Hey everyone!

Been lurking the forum for quite a while now, finally decided to join in. Back in October I became the second owner of a stock 2011 Oxford White Raptor with 111k miles on it. I'd attach a picture of the window sticker, but it's stuck together from being folded for so long.

To prove I didn't buy a prius, here she is right after I got her:

She now has 116k miles on her. I've done a couple things to fix some issues and dress her up a little:
  1. Fuse 27 Relocation
  2. Larger Trans Cooler
  3. Mirror Reflector Delete
  4. IWE Vacuum line replacement
  5. Weathertech Floor Mats
  6. Updated Sync
  7. Blower Motor Control Module replacement
  8. Stubby Antenna
Truck and I are registered for Durhamtown in March, which will be our first real off-road event together. We've been tearing up back roads around our farm though. Bumptstops and replacing the shocks are must-dos before I head down.

Happy to finally of joined, and hope to not only learn a lot more from everyone, but find some Raptor owners to explore with as well!

Thank you sir. I have been enjoying her quite a lot. Unfortunately one of my shocks decided to leak down so I've parked it temporarily. Don't want to cup the tires!

I don't think the tire will cup, I drove for a month with a blown shock nothing happen.
And even if it does, you only need to throw it on the rear and it will remove any cupping.

Interesting. I know when I ran a bad shock on my super duty it cupped like crazy, but that's definitely a different use case.

I'm missing the remote start feature with as cold as it's been this week. Perhaps I'll chance it and keep running it. Tires are almost five years old anyway, so I don't have much to lose.
