On older Toyota pickups you have to do the same thing and cut the leaf spring bolt because it's right by the fuel tank as well I felt your pain Vinny 😂
It’s really easy to drop the tank in a Toyota tho. The skid plate is kind of a pain. I got a curved scar on my hand from taking it off and another one with the opposite curve in the same place from when I was putting it on. My favorite scar and a reminder of all times I’ve dropped the tank to weld the frame or flip it on its side and fill the frame with cement. Gotta love Toyota’s.
Light the area you're working on. Hard to see when the only visible things in the shot are the reflection off the wrenches and utter blackness. Otherwise? Pretty damn cool. Thats a hell of a rig!
Vin have you done the frame rail reinforcement plates yet? I don't want to see you with a bent Raptor frame now that you've done all those upgrades. Seems like cheap insurance.
@@johnfolsted3508 more like the previous owner enjoyed the hell out of it!!! Ps... Incase you didn't notice... Vin's truck is supercharged. The guy before him probably best the thing within an inch of its life!!!
As a great man once said "When are we going to put some bois on this vehicle instead of the small Johnnie's" - Bro dad's Vin and Hert in reference to Kyle's van.... But Vin, you either need to lower the suspension or get some big'ol Johnies like some 32's. I'm surprised that Hert hasn't flamed you cause us Florida boi's know how a truck should look.
vin working on his cars "oh hey I'll work on my vehicle" two days later "oh WE will work on my vehicle!" #classic #HowNotHaveLooseBolts #AtleastBradWrenchsHisOwnStuff #neverforget
Duuude! So lucky! I’ve wanted Icon since day one of my1500. Anyway we can get icon to drop a coupon code??? And can we get a Hoonigain Broverlander day??
Now when Vinny slides across the hood of his truck like hes from the Dukes of Hazzard, he picks up some serious speed now with how glossy the paint is!
Alignments on a truck are a bitch. Now that Vin added the new upper arms that helps people like myself that do alignments. The adjustable upper he put on will actually help to keep the tires in the right position so when Vin's on the highway the tires will wear the right way.
Pro Tip: Save yourself time and money next time you need to cut a bolt by stopping at the Home Depot and buying a Diablo blade. I hack off sway bar end links and ball joints in seconds with those suckers. Makes exhaust tube like warm butter. Effortless. Stop struggling and get the right tools for the job man!!!
Thank you Vin for being “old school” and sticking with the 1st gen V8, your truck is turning out very nice ! The new suspension is “BadAss” ! Oh... and about Scotto filming better than you, that’s cuz your getting more actual work done, Lol.
I was just admiring those ecoboost projector headlights a few days ago. Those lights sure do update the front of the truck well. It looks like a much newer truck now. Sick rig Vin!
Where did you wire the headlight ground wires to? if you didn't use the stock ground points behind the radiator support I guarantee that you will have issues. I've done two headlight installs on raptors and it will cause issues if not properly grounded.
The whole gas tank bolt thing is exactly my problem with Fords they're not bad trucks but if/when they break they are a pain in the ass to work on sometimes.
That cover is cool as hell even without the rooftop tent - much more manageable than the normal style with gas struts, don't have to take it off to put tall or long things in the back, really well thought out product.
The leaf springs are going to be softer for travel so when you go to tow it's going to bottom out definitely recommend airbags for Towing so your leaf springs don't start to sag later Bump stops are for bottoming out Offroad definitely get the gusset for your frame for the rear bump stops
@@HooniganProjectGarage haha. Those Fox shocks are actually pretty boss if you drive the truck how it was meant. Coolest thing about them to me is they adjust themselves to the type of terrain you're on. Also, first time Hoonigan has replied to a comment of mine. I feel accomplished.
Is the 1st Gen Raptor better than the 2nd Gen? I want to know which has more modifications that are available or I was looking at RAM REBEL , Comment below!
Nice! Just bought a 2014 Raptor with 60k miles and the stock shocks haven't been rebuilt, and I'm considering upgrading them all together instead of just rebuilding. Is this the suspension kit you used? 10-14 FORD RAPTOR STAGE 4 SUSPENSION SYSTEM SKU :K93054 Price :$13469.85 Almost half the price I paid for the truck lol, but may be necessary as I plan to either tow a trailer or mount a roof top tent.

I'm going to upgrade the pump as recommended for Gen 1s, but not sure if anything can be done to improve the actual turning circle.
If you threw an LED bulb in your stock housing it would be double the output of those projector beams which are pointless unless you have HIDs or LEDs but if Ken could get me free headlights i would take em too lol
Man, I feel like I need a beef suspension setup like that just to get around, every road where I am, feels like offroading or trailing (MI roads are legendarily bad).
Thanks for describing what a tonneau cover is, Vin, NEVER would've knew what you were talking about with the description... ...also, extremely jealous of that damn Raptor...

Now that Vinny's Ford Raptor is built for battle, what Off-Road events should we try hitting this year?!
Hoonigan Project Cars King of Hammers? Baja? Go big
BAJA UPDATE - Raptor Edition
Baja 1000
Anything that will get Vin and Raptor airborne! Nothing like a good jump over crest with mad mud splatter!

Send it off the dock Vin!
Knew this was coming haha
IIIIIIT"S TIME!!!!
Time for Double stacked ramps 😂😂😂
was waiting for vin to jump it off the dock lol
That would be sick
We don't need Vin hurting his ankles...
Me too when he said "there only one thing left to do"
“This is a first gen V8, not that eco boost stuff” Vinny every time he talks about his truck
Alejandro Carrazco The man knows what he likes!
It's basically a Ford GT engine, that thing is amazing, Vinny's crazy
But..but twin turbos tho!!
We need a Dogs of hoonigan video lol

Last time i was this early, Vin hadn’t wrecked Shartkart...
There is a first for everything, and thank you for showing up on time today.
this vid looks old so I don't think hes evan wrecked yet
The length of exposed wire running from the bed rack down under the cab is killing me.
He said he was shitty at wires he had to prove it lol
Eh. He's in Cali. Nbd
Zip ties and shrink wrap, no bug deal. That's how wiring works.
its actually not bad.. you can see he cleaned it up. KC harnesses are legit, not the dinky car stuff
It's not hurting anything but taking a few extra minutes to hide your wiring makes your install so much cleaner looking.
Vinny is really getting into some cool projects(first like!)
Vinny's car stable is growing day by day.. Best part is they all run!
"track days in the winter because the weather is better" as a Canadian this concept seems entirely alien to me.
Ice drags buddy we send it in ontario
Hey man its 2 degrees right now! Prime IATs!
Badass truck Vin. Not really a Ford guy but the truck looks awesome. Should make life more fun with the new upgrades.
Now if we can just convenience him to jump it at the Burn Yard...
I tried to drink a shot every time Vin said "Super". It was a horrible idea.
RakkasanMedic I tried to drink a shot every time I saw something he spent another 1k dollars on... I was f’d in about 20 seconds.
Hoonigan the real OG for playing the OG Zelda music

After watching this I realize I need more "jazz" in my life.
JAZZ saves LIVES!
Can editing God add 3 second clips of giant steps by John Coltrane every time that Vin says a variation of "all that jazz"
Notes Taken...
15:05 Looks like the Hoonigan is consuming Vin.
Good.
It only took us 15 minutes and 5 seconds to consume Vin... New RECORD!
What if vin got a ford velociraptor, would it be a "vinlociraptor"
No Name boi why has this not got more likes
Yes! Now we just got to peer pressure him into that! 😆
No
Just no
@@dereckdejesus3093 All the yeses! 😁😎
"Truck Rice". Sorry, not from Cali. Funny. Put a rotary in it. Braptor.
So when is vin taking this off the dock?
Anyone notice how Vin can't look at the camera for more than 30secs. It's very noticeable how often he glances away from the camera
I came here looking for this comment lol
Did he just say stiff for trails and soft for street use? 🤨
Yes, you want stiffer suspension if your bombing in the desert so you aren't bottoming out all the time
Vin have you done the frame rail reinforcement plates yet? I don't want to see you with a bent Raptor frame now that you've done all those upgrades. Seems like cheap insurance.
Vin's girl is thicc.
Someone had to say it
did they though?
Try to go two minutes without saying "super"....
Super! Thanks for the comment and we will consider that for next episode.
Try to film yourself talking a lot when you're by yourself... you say a lot of stupid shit.
That's a super idea... 9:00 - 11:00 as one example.
That Raptor looks proper now!!! I hope it drives as good as it looks!
Blown shocks on a relatively new truck.. built ford crappy the thing looks like a pile of plastics
Dont say i cant afford a raptor either there garbage
@@johnfolsted3508 more like the previous owner enjoyed the hell out of it!!! Ps... Incase you didn't notice... Vin's truck is supercharged. The guy before him probably best the thing within an inch of its life!!!
Really makes me want one. Too bad they're about 115-120 000 $ here in Norway.
As cool as they are, you can build something just as capable for the same price if not less
tr0n offcourse. Still. Wish v8’s were cheaper here.
Vinny new king of shake cam
Tough to watch in places. Otherwise good video. Now use that CNC table and BUILD something rather than buy! And no getting Dan to do it 😜
Damn Vin, did you really have to flex that hard on us.
Secret4gentm4n #truckgoals
That rear rack bugs me that it doesn't follow the roof line
why would you want the tent above the roof line?
@@jackmossman7559 cause it look more uniform having the rack follow the roof line and give more storage in the actual bed. My thoughts at least.
As a great man once said "When are we going to put some bois on this vehicle instead of the small Johnnie's" - Bro dad's Vin and Hert in reference to Kyle's van....

Now jump it off the dock. That'll test the suspension.

Vin .. Jeremy from Shine Supply did a awesome job on the Raptor.. Makin that paint 🌊🌊
Now when Vinny slides across the hood of his truck like hes from the Dukes of Hazzard, he picks up some serious speed now with how glossy the paint is!
Im pretty blown away. I also learned so much from his stories.
Yeah he's pretty awesome... That's the only product I use for the car's I detail.
Great video, Makes us want to consider doing the complete suspension on our Raptor that you just did thanks for the great content and Reco's
Vin is lit haha Jesus the dudes got a futura trailer, A sick s14 with a new 2j AND this raptor... Nigga talk about goals
The stock headlights are lackluster because bright ones blind people with short cars, my guy
Alignments on a truck are a bitch. Now that Vin added the new upper arms that helps people like myself that do alignments. The adjustable upper he put on will actually help to keep the tires in the right position so when Vin's on the highway the tires will wear the right way.
Scotto how much are you paying vin?😂
I think Vin should install a new cat back if he can😄maybe a roush
Yeah buddyyy
Big thanks to the Icon guys! I could hear Vin was losing a bit of his enthusiasm for the job (or at least that's what I sound like when I'm over it!)
Icon Suspension came, saw, and conquered Project Raptor! Those dudes rock.
Could have swapped in the Gen2 shocks and saved a bunch of money
Seems Vin already got those battle scars fixed.

Well... He does make a solid point.. #handgang
Your truck is lacking in the hoonigan sticker department.
Should of went with fox or king shocks

If my 1994 stock headlights work just fine than I'm sure your for raptor headlights are fine. But if u got the money spend it I guess
Emilee Rosenau that’s what I was thinking 😅
Who owns the red Merkur XR4ti or Ford Sierra Cosworth is that in the background? When are we going to see that on a show?
its been on 1 of the other channels
Rooftop tents are stupid.
XD even Vin doesn't like the Ecoboost engine he probably didn't like how the hoonitruck sounded like a damn weed wacker too
The whole gas tank bolt thing is exactly my problem with Fords they're not bad trucks but if/when they break they are a pain in the ass to work on sometimes.
That Raptor V8 looks pretty sick, Vin!
What about the Lincoln
I hate that ford does the spring bolts on the rear like that. It’s annoying AF
The struggle was real on just that one bolt...
Jump it off the doc
What are Icons?
so.... Them Headlights fit a basic F150?... Asking for a friend.. help Vin recoup some cost
Vinny has to be loaded man, all this looks expensive as hell lol
Hurt got money too probably the twerk stallion cost doe I bet
Sponsors probably help a bit.
Im sure sponsors take off maybe 5-10% but still has to be thousands lol
So is Vinny just loaded now or what?....all the money part!!!
