SVT Raptor Megathread
I like to be resourceful, so I figured I would include maintenance items and other resources for other Raptor owners or those looking to join the club!
My SVT Raptor "The Behemoth"
This is a thread pertaining my "rig." As the Truck gets modded, repaired, tweaked, or whatever else changes, it'll all be listed here. I may even jot some notes, ideas, or even make a shopping list in chronological order.
SVT Raptor Brands Reviewed
There are many small businesses that are reputable in the Raptor community, and of course, many bad ones. Let me help you isolate your search to make an educated decision on your next purchase!

  • What's it like having 2 boys?
    2
    I've been asked this question many times over. I guess the dynamic seems huge, but I really think it's like any routine... But routine². It's really not at all difficult or unique in my perspective. Really, you just do what you have done the last couple of years and replicate it again. You are alre...

    I have been slowly overhauling the website to fit my needs and presentation. I know, it's lame that I'm still operating out of the phpBB default Prosilver theme, but honestly, it's not that bad. It's very promising. I do have plans to change up the color scheme at least and make tweaks here and ther...

    One lesson I learned early on, which has been fundamental to my growth, is the power of persistence. It has opened doors to experiences and opportunities that others let slip away. Without persistence, I wouldn’t have progressed as far as I have. You are your own greatest advocate—no one else will p...

  • Disney World 2025

    We aren't strangers to Disney World by any margin. Matter of fact, we are 2 time veterans now. Yeah, we're that cool. 8-) This is however, the first time our youngest has been able to witness it with his own eyes (he was in my wife's womb the first time we went). Needless to say, he's had a blast......

  • My Website is Useful!
    0
    I was in a discussion in a Gen 1 Raptor group and someone asked for a writeup on something. I responded back with a link to my website and someone else chimed in saying the information in there is helpful. This has definitely motivated me. Hopefully the information here will last and be useful for y...

  • PERRY GEORGIA MONSTER TRUCK WARS - 2025
    0
    We took our boys to the Monster Truck Wars right here in Perry, Georgia and they had a blast. Definitely louder than I anticipated, despite being to many car events, I didn't account for the fact that this whole thing happened indoors where decibels will just echo. Will be purchasing additional hear...

    This dude posted in the group, obviously asking for help but forgot to add the context to what he's having issues with. We were just left alone with a post with two pictures, one of which, he's pointing at his radio. :lol: I did what I could with the information that was given to me....

  • The 6R80 is far superior than the 10R80 Transmission
    0
    I said what I said. The 10R80 is great in the fuel economy realm, but for reliability, it's a nightmare. Nothing is cheap or simple to replace in this transmission design. I guess it's good that you have the added fuel economy with it, otherwise you'll have a hard time affording the repairs. :o...

  • When you're not feeling good, just stay home

    My oldest isn't feeling good, so we are taking this weekend a little easy. Hoping for a speedy recovery on this fella. Got around to build a model F-22 Raptor and he put this sick livery on it. Kiddo wouldn't eat anything other than McDonald's when he's sick, I don't blame him... On the way to pick...
