  • Anyone here have a connection with Ford that wants to help me.

    Yea this wouldn't be a lemon law issue. To old. But still under warranty.


    I'm just tired of paying for a Raptor and driving and Lariet. I'm tired of not having tinted windows. I'm tired of swapping loaner trucks and moving my stuff from one truck to another. They don't let the miles get over 3000 on the loaner vehicles.. I kept one for several thounds of miles and they freaked. They didn't remember I had it I guess.

  • What was today's Sling project-Mods , goodies....?

    It was time for a new coat of white. I was thinking about thinning down the Raptor Liner. However after I thought about it I decided to just do base coat / matte clear coat. Artic White to be exact. First coat of base coat has been laid down. I will put one more on and then finish it off with matte clear. Hopefully I will have some surprises to post over the weekend. I can't show it all today. But soon. I may have to finish the rest in my shop. Just depends on the wind tomorrow. You get one shot on the clear. It can't be sanded or buffed. So what you spray is what you get.

    got 2 calls yesterday afternoon.


    1st call was from the Service Advisor..... He said Ford had finally authorized a whole new transmission.


    2nd call was from the Dodge RAM dealer in Pell City... Apearantly they have this sitting in the showroom. And Apearantly I have 1st dibs on it since it was ordered with the options I asked for.




    Now we all would agree that this TRX is already super expensive. In the real world we should be trying to get them to come off of the sticker price and possibly drop the price down to 82 or 83 grand.


    I was having a weak moment and offered him MSRP for the truck.. However the salesman was sticking to his quote and added $10,000.00 to the sticker.



    After sleeping on it I'm glad he turned my offer of MSRP down. If I ever get my Raptor back I have warranty coverage till 12/31/2022 or 125,000 miles. I only like 22 more payments and I'll have the title to it. With business being really sketchy now I really don't want to worry about making 72 or 84 more payments of 1500.00 on a new truck.


    So if someone wants a new loaded out white RAM TRX I know where one is sitting you can buy.

    well I still don't have my truck back. I was told last monday that they just needed to repair one seal in the valve body and it would be fixed.


    Friday rolled around and I got the call that it was leaking from that seal worse than when they started.


    So I asked the Service advisor what they would do now. ....he said they didn't know..


    So basically it's still broken the exact same as it was the day I dropped it off on November 9th.


    I don't know what to do anymore. .....

    rabtech Are you guys running on a track? We have no roads around here that have a posted Limit of 90 mph. 70 is about it.

    I probably need to let someone else answer for me on that question. Lol ;)


    I do run mine at the 1/2 mile and 1 mile events. It has ran 150mph at the 1 mile event. Behind Dave at DDMWorks where he ran 158mph.


    I do run wide open in the mountains when I get the chance. Usually on the skyway and around Deals Gap where there are really no entrances and no driveways.


    I try to keep it under 90 on most roads that have traffic. 8o

    Are you in love with the quad kit?

    Asking for a friend 😉

    I do love it. Mainly because it let's me get a grip when taking off from a dead stop. All the spinning is greatly reduced and it pulls like a train when taking off. It shifts so quick through the first 3 gears that your running 90mph in just seconds. .


    Also with one tire you can't really keep the rear from getting to far out when sliding. With 2 back there it is much more driftable. It's still a handful but I am learning.

    OUTSTANDING!!! :thumbsup:

    Thank you sir...



    I still need to mount a battery box for my winch. I need to cut my new safety chains down to length. And lastly I am removing the bolt on spare tire carrier and welding it permanently on.


    Trailer rolled back and laid perfectly down and the nose of the slingshot didn't even touch the trailer at all.
