bronco raptors are dropping in price pretty fast. theres a dealer near me that has two on the lot for 5k off sticker. They have been on the lot for more than 30 days now
copying AAL's design, but i do like the use of a viair compressor as well as the 1 gallon tank. (Im an oldschool mintrucker and loved viair back in the day)
Notes from my install:
the “turn knobs” create a wind catch that causes the top to whistle. Use a factory button head bolt.
installing the cross bar in the front location causes the rear to flap excessively
installing it in the rear causes the front to flap.
Still garbage
lucky.. I completed a 1900 mile drive this past friday through Sunday.. 16.1 average at 75-80mph the whole way..
granted i am lifted 2" on 37's at 36,000 miles lol
For the record, just completed a 1900 mile drive this past friday to sunday. 500 friday, 650 saturday, and 690 on sunday.
rear strut mod was done 6500 miles ago at this point. somewhere between 1200 and 1500 of that being trails and backroads.
Missed this post..
zero cons from relocating the rears up. Pros are free-ish (spent $6 or so on 4 washers), and way more ground clearance without worry of damaging the brackets
I didn’t have skids on the rear struts to begin with, so not sure on remounting them. I don’t see why you couldn’t...
