    I love Raptors! Your truck is awesome. I'm not in the market for another truck but if I could get a Super Crew Raptor I would do it in a heart beat.

    I've never been a fan of the looks of Ford trucks past the 60's but, I think the raptor is one bad ass looking Ford truck. I like your mods and even though I am a convert to partial or full de badging I personally like the looks of the bold F-O-R-D as opposed to the oval. That along with the hood vents gives it a tougher stance. :cheers:

    Last month we had an event at Rausch Creek Offroad Park. Mix of tehcnical and high speed stuff. Got after it a little too hard and found a couple weak links...

    With my upgraded 3.0" shocks and lower offset wheels, I am putting a tremendous amount of stress on the tie rods and steering knuckles. I recently replaced both of my steering knuckles with gusseted knuckles from SDHQ Offroad.

    At the same time, I opted for their 1.25" nickle plated Chromoly heim joint tie rods with a double shear connection.

    Now, either I'm going to beat the snot out of my steering rack or start ripping mounts off the chassis before I have any component problems!
