Late last night I enlarged my hood heat extractors, today I will be installing red LED's and putting it back together. There was mud under the heatshield from last weekend, glad I took it off. Thanks @J DAMAGE

How did you guys pop beads on beadlocks? What pressure were you running and how fast were you going!??!?


Those are not beadlocked. They have the beauty ring on. Here is a pic of a set with full locks. garysy7e.jpg

Seems like a bunch of guys popped beads and broke transmissions. I also learned the stock bfgs are junk on that surface.


What was the surface like? Muddy?

Some starter fluid and a lighter should set that bead back quickly.

AC Line Insulation MOD

I did the AC line insulation MOD that others have done. All I can say is that insulation gets mighty warm from the engine heat. I'm sure it helps a great deal by reducing ancillary heat loads.

We got it back on and ran 3 more laps but it is leaking around the stem. Will take it to a tire shop in the morning before I head home.

Washed JUST the wheels/tires before I head home from raptorberfest so my steering wheel doesn't vibrated my arms to sleep. Going to leave the rest of it dirty for awhile. Took nearly an hour and $15 later....

Got my Raptor out of the shop on Thursday after finally getting the Snoball damage fixed. Stupid bitch rear ended me the next morning while I was at a dead stop, at a red light. Sprained thumb, whiplash and back pain on me (went to the ER). Raptor's damage is receiver hitch is pushed back far enough to be touching the spare tire, bumper is dented and the freshly painted bed is now ****** up again from where the bumper pushed into paint. Bitch wouldn't even give me her name or insurance info. "Isn't that what the police are for?" Cop wouldn't give me the info either. Now I get to drive back to the police precinct to get the friggin information to get her insurance info to file a claim. I'll lay odds she didn't have insurance of which it will be my goal in life to make hers a living hell. Tennessee doesn't have the stupid "homestead exemption" like Texas.
