    How DSC Works

    Picked up a set of the DSC's this past weekend. I still need to find a qualified Fox shock technician in the Portland, OR area to help install the kit. I've got a good lead from Ben and I'll report back after they are installed and I've had some time to tweak the settings. I already have the...

    Fox DSC Group Buy

    Since I need to make another trip South to visit you guys at some point in the coming months, I might as well jump on this bandwagon. When you get a chance, can you pm me the ballpark particulars? Thanks!

    Just as so many have already said, I'm glad your passenger and you made it through with only minor bumps and bruises. Rollovers, regardless of the vehicle, are a very traumatic experience. The mental shock is absolutely as real as the physical shock. So hang in there, get some rest and don't...

    RADAR Detectors!!

    This is the very reason Escort is coming out with new shifters that you will be able to retrofit to the existing system.

    RADAR Detectors!!

    Keep an eye on Escort as they have an upgraded version of the ZR4 shifters coming out that will be compatible with the current line of detectors. This "kit" will allow you to retrofit the new shifters to your existing installation.

    Cerberos's silver Scab

    New shoes for the Raptor Picked up some new rims for the truck a while back but was a bit slow on getting them color matched to the flares. Rims are KMC XD 125 in 17" x 9" with a +18 offset. I like this setup as it gives us an additional 10mm of clearance at the UCA and only 22mm of...

    Good year duratac

    PropDr is not the only Oregonian running multiple sets of Duratracs! I've never been more satisfied with all-around performance than I am with these tires. Last week I drove from Portland to Irvine (quick visit to RPG) and back without incident or complaint. Tires had, and continue to...

    Madcow launches Raptor

    Outstanding! What is really cool is that it looked to be slightly off camber on the take-off but you still nailed the landing.

    Modded White 6.2 in Orange County, CA

    I've got the "spending" process down pretty good, it's finding time to do the dang installs that elude me! I really like the idea of adding in the WiFi base as the majority of the Lowrance usage would be mapping roads and trails on the ranch with the wife. Using a iPad mini would make it...

    Cerberos's silver Scab

    Switched out the brake fluid this weekend and, as planned, I went with ATE Super Blue Racing Fluid. I also tried out Motive Product's Black Label, power bleeder system, part #0117. The Black Label products feature a machined, red anodized, aluminum brake reservoir cap vs. the standard...

    Cerberos's silver Scab

    For a street driven vehicle, its purely aesthetics. The experts, Stop Tech, Brembo, Willwood, etc. all say that the slots should lead from the outer edge or face forward. But as I previously alluded to, our trucks typically don't generate the extreme high heat levels that cause gas build-up...

    That actually equates to the rim extended an additional 47mm (1.85") over the stock offset. I've tried to stick with the stock geometry, but with RPG UCA w/ 1" bearings and some tires, that is a tight fit. An additional 10mm of clearance would be welcome and not significantly affect geometry...

    Howe Performance new Power Steering System

    Outstanding news, as it's not just the mechanical parts of our steering system but also the hoses that are not up to par with what we are putting these trucks through.

    Cerberos's silver Scab

    As I mentioned some time ago, I've not been all that happy with the brake performance in our Raptors. However, I also was not thrilled with the idea of moving up to 18" rims in order to accommodate an aftermarket "big brake kit." So, instead I've chosen to make a few upgrades to the stock...

    Squatting Dog Racing up to something crazy again

    While there are classifications for "street vehicles" you will find that even they tend to be highly modified/prepped vehicles. Even the exotics from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche etc. are typically worked over. In the open class, dedicated tube frame chassis with 500+ cubic inch, blown...

    Squatting Dog Racing up to something crazy again

    I did this run several times in the late 90's and early 2000's. It's a nearly flat out shot with some sweeping curves and one nasty decreasing radius curve that has bit more than a few contestants. Very, very demanding on the engine and cooling systems. If you choose to do this, you will...

    Cerberos's silver Scab

    Here is one for the collective think tank (FRF)... First of all, some background. I've had a intermittent rattle in my front end since the day I bought the truck in June of 2011. Sounded very similar to an exhaust pipe contacting a heat shield. I can't tell you how many times its been up...

    The Bull Run Rally 2013

    Congratulations to Greg and Sean! What a phenomenal effort and showing. Your experience and knowledge gained in prepping the Raptor for the event plus the real world experience will benefit the entire FRF community/family. What you guys pulled off with a "truck" is nothing short of...

    Nohel's build

    First of all, and most importantly, welcome back and thank you for your service. I see springs, shocks, CAI, exhaust and a LED bar. That's a pretty healthy starting point for your build. So, what else is lurking on that pallet? Looking forward to seeing the truck. :cheers:
