What did u do to your raptor today?

[CoronaRaptor]

No pics, but I used my raptor and 12,500 lb winch to pull my daughter's friend's mom out of the snow... She was checking fence for cattle in a nearby field they are leasing this winter and got her suburban stuck like Chuck. I had her out in a jiffy.

This is your last warning, no pics next time and you get to go stand in the corner and look at pictures of Prius's.

Are those the new fuel avalanche wheels I keep hearing about?

No, I wouldnt put something so garish on my truck. Those are factory beadlocks.

Picked up a pair of cheapy OEM halogen lights for $50 to tinker with. Just spare parts for a future retrofit. In the meantime, I will be doing the retro on my OEM HID's.....well maybe in spring theres some suspension work need to take care of first.

SO those ones are regular f150 lights, right? And you're going to install those while you "play" with your Raptor ones? Cheap enough.

Initially I thought this but I didn’t consider the wiring differences between HID and halogen LOL. I’ve done retrofits in a day or two before so I don’t think it’s gonna be a lot of downtime anyways.

Worst case scenario I have spare OEM lenses that are in good shape

I went khc also and the fit and finish on the are great. I also added a light spray can bedliner to them for added salt and abuse protection. Hopefully both your bed bolt came right out and didnt need to have to cut one out lol.

Cleared off the snow and drove around the side roads and back roads! This was our overnight snowfall, the storm is still going strong. Closest thing this northern Raptor will get to sand dunes...snow drifts!

Tires worked great in the snow, I had BFG's and Nitto's on my last two F150's, but these Duratrac's are now my year-round tire of choice!

Yup way more snow drift up here too lol

Not to be a negative guy. I can no longer support duratracs like i used too. New they’re amazing in snow and off road driving and fairly quiet. 6 months out they seem to go to crap. They wear fast and get noisy, and they eventually get the rumble feel/vibration with braking

Idk if its something they changed or if they are just going cheaper with the quality but i used to run these and really like them. Hopefully it was the last couple sets i had bad luck with and you get a good set.
