Could it be true?! Is this truck really for sale?! Can't believe it myself but, yes. I'm moving on and would love to see this Raptor go to a good home. This truck is no stranger to off roading be it the dunes or open desert but, I'm also a former Ford tech (but still currently a mechanic) who...
With all the talk about the new bumper on the scene and the minmalist look, I figured I'd go ahead and show my rear bumper off. I put this on a few weeks ago, just in time for my Glamis trip. Now you could say that this has some ADD in it, it was made at their shop. The cool thing to me is that...
Went down to ADD on Friday and we got their bump stop kit all installed on my truck. First off....top notch quality in this kit, the welds look great and after seeing it all together, it looks to be super sturdy. One of the best things about this kit is that it can be completely installed...
Bought the NAV-TV from him and he was kind and awesome enough to have it to me the very next day in time for me to install it for a road trip! Packaged nice, instructions and all, unit works like a champ. Thanks Iceman!
Over the past week, I have started to notice a rattle sound from the front that really stands out over choppy stuff and when pulling in and out of the driveway. I also got a call from a Ford service advisor friend of mine asking if I knew of any "front end noises" that same week. Hmmm, looks...
If anyone out there lives in the valley area or can make it this way, I can do your perch mod for you for way less than what a dealer will charge. I can even come to you! Maybe you want to know how to do it but are nervous about messing with the suspension (and a spring that could kill you if it...
Well not my go-pro but my buddy (my normal co-pilot and camera man for my vids, lol) let me use his new one. I'm sold and must invest in one of these immediately. Went out to Four Peaks yesterday and ran this downhill section that has awesome alternating banked turns that you can set the inside...
Ran my local spot last weekend, an awesome giant wash that goes for miles, and my buddy got a couple of vids. There's also some cool trails and a whooped out road leading into it all. There's a nice little jump that used to be an old cattle guard, you have to be careful hitting it though because...
Lethal Performance, unsurprisingly, is the first to receive the official info for Whipple's 2.9 for the 6.2. Very reputable shop and like Livernois, will be very interesting to see what they come up with. But this is the way to go for forced induction on the Raptor as far as I'm concerned...
........Are the bomb. I was down at Rigid today and got to see the new D2's up close and being tested and I gotta say, they are waaay brighter than the standard Dually. I may have to upgrade. Just letting anyone know that if you're on the fence or possibly looking into getting something, the...
What can I say? I had an absolute blast this weekend and the truck ran better than I could've hoped for.....not to mention grabbed alot of attention at a packed Glamis sand drags. Here's a few vids we caught while there....enjoy the soundtrack:naughty:
One of maaaany runs down the sand drags...
FYI the other "CLUNK" threads have been merged with this thread. We absolutely want to hear about member's CLUNK issues and resolutions but we don't need several threads on the topic! Thanks- BIRDMAN

Had the scale handy and got curious about the weight of a couple of items.
Stock front bumper/Rigid 20" and dually combo - Bumper, lights, mounts, tow hooks - 87lbs.
EDIT* - that also includes the front stock skid plate, which IIRC, was around 15lbs.
Method w/ stock BFG - 85lbs.
I...
Seeing as I've had a few invites from friends to go to Glamis next weekend, I figured I need to just bite the bullett and get these mods done......well ok, it was the headers I wasn't looking forward to. Finally had the time this weekend and got them in.
First and foremost, HUGE props to Mike...
Sneek peek for now but I wanted to get this up here, it was an idea I had been kicking around for a while. I was out messing with it this morning to make sure it would work and all is good so far.......can you see it?:naughty:

This is just for stock lower box but I plan on modding...
So I picked my truck up today from ADD (WOO-HOO!) and while there, a friend of mine stopped in to talk to them about a bumper. I had my AFE intake with me and he already has the Airaid intake on his truck. I had a hunch about the intake lid sealing to the hood.....actually, I had the hunch that...
Saw where another reputable tuner is saying that you can only run 93 (not sure about 91) octane after doing long tubes and CAI and that pinging will insue if you don't. Have you had any issues like that? I already have your SCT xcal3 but still need to contact you about my tunes.....I will have...
Figured I'd give a little progression session of my Raptor. I'll start with a couple of shots from right after I first got it last April and did the pickuptrucks.com/Fourwheeler Magazine to Method's, to Rigid's, to ADD and now.

Here's a short vid Ford did, like the first one, on the recent Roundup. Nothing spectacular but figured some might want to see it. My truck is the one with the American flag in the back.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlDZ1DkqJlU
So I guess I've been rather fortunate with my Raptor and the opportunities that I've had. PUTC article, Fourwheeler Magazine article and of course my work with Rigid:rockon: Well I got into another cool deal yesterday when my newly ADD'd/Rigid 40" combo look made it's way into the photoshoot for...
