Figured I would start a build log on this truck.
2012 Tux Black - Raptor - SCREW - Nav - Moon roof.
This is my 2nd Raptor after trading in my 2011 that had a small trans hic-up
Got some nice upgrades in the trade in with front camera, Torsen front dif and a/c seats.
I am not a hard core off roader, but I do enjoy blasting down the Texas beaches and I want the ability to go on some hard core Raptor adventure in the future with confidence I wont be breaking the weak points on the truck.
Plan:
Whipple supercharge - Done
Deaver +2 rear springs - Done
SDHQ Trophey front bumper with lights - Done
SDHQ upgrade front skid plates - Done
SDHQ Trophey rear bumper - will be ordered shortly
Mid perch mod - Done
Semi-gloss black fender flares - Done
Semi-gloss black grill - Done
Outlaw Raptor rear frame gusset and bump stop - will be ordered soon
Stock exhaust with Magnaflow cat-back - will be ordered soon
Deep sump Aluminum transmission pan - on order
Tru-cool 40,000 btu transcooler plumbed in place of stock cooler - on order
SDHQ alternator upgrade - Done
Later mods:
Upper control arms
Tie rods
front half shafts
When stock Fox Shocks give out I will replace them with the 3.0 kit.
8 rib belt kit if it can be done
Warn 9.5 winch
Whipple install will be upgraded with a double pass heater exchanger with fans and Meziere 20gpm water pump. (greatly improves intercooler efficiency)
Will post some pics of the truck in a day or so. (my camera broke after a short fall to some hard concrete the other day )
