[QUOTE="PD1744, post: 1561812, member: 39284"] Thank you sir! Gorgeous rig you got there. Yeah, A/C is where I'm happy with it now. I really didn't see anything in the evap core out of the ordinary. Just pinning the fresh air door shut made all the difference. Really wish I would have done that before taking it to the dealer, but the haste was just out of making sure my family was comfortable. A secondary bonus I get from always recirculating air is that, before, the cabin used to get really dusty pretty quickly due to lack of a cabin filter. Now it doesn't. As far as what's next; not too terribly much actually: - Still need to do the front diff fluid - After seeing the bushings on the upper arms, I think I'm comfortable just doing the lower ball joints and not fooling with the bushings right now. There's really not a lot of good information on replacement bushings for the lowers and replacing bushings is a PITA. Complete arms are pretty expensive on these as well. - Still need to have a second key made - Down the road I plan on doing the transmission filter and new lead frame while I'm in there. I think I'm actually going to do my first transmission replacement of my father in laws 6R80 on his 2011 F150 next week. We did his FIRST tune-up not too long ago on his work truck with over 300k miles on it. Original plugs. Insane. And it has that 3.7 liter V6 that nobody talks about. - Bedside reinforcement stiffeners - Might investigate a dead pedal option - Deavers at some point That's it really. My progress is slowed by the fact that I'm maintaining/building two rigs at the same time, so I just tackle things as time and budget allow. A couple big'ish' ticket items for the 4Runner coming up (re-gearing and full skids), so that takes attention away from the Raptor, but she's at a point where I'm feeling pretty happy with it (both are really)... As long as nothing else breaks. What's next for you? [/QUOTE]
