    So, What did you have to do to get YOUR Raptor?

    All it took was a trip to the rodeo where she looked at one in the Ford booth....plus the death wobble on the jk was getting ridiculous. Less than a month later I had my Raptor.

    Turbo?

    To keep it easy you could do a "sts style" setup if there is space available for all the tubing and hoses. I haven't given it a look to see it that would even be possible.

    Perch Mod Discussion

    I'd never ask him to pay for it, the old man has helped me through the thick and thin. He felt bad enough as is, we got it back together. I'll probably have a box from rpg under the Christmas tree though. All I can say I'm glad he's still around so we can work on cars and go fishing

    Texas Raptor Run April 18-21 2013

    I hope I can make this one, the last one I was out of town. Now I've got a baby on the way and don't know if the boss will let me go. I really wanna check out Texana Ranch since my wife said I could build a class 11 or 9 when the kid is old enough to race.

    Pro Comp tires

    I had the non extreme a/t on my jk. Compared to the bfg's there is no huge difference...ok in sand and horrible in mud but on the street they were smooth and quit.
