what exactly is midtravel??

 

mid travel is a performance suspension that uses a race style, bolt in coilover and stock length arms, usually with a uni-ball upper arm TC, camburg and the stock lower arm

most set up can get about 10" travel, give or take

 

so a camburg uca and king shocks, thats mid travel

 

yup

 

is that what the ford raptor has? mid travel?

 

hahaha nevermind! i thought it was mid travel, there was like 10 of em in san felipe. i felt small

 

without the cool graphics they look so plain, has anyone raced one?

that truck was far from a stock raptor. it had a different motor, front suspension and the rear is linked

prob the closest to stock raptor thats been raced was at this years dakar rally. i took 1st in it's class

a couple of chilean dudes raced another raptor in that race too, i dont know how they finished...

 

Hey guyz, getting started on my rear lt and im plating the frame,question for you what is the process of removing the fuel tank/do i have to bleed the pressure of the system?? and how do i do this?? thanks in advance!!

 

Just drop the tank and elevate the lines. Make sure to tape off the hoses so you dont get debris in there. Just undo lines and un-bolt tank straps.

 

Word!! thanks matt and congrats on the sale....im sure you miss it

 

Thanks man. Here are some pics from the road trip to Phoenix. The new owners won Class 1 in the 2003 Baja 1000. Its safe to say my truck will be getting thrashed soon as well as driven by some talented drivers.

As for the pics: In N Out in Tuscon in Chandler AZ was a treat. Handing over the keys to the new owners was painful. Getting 24mpg while going 90 thru AZ was pretty cool. I got 9mpg going 80 in the Tacoma on the way out there. My two ladies side by side for a final pic was kind of cool.

I also stopped by SDHQ in Chandler and Serena showed me around the shop. Now I know why everyone goes there for work. They are a top notch organization and serious work was happening in there. There were at least 6 guys back there flying around working on Raptors, the FJ, a Tacoma, and an MRAP for a civilian security company. What an amazing shop.

Amaes: I wanted to say whats up but I was only in Chandler for a few hrs at the Subaru dealership and then about 30 minutes at SDHQ. I should have gotten your number beforehand.












And the final good bye. There she goes. Carmen drives away.

 

i'm sure it's a bitter sweet feeling, having sold your truck. congrats but bummer at the same time. i want to get out to AZ and check out SDHQ... i've only heard amazing things about their shop.

at least you know your truck is in good hands and is gonna gets used for what it was built for.

 

that makes just as much sense as my pm
