New member, no Raptor

littlebeefy · Jun 26, 2023

Hi. I'm Chad. I live in Atlanta, GA. I have a 2022 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch. I also built a really badass 1984 Bronco with a 1969 460 engine, a 1997 F350 manual transmission, a 1979 D44-HP solid front axle, a 1978 NP205 transfer case, 1987 Mustang GT seats and lots and lots of other modifications. My newest modification is installing the Bronco Raptor forged aluminum wheels (which is tricky with externally locking hubs). I like to think of it as a 1984 Bronco Raptor hahaha.

I hope to have it on the road in about a month. I ordered custom BORA sdapters this week after finishing the measurements and Lenny said it will take about 4 weeks to get them. I'm using the opportunity to powdercoat some suspension parts, ceramic coat the headers and pull out the dash so I can replace a cracked heater core. After that I have a list of projects a mile long that I can do without disabling or disassembling the truck.
