    "Famous Raptor" FOR SALE, '10 6.2 w/ lots of mods

    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...

    My custom "minimalist" rear bumper

    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...

    ADD/King bump stop kit is on

    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...

    Possible fix for front end rattle

    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...

    Want your perch mod done in AZ?

    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...

    Another SOCOMech presentation......now with Go-Pro!

    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...

    Recent fly-by vids

    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...

    EXCLUSIVE: Whipple 2.9 for 6.2 info released

    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...

    AFE & Airaid experiment

    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...

    93 oct. only after mods?

    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...
