    GEN 2 800A+ Offroad Build

    I have been driving a crew cab Silverado 2500 HD Duramax for a little over a year now. Pure street machine, offroads like crap which is fully expected for a truck like this. Mostly finished my current project which was a RZR and is now looking at what I am going to build next. RZR is called Old...

    Tapatalk is crazy, I didn’t see these posts in my notifications. I appreciate the strong interest from a few members. At this time I am not making them. The actual part would be a bolt on affair but the skid plate has to be carved on to make enough clearance to get the pin in and out making...

    Crazy, thanks for posting a sighting. Maybe someone will see it at the other end. I should make a bunch of the combo hooks, if only that pesky day job didn’t take so much time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Taoseno has a nearly identical Raptor to mine and he is close enough to work on another set of receiver mounts so there is still hope for all those that are interested in them. It will be a little while though, I have some trips coming in the next few weeks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk...

    GEN 2 800A+ Offroad Build

    After a very long and dangerous drive home with my new custom aluminum toyhauler, I have to sell the Raptor. My trailer came out 1000 lbs heavier than the estimate they provided to me at the time of my deposit and more importantly, the tongue load is around 25%, not 10-15% of the trailer...

    who is getting inner tire rub on drivers side fender well?

    No rubbing but the lowest pressure I have run is 30. 10 psi and jumping doesn't sound like a good idea, beadlocks or not. I am assuming you are running in the sand at those pressures. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    We were on the other side of Powell. Up Montezuma Canyon from the Hatch trading post to Monticello (dirt), along the north end of Twin Peaks, past Newspaper Rock (both pavement), up Beef Basin Road and around Beef Basin Loop (and spurs, all dirt), down FR93, across Gooseberry Rd through the...

    GEN 2 800A+ Offroad Build

    I did my first multi-day trip and the truck worked pretty good over the area I covered in Southern Utah. The one major issue I identified is my antenna mount isn't going to work in the current location. I knocked it off no less than 5 times when I was running at higher elevation where there...

    SVCOFFROAD C.A.S. Coil Adjustment System

    How long are you gonna make us wait??? I pick up my trailer in June and I sure would like to have it before I pull it a few thousand miles. Planning some offroad trips too and it is good to go right now but this would be some nice insurance. Glad to see you are addressing the spanner pins...

    Truck died. Gen2.

    Remove the tire or crank the steering to lock each way to allow you to get a good view directly above the turbos (near the firewall, not the front if you don't know what a turbo looks like). Checked mine when I had it apart for the SVC CAS install. Yanked on the harnesses in the general area...

    SVCOFFROAD C.A.S. Coil Adjustment System

    Yes, it has to be done because Fox decided to make the cap a larger diameter than the shock body which prevents removal of the stock collar and installation of the SVC one. The kit includes very nice replacement valves and caps with o-ring seals. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Got my SVC coilover preload adjusters on Friday and installed them in the snow today. It's always the best when your truck is too big to fit in your garage and you have the wheels off in the driveway when it is snowing! The install took 4 hours which isn't too bad. Getting these coilovers off...

    Don't get all butthurt

    Shutdown is at 107mph with a speed limiter. The power is there to go much faster, same with gears and rpm. Not much a concern to me, already fast enough for every situation outside of a long dry lake run. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Engine disintegration update

    Sorry to hear this. Fortunately, members like smurfslayer, on here with solid information on how to proceed. I opened a case with Ford regarding my missing parts and damage, going slow but looks like they are going to provide an extended warranty for all the trouble. Sent from my iPad using...

    SVCOFFROAD C.A.S. Coil Adjustment System

    ETA to my door, Friday! Hopefully I can install this weekend, if not it will be next weekend. Will the instructions come with different preload values to approximate lift? You have the 2" listed above, not sure I want that much and I am a SCAB but with some additional weight from my skids. I...
