My only experience with balance beads on my raptor was interesting. I bought the truck in phoenix and drove home to so call. 2012 Border patrol raptor with 115k miles, 1 year old bfg KO2 with about 90% tread. The truck drove great with no vibrations upto about 80mph then would develop a...
(y) Im going to try and make it with my 14 year old son. Been trying to get in on a trip like this. If I dont go in the few weeks death valley lake looks like a cool site to see thats not around toof often.
I was going to make a day trip to plaster city but glamis sounds fun too. Trip from flats to diners diner sounds fun. What’s the roll out time? I’m about 3 hours from glamis store and would just be day trippin.
I might be up for this trip in my raptor. I need to do the Mojave road. My parents live on 5 acres in golden valley. Thinking about starting at their place and driving back to slash x off road. Should be able to hit oatman ghost town and then all the regular Mojave spots. Camp one night.
Im just starting to get my rig setup. Picked up some pelican type bins for tool storage in the truck. Working on mounting and organizing now. Got tired of the HD special totes getting destroyed every trip in the bed or making noise in the cab.
So we picked up this project from the BLGT forum for free. My first thought was center mount a arms or beams and big links in the rear. After some time staring at it and being more realistic for short term success we have decided to make it a running and driving rock crawler. We poured some...
On raptors they run extended bump stop pads. Works just like an airbag. You can jack up the truck and pop it out to put the shorty back in once you disconnect the trailer

Next item on the list was adding some cup holders... Some of these trucks come with a cup holder bolted onto the rear of the console, but mine did not have that sweet option so I had to add it myself.
Some scrap aluminum and $10 cups holders from amazon worked out pretty good.
I promise...
There is an hour meter in the console but its only showing 50ish hours.
I idle the shit out of the truck as well, ive never been one to restart my truck all day when out on a trip.
Part of the maintenance I did was replacing all 16 spark plugs/wires, evap purge valve, removed and cleaned...
Condition varies like any used vehicle. Some of them were used as commuters between offices and some of them were flooded and spent all their time in the dirt. I’ve met a few people that have them and one was really really rough with lots of issues, but he also paid way less for the truck...
Between buying the truck and actually picking it up there was about a two week gap in which I bought a set of five used method wheels with 33" tires for $800. I sold the tires to a buddy along with a leveling kit I installed on his colorado for $1,000 so truck math means I got the wheels for...
I always struggle to call something a "build" when you just bolt on a bunch of pre fabbed parts, but here we go!
I flew out to Phoenix AZ and purchased from Rick (@dunewhore) in August of 2022 and drove home to So Cal in a monsoon with one headlight and blown out windshield wipers. Over the...
