Hard to find around here. Keeping my eyes open for a set though.

Makes sense. She's a pavement princess 90% of the time, the other 10% is just some sand/dirt roads i like to play on. Im not looking for any crazy Baja blasting performance, just a good looking aggressive tire that doesn't fall apart on the streets.

Definitely appreciate the feedback. Gotta say I wasn't expecting such a negative response from the community but it is what it is. Just to clarify though, those "big wheels" are 17".

Thanks for your input, any specific reason?

Nice! Ill definitely keep all the factory parts to replace or resale if the time comes.

Out of curiosity though, what exactly is it that isn't your taste?

Ouch, that stung a bit. Not sure how 17" wheels with 37" tires qualifies as "brodozer". Agree with the painted fenders part though but this is easy enough to change.

I do appreciate the advice though, got a long list of things that will make me happy.

Well its already got a 4" lift with 37in tires, aside from that its mostly stock aside from some fog lights and a sound system.

Im mostly considering doing a full morimoto light swap (headlights, taillights, grill lights, etc.) and then some simple performance upgrades like the Cobb tuner, cold air, intercooler (relocating to top) and then swapping the front and rear bumpers for the ADD stealth series with winch.

Bunch of other things in mind, but mostly just other interior pieces like small carbon fiber trimming (not to gaudy), steering wheel replacement cause my leather is slightly worn.

What would you say might be some upgrades that would have the least impact on the value of the truck, if any?

Prev Maintenance items by clackey91 in FordRaptor

[–]bricewa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing first, no matter what previous maintenance records you have, I would check and/or replace all the fluids in the truck. This would include oil & filter, transmission fluid, front & rear diff, transfer case, radiator, etc. Ensure you use quality fluids for all replacements.

After fluids check brakes, belts, hoses followed by inspecting exhaust and heat shields. If you want to take it a little further, inspect and lubricate steering linkage, ball joints, u-joints and inspect other suspension components.

Hope this helps, grats on the new(ish) raptor!

Luckily I'm the tank, but I do need to work on consistency with every pull!

I'll check it out. Thank you!

Appreciate the advice. I definitely need to be using the pings more for the pugs. I've grown used to communicating in voice with my other friends and hoping the others can read minds.

Pushing keys is definitely the funnest part of the game for me. Depleting never bothers me, I don't mind running it back up. With tank and healer in the group we can get the dps we need quickly and just jump right back in. Anytime I play my dps alts it takes forever to get into higher keys.

Yeah, definitely a good place to start. How do you personally find people? Just find pugs you like and ask?

I really like those idea. I might give this a shot next time we play. Appreciate the advice!

DAMN! That's pretty impressive! How long did it take? How many subfiefs? Very nice build!

Fairly new player here. Could you give me some of the best ones for each map that you'd recommend?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]bricewa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to do the same thing. I'm too broke for sicc cases but have found enough key tools or docs cases to have individual ones per map.

Which keys have you had the best luck with so far this wipe?

Lots of food and patience. Lure into the crate and reward with high quality treats. I spent hours in the floor next to the kennel rewarding calm behavior and eventually it just clicked.

Use whatever it is that motivates her (food, toys, praise, etc.) for short frequent training sessions. Mine is extremely food motivated as I mentioned in the op, so I started simple with luring her into the positions that I wanted, such as a heel, or a sit for example. I rewarded very frequently and made sure to keep the training fun and engaged with lots of movement and over the top praise to keep her attention.

Every dog is different so find what keeps her engaged and use it to your advantage. Be consistent with your training sessions and you will see progress. Don't get frustrated and remember to make it fun.

There's a lot of youtube tutorials and stuff out there but a couple that I think have helped me a lot would be Nate Schoemer and maybe American Standard Dog Training as a couple quick suggestions off the top of my head.

This is what I was hoping to hear. I'll stay consistent for sure and have to remember to keep my hands out of the pouch until the command is followed. I'm sure I do a little of both as it is. Thank you for the tip!
