What did u do to your raptor today?

[pat247]

I have the airaid stuff, a dry (synthamax) for the stock air box. Then I have a oiled (synthaflow) and a dry for the cai. The airaid filters are well made and easy to clean. You can never have to many air filters, I run 4 different filters depending on the occasion or time of year.

Finally (tack) welding on the SPC Alignment Tabs. Because wtf else would you be doing at noon in Aug in the Hi Dez? BTW, @Jakenbake that truck looks badazz!

Thanks! It has been a lot of effort to get it done in the time frame.

Looks incredible. The MTZs are some great looking and performing tires. Any idea what that combo weighs per corner?

Thanks man! Tires are like 81lbs and the wheels are 34lbs

That is from memory by the way……..

Whats happening here? I'm thinking about doing a "carbon fiber" hydrodip on mine. I dug up this post and it looks pretty simple to apply.

We were painting them with SEM trim paint. Grill is getting painted tomorrow. Mine were starting to look a little rough. Had permanent “spots”

I am interested in seeing the final product (carbon fiber). I love seeing it on other vehicles, but I’m not sure I ever want it. I know, I’m weird…..

Document the process, I do enjoy learning new things.

Just drilled some holes in my roof, for my roof rack

Before and after. Simple fix and I wish I would have done it months ago.

Can anybody confirm the front diff hardware sizes? 18mm socket, 13mm thread, and 3 lengths. P side is 3.5"+taper, with the wing on the bolt. High bolt is 4"+taper uses a regular nylock nut. Rear bolt is 3.75 w 1" taper and screws into a welded nut bracket.

 

[TomDirt]

There's the hardware in place. The highest one is a real joy to install, as the steering joint is right in front of the bolt. Does this look correct?

 

[TomDirt]

The pass side has that lever welded to the nut, the top one a nylock and the rear goes into the bracket bolt.

It helps when they face the pass side bushing up, instead of down
