What did u do to your raptor today?

[jdm_sixtwo]

CHOPPED and SLAMMED them transmission cooler lines.

Did you run them all the way back to the transmission? My lines are leaking and I fear them blowing

No I didn't. Only back to the metal crimps under the rad. I think the lines might be all metal from that point back.

Required:
1/2" transmission cooler line x 6'
3/4" hose clamp x 8 (2 on each hose end)
Rotary tool to do precise cuts on the crimps

Held on with adhesive, or anything else??
Looks cool

Comes with adhesive tape already on it. Attached nice and tight. Time will tell how durable it is.

Ring has an aluminum backing, so I think any good glue would work also.

LOL - Both high mileage, and both run great.

The orange one has been a bit of a maintenance hog. A lot of the systems have been replaced: Cooling, Steering, Transfer Case, ABS System ...

You're keeping the original shackles?

havent decided. Itll all be off so in my mind im thinking i should change them?

 

[Whoops]

Foutz or KHC or other/custom? I need to protect my soft underbelly from trans hits and cat thieves (neither has happened, knock on wood).

I contacted RCI when they had a sale recently. I don't need the front of their engine skid cause of the SVC bumper but they would only sell the complete package, said it caused too much trouble for their inventory??? So I ordered 1/4" 5052 aluminum sheet to make my own engine and transmission skids for considerably less than the cost of their skids.

Finally got my quick release steering wheel on and got rid of that dreaded airbag (im always afraid its gunna pop) wtf-150 makes the button holder and big thanks to D-nice (baja taxi) for posting his, he helped Regan develop it. Super stoked
