Well ultimately, I think at least, ford and all the other manufacturers don't want us to fix anything, they want us to trade on to the next one once Warrenty is over. Again thats just how I see it tho.

I know its not really practical but I may just go down the line of buying a new vehicle every ten years or so and keeping the previous one. I'm looking at a Bronco, maybe a 2024 model and that will line up with 10 year ownership of the Raptor.

Hung the new Blitzkrieg UCA's and the original LCA's (with new bushings & ball joints). The copper color is an 'homage' to the $1800 anodized aluminum Kibbetech UCA's and the lowers just have Vatozones' Best aluminum spray paint. BTW, a tapered pin really helps aligning the uppers, to minimize hammering the arms into place.

I like the idea of uniballs, but I do not love how hard they can be to line up….

Yup! There are some people out there that think the radiator cap never goes bad, but this is a perfect example. Glad you replaced it before you overheated. :)

I noticed a smell and saw on here the lower hose tends to leak past an old o ring so i saw some wetness near it, and I figured that was it. I moved the hose around and it stopped lol. A few days ago i could smell it again but saw a small puddle and a faster drip(i also saw a few posts about the cap). i popped the hood and saw that the cap sprayed a bit in the area. So I ordered one and now i see why it was leaking LOL

pulled my old baja designs 60" onx6 arc off to perform some maintenance and getting the truck prepped for a much needed overhaul, going to include svc mid travel kit up front with new hubs, rebuild and cerakote my old sun bleached king 4.0 rear bypasses, and powdercoat my janky old methods a new color for a bit of a change. All parts are standing by to get started. Probably going to bump up to 39's once I get all of that sorted as my baja t/a are at the end of their life.
