One liner is allowed

Went to a local car show on Sat. This old guy had him a wannabe Raptor. The truck was clean, but crapped up pretty bad interior with Raptor models, hats, and all kinds of truck paraphernalia. Too bad it was a plain f150 underneath all the decals and shit plus it had 50lb each 20” wheels on it. I gave him a C+ for effort.

Very nice, doing stock UCA's this week while rebuilding shocks, pretty straightforward after the shock is out? Link or elaborate on lifetime warranty IWE's? Mine haven't failed but probably a matter of time...

Yes, uca's are simple.
IWE's i got dorman (which i have heard make them for ford) i compared new to new and honestly they look exactly the same. Anyways, i feel like a autozone commercial lately but you get them there with a lifetime warranty

How do you like those tires?

I just bought the truck, the dealer put these tires on, so I can't really compare them to any other tire on the truck itself. If I were putting new tires on the truck I probably would have gone with some KOs or KM2s, I've had good luck with those on my daily driven Jeeps.

As for the brand, I used to run Sumitomo HTR Z-IIIs on my Mini Cooper S and Celica Alltrac when I did autocross. Super grippy, cheap, and totally destroyed after one season.

There is an idiot where I work with the same grille.

Imitation is not flattery...its tacky and stupid.

Fried my 2nd power steering pump in 2 months.

1979,
There's along time FRF contributor named Gordon that goes through a PS pump every other off road trip. During my Raptor Assault course I blew one on the truck I was assigned to.
They are very much under designed!
