What did u do to your raptor today?

Installed new upper control arm and replaced torn inner CV boot. And also replaced bad hub actuator all on driver side!!

Not necessarily today, long overdue. Added a Softopper a few months ago prior to a 3-week long road trip. My significant other and myself are under 6' so it worked out well with a sleeping platform and camping gear stowed under.

Also had the shocks rebuilt with Geiser springs, pretty nice difference in the ride quality.

@RaptArAz how does that mount into the box. Any drilling involved. Also ease of removal/install?

Installed radar detector mirror mount and mirror tap cable so everything tucked up there cleanly.


Replaced front brake pads and rotors. Just went with the Powerstop Z36 pad and rotor combo since no money right now for BBK. Feels like might have a little more stopping power but nothing crazy. While under there cleaned some of the tough to reach suspension components.


Best part of it was my 11 year old son took interest in helping me in the garage and put down the game controller for little bit.


Next things to do is install pedal commander when it comes in later this week and figure out why my front camera doesn't work. Won't turn on at all anymore. Fuses fine so guessing electrical issue somewhere. No offroad trips planned until October and not sure this trip will even require it but don't like things not functioning.

No drilling at all. It mounts to the bed rails with clamps (you can see the clamps on either side, one near the cab and the other near the tailgate).

It took about 45 minutes to install as I had to remove the existing OEM tonneau. When stowed it folds down to the cab (like a tonneau cover rolled-back) which takes a just a few moments. Comes off entirely by disconnecting a cleavis pin in the center and unfastening two straps on each side.

Removed the dealership installed Bull Bar and moved the KCHiLites Bar to the lower grill pocket. Very tight fit and the bumperetts were a PITA!

Drove to San Diego to check out the sunset at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma

Put a coating of C2V3 on my wheels to protect them from all the road grime and brake dust. Hopefully this will keep the black wheel looking great for a long time!

Got the oil changed and tires rotated, asked them to check out my 4Low noise and got a call saying they were able to recreate it and that they want me to bring it back next week to see what needs to be repaired. Thankfully I'm at 57k miles so it should be under warranty, even if they replace the whole transfer case.

They also tried to up sell a battery too. Jokes on them, I was already planning on getting an Odyssey battery later this month.

Raptor posse! Fully bolt on bumper built for another Raptor enthusiast!
