What did u do to your raptor today?

[CoronaRaptor]

Parked it out on the street as I’m changing the oil in my kids truck. He’s gaming while I do this, lol. He’s a good kid, I’m just bored!

View attachment 359068 I got a curt 14-1/2 drop shank and curt eq hitch and a pole tongue adapter for the 21ft ranger. Previously I did some plating in and beefing up on the SVC rear bumper because over a really long trip I bent it a bit when I pulled something a raptor probably shouldn't from the desert out of LA to south padre, unhitched it, ran the beach and then towed it up to MN. As is that bumper could have easily towed this boat, what bent it most SRW diesel guys wouldn't have tried and I I pulled it from the Mohave to padre and up to the Tundra... LOL, and I have owned a 6.7 Ford SD. Yes the bedsides are going to be wrapped and I have front advanced glass to match that will too.. But....Anyway... I was able to dial in the hitch so that the ride height of the truck towing the 21-footer is close to the same as when it was un-hitched. Rides like it's not even towing now.

How high is the trailer tongue from the ground. Looks a little low. On my Basscat they recommend 19 to 20 in. To the top of the ball. Post a few pics of that Ranger. I like bass boat pictures. I had a Ranger before my Cat.

Its just laying on there, I have no money to drive the Raptor, so it wont fall off, driving it from inside the garage, to the street and back.

Glad you got your truck back fixed without costing you but man that's sad about them trying to charge you! And dealers wonder why customers call them stealer-ships!

Those leadframes are crazy expensive. Lots of "pre-owned", "other", and Chinese-made units available, but a new updated unit is around $600..... for a mass-produced Injection molded plastic part that was designed over a decade ago?

I think for that price it comes with the valve body as well, all one piece together. I'm not 100% sure on that, but I know you could order just the lead frame bare-bones or you could order it complete. I'm hoping Ford is doing the larger section, I might look and see if I can find it...

no luck

anyways, i gave tirina @AngelMomma101 some reverse lights. swapped out the bulbs and added 6in led bars to each side.the crappy aluminium (for you french and canadian) brackets broke when i tried drilling new holes to fit the oem bold holes and tightening it down. so a small metal strap wrapped in enginebay tessa tape and all good. bolts into the factoey holes, and brings it up closer to the bumper.

will have to see how well these cheap ass lights do at night
