Depends really. A full cage like mine bumper to bumper I’d have to see 25k minimum. More if the truck came to me assembled.

 

Yeah same
Gotta be a MINIMUM of 15k even if you have fully stripped the whole ass truck imo

 

@Pittsy

You need one of these Rear Differential Covers for the Raptor...adds extra Horse Powers and Social Media Clout

 

Damnnnnnn sonnnnnn.

I just got done ripping out the integrated radar detector and the botched wiring for the rigids in the bumper. Got rid of all that crap.

also got the bedside repainted.


The radar install was super bubba’d. got a new rear bumper plastic cover on the way and installed a new front lower grille since they chopped it up with tin snips…

Im currently hardwiring a uniden R8 into the mirror.

 

I can imagine how bad the wiring was.. you should see some of the Buy Backs are wired, and some of that mess that we have to deal with is supposedly from actual Shops that did the install

Edit: I have a Raptor buy back that I'm currently dealing with that the customer took out one last time before the turn in. Water and mud intrusion found in the CAC Tubes and CAC and past the Thottle Body. I've never seen a lower Turbo CAC Tube melted at the Turbo. The turbo seized which contaminated the rest of the turbo air distribution system with metal debris. The entire Turbocharger system needs to be replaced including the CAC and Intake Plenum..about 18k parts and labor so far, but the quote is growing..

 

Ford took the cab off to fix the timing cover leak and replace all 4 phasers and oil pan and valve covers. They replaced everything you suggested and spark plugs. They said there were 19 aftermarket wires preventing the cab from coming off that they had to cut and re splice afterwards. Guess who spent 3 hours pulling that shit out the day it came back lol.

also, my intercooler charge pipe never got clamped so it blew off. They took care of that the next day though. Those pipes had so much oil in them. Would love to put an air oil separator in, but I’m a day late and a dollar short on that one with 140k miles.

I do have a question for you. Would it be wise to do a drain and fill and filter change on this trans? Or is that a bad idea? Doing both diff’s and tcase next week, and brake fluid. I got new coolant and oil(again) when they did the reseal.

 

Wouldn't hurt to Drain And Refill with a new filter for the Trans. It's fairly simple to do like any other sealed trans thats out there.

That stupid CAC Tube LOL...I've learned to remove the CAC Tube in its entirety, instead of separatingat the hose clamp from the Lower Piece.

 

yeeeeeeeah

 

Cant wait to get rid of my bronco. counting down the days.

 

That's talent.

 

What kind of bronco?

 

not sure if this got posted in here already, but really good info about how mig process works, and how if it looks like dimes, it's probably not a strong mig weld. Anybody that went to school for welding already knows this of course.

 

Ehhh, that’s a pretty false statement really. All depends how you run the gun etc. you can in fact get straight dimes with solid penetration.

 

This

 

Can pretty much guarantee it wouldn't pass x-ray in any application that requires it.

 

Will the tundra front diff fit or what will it take to fit? I was considering trying fit one since the rear, steering rack are tundra. Front diff is now the weak point

 

They are really big, so you'd have to do a lot to get it in there. but it would be possible.

 

You are wrong and making yourself look bad really quickly.

 

I'm still working on it, so don't have a clear answer for you yet.
