What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

Going to Texas Motorworx Prerunner day at TexPlex tomorrow and needed a fire extinguisher. Bought the H3R MX250B fire extinguisher and the Drake mount. Installed it against the plastic cargo tray under the driver side rear seat. Used 1/4”-20 x 1” black flat head cap screws, black rubber washers, and 1/4”-20 stainless steel nylon insert lock nuts.

I made a full day exercise out of installing Geiser springs. Ended up doing a last minute run to O'Rielly's to borrow every set of spring compressors they had after I couldn't get the job done with my $25 Amazon set.

I got there in the end but, **** me it wasn't fun.

I have the same planned for mine but hope I don’t have to deal with that. I have a clamshell type compressor. If that doesn’t work I’ll have to take them in to a shop.

You should be good with a better compressor. If anyone is using regular threaded rod compressors I would suggest 2 pairs and don't press from too close to the ends or you will bind the compressor hooks.

Accessing shock top bolts on the passenger side is also a bit of a ball ache but the rest is easy.

If you have easy access to a shop with better equipment get them to do the pressing. If not you'll manage I'm sure.

Glad you got that done without injury, that looked sketchy! I'm taking mine to a local shop.

Wall mounted compressor!

Actually installed Bora 1.25” spacers yesterday but just getting around to posting.
I think the 1.25” pushes the OEM beadlocks our just right.

Up early to beat the heat. Despite my hangover I finished up my BD unlimited install. Once I located the uplifter bundle it was easy peasy. Threw on some Husky mudflaps. Spent 20 minutes wrestling with a Husky wheelwell liner before deciding it probably wasn’t worth it. Man, I love this truck!
Next on the list is stick in my JLT catch can.

Foamed using new Kranzle setup. Need to make some adjustments as the foam was not as thick as I would like. Will try more soap thoroughly mixing in foam cannon.

JLT catch can installed too. Was so simple I thought I must be missing something [emoji2371] Be interesting to keep an eye on how much it collects. Truck has 800 miles up till this point, so I’m not too worried about build up yet
