had to zoom in and out and in to see it. They look folded down

I've been wanting to DIY brake flush, seems pretty simple, which model motive power bleeder did you get?
Any tips for a first timer? Thanks!

I have a motive. Pretty inexpensive on Amazon. But then you will also need to adapter to attach to the specific vehicle you are doing... i think the adapters are 30??
Anyways pretty simple, I put 64 oz in so i make sure i get a good flush (but 32 is probably more than enough). Pump it up to 15lbs, Start are the furthest away and crack and bleed till it's clean. Then the rest. left rear, front right and front left.
I usually do another lap just to be sure all clean and no air but that too is unnecessary.
Also pro tip... If you haven't cracked the bleeders in a while they might wanna strip or even break before coming loose. So if you feel one is not coming like it should.... Give it a little tighten first and boom it will come right loose. Trust me it works

Got my motive power bleeder and 1107 adapter.
Tried to fit it on the reservoir and it is a very tight fit. Is the 1107 the adapter that you used on yours?

I removed the plastidip from the fender flares and applied 4 coats of spray on raptor bed liner. The plastidip looked good for a little while but was starting to show some wear from a few too many run ins with branches and brush. I decided to do it right and use a bed liner coating. I had done my front bumper with herculiner and it's held up very well, so I decided to do that same with the fender flares.

- Remove fender flares from truck.



- Pressure wash plastidip off. This was much harder than I thought it would be proving the plastidip actually holds up well if you don't puncture it.


- First coat of herculiner applied


- Here's what I used


- Four coats later, with about 2 hours dry time between coats I pulled the flares in my garage to keep them dry overnight. They recommend letting it cure for 72 hours, so I just keep them in my garage for 5 days.


- Re-installed the fender flares with mostly new hardware





It matches my front bumper perfectly, not bad considering it's been months and about 3K miles of driving(with a lot of off-road) since I did that.

Total cost was only about $75 in materials. I went through 4 bottles of the herculiner and it took me an entire day to apply the liner as the dry time between coats was pretty long. Removal and re-install of the fender flares was very easy with my trim removal tools.

Looks really good! I bet it will hold up well and be easy to touch up if needed. Have you been happy with your Wildpeak's?

Thanks, I'm hoping it'll take some abuse.

I have been happy with the Wildpeaks. They are very quiet and comfortable on the road but have handled everything off-road I could thrown at them.

Picked up some used Method wheels with BFG 37’s last weekend. Finally got the lug nuts and installed them. Sitting on top perch, doesn’t rub so far.
