    GEN 1 How many miles are you guys getting out of your Deavers?

    Big Johnson, I've got about 25,000 miles on my 4.5 Deavers. I went through RPG and discussed my needs, and my principal use of the Raptor. I primarily drive on sand and high speed graded roads with about 600# in bed/cab. I have the RPG RST 16 rear suspension with Fox 3.0's up front. The...

    Booth9999, Reading your post I was sure you were 16-17 years old....but you're 39! Do you really think that vendors here have nothing better to do than read every post looking to sell you a Pro Eagle Jack? And if one does respond do you really want to buy from someone trolling the forum...

    BAK Revolver X4 Install

    volfan615, You need to adjust the clamps that hold the rails to the bedside. The right side needs to be raised 1/16-1/8". Easy peasey! Eddie

    Murs

    Noah, Really? You should know better...you're never wrong! Yes MURS are 5 low power frequencies in the VHF radio. Legally you are limited to 5 watts transmitting power on these frequencies, and most,(All?), VHF radios that transmit on these frequencies are limited to low power. Most of...

    Beach cruising

    Linehand, Air down? You need fatter tires! Just kidding. I grew up in Montauk and have driven thousands of miles in the sand. Generally the lower the pressure the better. Keep in mind that blowing a bead in sand sucks! I usually go down to about 20 or so. In the sand momentum is...

    IT'S Official TRX coming

    Truckzor, The electric motor does not need a transmission. 100% torque from 0 to 10,000+ rpm. One could have direct drive to all four wheels. The limiting factor is battery technology. Or until we perfect Nikola Tesla's wireless technology.... Eddie

    2019 Raptor Intel

    Adam Ratatat, The bent frames occurred in the early years. There was a stamped frame hole that weakened the frame near the bumps. Landing from a jump/whoop with too much force resulted in the rear axle impacting the frame bumps and the frame rails compressing. The signature finding was the...

    Deavers help with Rear Sagging under load?

    TxRaptor, The RPG drop shackles allow the use of longer leaf springs by moving the pivot point upwards. Longer spring packs allow a smoother ride, as well as more droop; which allows the rear tires to remain in contact with the road when travelling at speed over rough terrain/crawling over...

    Gen1 lower control arms

    Agibson87, Where are you located? The south west is the hotbed of offroading, home of ORW, RPG, SVC, Outlaw Offroad, etc. I would contact one of these shops and ask if they have any take offs. Unfortunately the lower A-arms are stout, and unless you are determined to have twin shocks or...
