What did u do to your raptor today?

Back to the mods

It's been a while since I've done any mods to my 2014 SCREW. That sort of thing happens when low on cash, (out of work on Long Term Disability due to back injury).

Anyway, my KO's were riding very rough, scalloped, and were beginning to hydroplane in rain. They only had 54K miles on them, but I guess that's not bad from what have I read.

I decided on the 37 KO2s and there were a lot of Black Friday deals going on. But after reading all the threads on mid-perch, pinch-weld (didn't find a good step-by step guide), bump stops, and Fox 3.0 as probable prerequisites, I figured I will do those on the next set, when the warranty expires. So instead I went with the 35 KO2 E rated and in stock. Amazing difference with the new tires, very quiet and smooth.

Also, I had intended to go with the "blacked out" look, but decided instead to add more "colorful mods" in the future. Therefore I went with the white lettering out. This is my first time on any car or truck with the white letters out, but I think they look pretty good.

I will start adding more mods as money allows. Any suggestions on what mod I should do next are welcome. Hmmm, perhaps a lift kit I spotted at the tire place

I would go with 3.0's next. That will help with any mod you have next. Do you have stock rear leafs still? Upgrade those. That was probably the single best mod I have ever done. Really improved the ride quality!!!

Thanks, that's what I was thinking too. I've read more than one owner who needed to rebuild the stock shocks before 50K miles, so I'll keep them high on my mod priority list.

I haven't researched the rear leafs springs yet. Which make/model did you get?

Currently have Deaver +3's, but they are starting to sag. Going with WSI HD's next as they seem to be holding their arch much better.

If you are mainly street use, Deaver +2 or WSI SD would be good for you. It really takes away that wondering rear-end feeling you get on the off ramps at high speeds.....

Love the white letter out!

Redid glove box aux connections 1-4

Fixed 42" radius front bumper light

Made brackets and installed 42" straight bar behind grill

Cut three trees down in our garden

Wired up canopy dome and brake lights

Didn't get a chance to wire up the rear bumper lights but, hopefully in the morning I'll get a chance to knock those little ******* out.

Another vote for rear spring upgrade. I have Deaver +3's and difference is substantial.

Applied the new Ceramic Trim Coating to the plastic wheel well liners and the plastic Vortex mud flaps. This coating will make it much easier to clean these this winter, and should last about a year. It also darkened them up nicely.

your good way to have a link

washed mine I still need to start over starting to get build up.

I've had my flares coated with Line-X. Do you know if this will work on that and bring life back into its original black color?
