OK cool. I will check that area out. I put in a Buy Back request on my current Raptor since they can't get a replacement steering rack and they have no ETA.
It's been a few months since I was on Ford.com and looking at truck availability. I see plenty of R version but hardly any 2022 or 2023 regular models. In some metro areas I see no Raptors for sale. What happened? Did they all sell out and now just waiting for 2024's to come out? Or is the...
I went through all this in around Feb/March of this year. All CA dealers were trying to charge $5k to $10K over sticker. I got a 2022 37" package out of Indiana for sticker and paid $2,500 to get it shipped to me in Lake Tahoe area. Note that the 2022 was $5k less than the sticker on a 2023...
Nope. Facts are correct. It happened. Both sides bent as pictured. I was in 4H off-road mode. Guys I spoke to at shop in So Cal have seen this 5 times on Gen 3.
Ya I agree. 32 psi is what we used on our prerunners. We are Offroad everyday so airing up and down is not practical. When I get the truck back I will run at 32 psi. Also depends on the tire make. The dealer set it at that and I never bothered to change it.
Both tie rod bent to the same amount and both bent inwards. To bend out would be to break it. So the truck was pigeon toed. I am trying to envision how an off angle impact would bend both tie rods inward.
RPG or FMI Greg Foutz stuff won't break. But you MUST make sure you seal up the replacement boots really well to prevent water and duster from getting into the rack.
The lemon-vibe comes from front hub nuking when just spinning tires in snow, then transfer case making coffee grinder noises while I waited 6 weeks to get into service, shifter never seemed to align correct to markings, driver seat making a funny drop sensation and feeling like it was uneven...
Ya I am feeling lemon-ish. However I have the extended warranty. SO far it sounds like Ford is going to fix all my complaints. Thanks for the shock info.
I think the tire PSI was 40+. Maybe 45 PSI. Normally in past trucks I would run at 32 to 35 PSI.
I am hearing the new Broncos and...
Hi All. I have had several Raptor. They have been my daily driver since 2011. I have taken them to the extreme (but this post is about my 2022 stock G3 37 package). I was bothered last month with driving my 2022 G3 37' tire package when I bent both front tie rods after hitting a minor rut at...
No time to drive to TRR. Engine is stock except for UMP filter, 5 star 91 tune, and headers. Fiberglass hood flips forward. Gives u WAY better access to engine.

My two prior races were in Barstow...
Lap times are up. Our first lap was 2 hrs flat which I have to say seems pretty awesome compared to times posted by a lot of much much more expensive and more powerful custom pre runners. Go to the below link and scroll down to the 1800 class. I am truck number 1841. The other Raptor built...
That was in regards to the starting line-up. No one was giving us direction and the guy at the light was jumping up and down trying to get anyone to come up to the start light. Getting the racers staged looks like herding a bunch of cats. The guy at the light was stressing out a bit and...
What did you race? What was your number?
Lap times are up now here:

Thats the noise of by-pass shocks. It never goes away...
For all those who say it can't be done I just want to say oh yes it can. This weekend we raced in class 1800 in the Mint 400. Our class did 2 laps. My Raptor has been 4 linked by H&M Racing Design. Kevin (Owner at H&M) has been my co-driver for 3 races now. I am having H&M build me a 6100...
The LA Police Gear 4 link Race Raptor will be at Raptor alley. We are racing it in 1800 class. It has already raced the last two MORE races. H&M Racing has done an incredible job with the suspension and race prep.
Or do this to your Raptor... from H&M Racing. Suspension kicked butt in two MORE races and now we do the Mint 400 next week.

For you guys asking why don't we do simple modifications you really need to look at a diagram or schematic of the raptor IWE and spindle. The design is completely different than the F250. If an aftermarket solution was easy to make it would've already been done. I have a 2012 raptor with...
I have been battling this problem from day one with my 2012 Raptor. I have replaced the hubs and accuators three times. I just put new ones on driver side this weekend. On my first hill climb I get the loud pop bang noise and my front drivers side wheel stops spinning. The IWE gears have...
