The seats are now mounted to the cage. The rear seat cross bar goes from the driver side to the passenger side and has to sneak over the transmission tunnel yet remain under the e-brake housing. Hopefully now that the seats are in the remaining bars of the cage will go in a bit quicker. Both the...

In these next pictures you will see the fully disassembled dash and see how the cage goes through the dash, then through the floor. All of the mounting points of the cage go through the body and will mount directly to the frame. I am a beginner tube bender so I have to thank my brother Nate for...

Update time. Well in the stock class of King of the Hammers you canstretch your wheelbase a total of 3". The limit is 98.4" for a stock class 2 door JK to pass tech inspection. I am shooting for 98.25". I decided that I wanted to get 1.75-2" in the front and around 1" stretch in the rear. To...

I actually did brace the frame. The last 2 pictures in the first post show what I did. I plated the outside of the frame in the area where the bend occurs. The TeraFlex Speed Bumps replaced the factory bump stops in the rear. The factory bump stops are inside the frame and the Speed Bumps were...

I even tried out the Off Road Course at Miller Motorsports Park. After some time in the dirt, on the rocks, and on the short course I decided to see how it does in the air. Expedition One was out at MMP doing a segment on the Off Road School and on the Jeep Programs. When it was done we decided...

When it was all said and done my least favorite part of the build was the fiberglass fenders from Glassworks. They took so much work to make them fit it was ridiculous. I liked learning the ins and outs of the Ford Raptor. I am considering selling this truck and getting another one to take a few...

I wanted to have the only Raptor on 38" tires at the Sema Show. Since the truck was being used by Black Rock Wheel and they were featuring a new 20" wheel they have coming on in early 2012 I got a set of (5) 38x14.50r20 BFGoodrich Mud TerrainTA KM2 for the truck. I had to trim the back of the...

I took took the top 2 leafs and the anti wrap leaf of the deavers and set them under the truck with the factory block to simulate the full deaver spring pack and cycled the suspension. You can see how the springs bowed the wrong way and they still had 2" more uptravel before compressing the...

In the previous pictures you will see the front diff. Ford went to a 31 Spline front diff for the Raptors and there are no offered limited slips or lockers for the Ford Raptor Front 8.8. I started doing some research and found that Ford used a 31 spline rear diff in some independent rear...

I built a Ford Raptor for Black Rock Wheel to use in their booth at the Sema show this past November. I figured that I would post up the build of the Raptor and show everybody the fun you can have in your off road vehicle at Miller Motorsports Park. First off I started with a 2010 Supercab...

The pics in the previous post are how the Jeep looked when I got it. I have pretty much gutted the interior, removed the axles, suspension, bumpers, and fuel cell. The fun will start tomorrow. The picture of the axles are my housings at TeraFlex last Friday.

When Ultra 4 decided to add a stock and stock mod class to the Ultra 4 Series it got me thinking pretty serious about competing. I finally pulled the trigger on a wrecked 2008 2-door Jeep Wrangler. I wanted to do a JK because thats what I usually build and drive. I started working on this Jeep...

It looks like we are going to try to make this happen. It would be great to get as many of you out as possible for this event. It will be free to spectators to watch and hangout.

Here is a question for RME Members. If I was able to put an event together at Miller Motorsports Park on Friday August 12th from 4:00pm to 8:00 pm that allowed participants to bring their Jeeps, Toyotas,Dodge, Ford, Chevy, utv's, etc. out to the MMP facility to run on the dirt Short Course used...
