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

Tire shine on the fender flares, bold move. @John M BUNMAN will approve. @smurfslayer will pop a blood vessel.

We’ll they are carbon fibArZ so yeah, shiny.

I didn't know Ford made one.

It does look kinda high - almost like the tires are 33's or something. Doesn't look like any sort of readylift though from what I can see, maybe the rear has bigger blocks and the front has 2" collars?

I was thinking the same, definitely higher than stock.

Me either - and I've always said they are BS and that if they were needed, Ford would make one. Well, they made one.

Is that a plug and play install, no drilling into the valve covers or anything? I never liked that part of some of the aftermarket ones, and also don't want to tempt the warranty people to have an issue. From the install directions it looks like you simply redirect the hoses?

Yeah it's super simple - you bolt a bracket on, put the separator piece on, remove ONE hose from the intake to the valve cover, attach valve cover to separator and the intake to the separator. That's it. Here are the official instructions.

Cool, thank you. I really didn't like the installs of the aftermarket ones I've seen and was afraid of having an issue down the line. I also like how it's tucked in by the engine which I would think should get rid of excess condensation.

They are not BS. The EPA hates emissions components that require maintenance and this requires maintenance (to be drained).

Because the average person is pretty retarded and does not do maintenance. They are forced to live with their engine eating some nasty stuff.

People are their own worst enemy.
