    Nice and welcome to the group. It's nice to have a positive thread opposed to all the whiny negative ones.

    I just moved to FL from VA, the Raptor saw plenty off road (during hunting season, yeah i hunted on the truck from the day i picked it up) and some beach riding in OBX, but i wasnt hard on it nor pushed it for what it was built for. Nothing to complain about but not much low end torque on the Taco. As for parts, ill probably hold on to everything (still have the original Raptor wheels and tires).

    the Raptor had 85000 miles on when i traded (I'd owned it long enough), ordered the Taco and traded strait up, plus some little perks (no $, not one penny was given).

    just picked it up. rides like dream, much better than i thought it would. they did leave a little too much camber but it should settle some then get it adjusted again.
