Starter is on. That top bolt is ridiculous. (It's like Pluto; astronomers theorized there was another planet there, then spent years trying to find it because they couldn't actually see the little bia tch). Had to cut a 13mm 12pt wrench in half to be able to rotate it a couple degrees about 80 times.... in both directions. Definitely used anti-sieze on the bolts per FTM's advice.
whats the over under on betting the truck wont run until next year?

I'm running out of excuses to NOT work on it. But I've purchased everything that conceivably needed to be replaced, paid off the loan, and caught up with all the other "urgent" projects.
well coming here and fixing all my stuff should give you a few more excuses

I’m the worst passenger ever but the ortho and neuro said no, no to driving for ten days. So with fear and frustration I sat my happy ass right here. It’s very unnerving to put a Raptor in the hands of someone who’s never driven one on roads they’re unfamiliar with. All I “learned” was “she’s tight and super responsive”.

37" Mickey Thompson Baja Legends are on. Stock springs and bottom perch ... I know, I tried to get them to rub the whole way home and they somehow clear. Geisers going on later this year and I will do some trimming/pinch weld work. They ride amazing at 40psi. Incredibly quiet too. Also added Apex Rapid Valves for airing down faster
