What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

[Space Ghost]

BD LP4s installed, a bit bigger than i was expecting, almost look goofy looking.
Waiting on some chase lights and wiring from SPV parts to finish it up.

I don't disagree, I know the tires and small wheels have a lot to do with it, but I have previously owned a Chevy Colorado ZR2 and a 2018 Jeep JLUR and those were just an order of magnitude more rough. The ZR2 in comparison I would have thought would have been a lot better. It had those trick Multimatic shocks. The Jeep, well, it was a Jeep. Hated that vehicle so much I sold it after only 10 months. The Raptor is really good - game changer good. I actually think I can get my wife to go with me now. Can't wait till the snow melts off and I can get out there.

I guess the key difference is the Raptor has the 35's. Pretty much you will be cutting and doing some serious body work to most any other vehicle out there to stuff 35's under them.

Yeah that is true Wranglers do have a rough ride no matter how you cut it, they’re way better than they once were, but IMHO lean more into the category of a “machine” like a skid steer/tractor/snowcat than a proper “vehicle” lol & im 100% serious w/ that

And what you said is true w/ 35”s, hell I know a lot of 1/2 ton setups w/ 2” lifts that still rub slightly w/ 33”s lol! And the Raptor can handle 37”s w/ minimal modification!

imo t-case is the easiest to do, front diff isnt bad either.
Also odd, my rear diff has been pretty clear when i changed it, but my tcase was pitch black though before 40k.

I was also lookin at the amsoil gear oil, but doesnt that stuff have friction modifier in it? Afaik the gen 2s dont need it, is it bad to have it in there?

I ran it in my last gen2 no issue I run all Amsoil fluids EXCEPT I do know the T-case & front diff require something different & stuck w/ the factory fluid I don’t think Amsoil even offers fluid for those

I run it in 2wd most of the time & hammer on it quite a bit & towed a decent amount so rear diff didn’t surprise me.

I’ll look into doing the T-case & front diff I just assumed it was a PITA due to the skid plates so didn’t look into it

Installed my KHC Exhaust. Ended up having to pickup an Exhaust pipe stretcher (new tool to me) in order to get them far enough into the stock pipes. Major ***** to stretch / flatten out the hump in the stock tube.

Be careful with your wires as to not melt them.

Thanks for that - Looking for products now. It's not that close, but I'm going to heed the warning. Better safe than sorry!

SVC had this very same issue last year when they installed the KHC exhaust on my truck… since then though, no melted wires or trailer connector.

Cool - good to hear about the wiring. I'm heading to SVC tomorrow so they can do my bumper install and dovetail. I'm too chicken $h1t to do that cut myself!
