On my way from Dallas to St.Louis some old guy clipped my back bumper going 75+...

Luckily I didn't spin out (wet roads) and luckily the Raptor doesn't even have a knick on it. Dovetail rear bumper would have come in handy!

Hey all you scoundrels...just got back from the sandbox and have done a couple of things...

Long tube American Racing Headers are on and SVC Tune has been updated for them. Truck is crazy fast and loud now...will do a video asap.

Installed my Rigid RDS 54" lightbar, Mag-Hytec diff cover, JLT oil separator, PDP mud flaps and graphics by Josh at Rappygraphics.

Still have Warren's bumper to do...but having a difficult time locating a torque wrench that goes to 500 ft lbs for the steering rack bolts (482 ft lbs)...and waiting for my Race Runner Tiregate.

Will keep updating as I go.

God it feels good to drive her again!

Oh...and got my first speeding ticket...154 in a 100 zone...ouch...but **** it...was worth the look on the cop's face when I went screaming by! LOL
You are thinking of the lower shock bolt. If you have to ever mess with it, You might be able to rent a torque multiplier.
40" installed on the grille support rubber mounts near the bottom of the grille opening. Had to modify the mounts that came with the light bar (which I believe is an Zeus 40") so they wwould fit while using the stock grille support stops (or whatever they are called).
Did you remove the plastic nut that is below the mount? I've had the plastic break while offroading. Had to zip tie the light bar in until I got back to the pit to properly bolt it in place.

Joe....yeah...I got the two mixed up. Either way...my buddy brought home a torque wrench from work (aircraft mechanic) and we got it done. So at least I know I can get a torque wrench that goes that high if needed.

¡AWESOME! Sounds like a win to me.

Truck looks great. I'm sure you're happy to be home and behind the wheel.
