So as it turns out i have the 1.25 ball joints in the UCA. So still working on the issue with Stock wheels. Would the shock perch adjustment have an effect on the UCA being slightly tilted due to higher shock position? Currently in the middle or 2nd position .

Nice picture, did they ask you not park there too :) Anyways my knuckle isnt bent and will be looking into a fix 1 way or the other. I have been going to Baja for the last 18 years mostly on a bike from San Felipe to Lapaz or Cabo then back on our yearly 2 week trip to the sun. In...

What is the exact spacing/ off set needed for wheels? The newer wheel spacers are not a blank block with holes in it . They attach with the stock bolts and then the spacer it self has its own bolts. Mechanical attachments would be similar to stock with no more no less stress on individual...

Yes , but wouldn't a wheel spacer do the same thing. And why didn't Camberg not specify the need for additional spacing when it was supposed to be a direct replacement for upper A arm. The stock tires rubbed also, i checked them as well.

I will look at the paperwork from original install if it is the 1.25 or stock set up rather than the 1.5 , what would be the next step?

So how is that done ? swamping out the whole UCA or changing the Ball itself.

Thanks Pacific Wheel , the ones you suggested are the ones on the truck now, i believe..

I am not apposed to removing the inner wheel cover and re working the metal behind it , just not sure of what is needed , some pictures of what was done on others trucks would be helpful rather than just guessing . Thanks for the input in advance.

Leaving San Felipe

This is the area of concern

This is the set up in the back of my Raptor

So when i got back from Baja i had to replace the upper control arm and the factory one isn't serviceable. I had Camburg Upper control arm installed mid perch , stock wheels with 37 x 12.5 x 17 Cooper Discovery Maxx tires. now i have had issues with the hose for the air locker/shiftier system to...

I took my Raptor to BAJA in stock form and had a great time with no issues down and back. But now with 37s

Done and Done ( spending quality time at 13 Coins )

True that a 500 dollar part cost Ford 15k in labor at least and 4 motors complete at 5k a pop, so in total 35k +or- Seems very stupid to me

I know rite?/? I had started another thread on the 6.2 motor section ( So you bought a Raptor) Engine failed on me after 6 days of ownership. Multiple reasons, but in a nut shell. Northwest Trucks/ Sound Ford and Ford of Kenai Alaska kicked the can down the street rather than looking into the...

So after a semi long haul; I finally found out what the problem was with my motor.:mfr_omg: A workmanship issue was the cause, (Thank you Ford of Kenai Alaska & Sound Ford of Renton WA).:shitsweak: The first dealer used the old manifold off the 1st engine that had a rod come apart (thus...

Thanks for the warm welcome; looking forward to seeing some of you out in the desert or Northwest sometime. The truck is currently getting a whole new motor and i will be doing the mid perch adjustment before i take her to Baja in March. I have been looking into suspension upgrades ; however i...

Very nice truck, where did you pick that beauty up ? So where you gonna take her for off road adventures?

Bought a nice 2012 this month; and looking forward to using it as much as possible here and in Baja. I have been going to Baja for the last 15 years or so on a bike and thought a Raptor would be a nice change of pace.

Thanks Braaptr; i can get a complete long block for 4500 ish + core at 800 Debate ; it should have red 65,821 ( fat fingers i guess) . Will get more info next week on what broke or just fell off (rocker is a guess) either way i will get her fixed and down to Baja this year even if it...

I went to pass a car to get into the turn lane, and it died at the light. Started right back up and then the knocking sound from under the hood. I drove it about 100 foot to get out of the road and parked it and called the tow truck. Previous owner was a Coast guard officer who bought it new...

Believe it or not the complete new long block is 4500 and i will be putting in the new one and saving the old one and have it fixed. i will probably upgrade some stuff . Just not sure what needs to be done with the 6.2 cause i am new to this motor. What type of upgrades are required to be in...

No tune, truck was originally bought new in Miami, Florida Stock truck , i crawled all over this truck, no underside damage paint and interior were perfect. It lost a valve i think and was smacking piston. differently a top end issue. Northwest Motor sports sold the truck and the service...

Yes i bought a 2012 crew cab with 69k on it . Had it for 6 days and it blew up:mad: So what's my options for a new motor or is the original motor worth tearing into? And yes for the one's that will ask ; it stalled at a light after passing a car, nothing stupid , just a down shift and then...
