What did u do to your raptor today?

[jdm_sixtwo]

He makes some nice stickers too lol

Lol yeah I got a few with my brake light

 

[Whoops]

Well this happened last week along with oil pump gears. The extra ponies definitely increased smile/mile ratio.

Not fair to post engine po rn without some audio, especially for those of us with a Raptor in pieces. We want to know what your neighbors have to hear every morning

Nothing sounds better than a V8 Raptor, morning, afternoon or night.

Pointless mod. But it’s a leather cover with red stitch from I guess a tremor.

eBay seller butlerautorecycling has a few.

I've been having occasional weirdness with my RH steering wheel switch for a few months, sometimes instead of increasing volume it would skip to the next track, and then instead of skipping back to that song it would skip ahead even more (not cool bro) so I ordered a new SW-6879 from Rockauto and I figured it would be the perfect time to get paddle shifters from Frostbite Fabrication.

I got the Version 2 in anodized blue (obviously heh). Took me about 4-5 hours at a leisurely pace, the youtube videos were very helpful and for the most part spot on. I'll post some details in the thread linked above, it would have taken less time but I smashed a wire and had to find it. Here's an ultimate theft deterrent pic along the way


They work PERFECTLY! And for those of you that are super particular about the color, I'd say (with my Windoz 3.11 eyes that only register 16 colors) that the blue matches the factory Ford blue exactly (the horrendous lighting of my equally horrendous picture skills aside):

Very happy with the result, many thanks to @KrautKabbage for building and selling the kits!

The radio switch wasn't too bad, the Ford manual is next to useless describing the procedure but if you ever have to do it, there's no screws holding it there, just the gooshy steering wheel material so once the connector is undone you pretty much just pry the little bastard out, and not-so-gently wriggle the new one in.

Yea, it takes some effort to get the old volume controls out for sure.

Well, had what sounded like rear end bearing noise, but it oscillated which threw me off. Looked at rotors and they looked fine and let it go for a few days. Checked today and a nice deep groove in the rotor. Glad it’s not a failing rear diff and just trash brakes lol. Metal on metal is the best stopping power of course
