well done nspec !!!

 

Sweet.

 

So you sold the Raptor to get that brick only to trade it for a newer Raptor.. dafuq?!

(Waiting for more pics of babes with big boobies either riding in or on the new raptor)

 

The only thing I can't understand is how the OP avoids sales tax. Do you care to explain the loophole, or would it expose your evasion?

 

He's a Texas business owner.. it's a dense fog of hand waving and witchcraft

 

I definitely looked around at all makes and models before I made my 2013 purchase. Acura is still what some people are looking for.


That truck is a beast. Will it see much off road time? I love looking at the fenders on these things. Suspension travel for daaaays.

 

thanks guys

I dont work for anybody. I do a little homework before trading and i cant give away all my secrets but i do help negotiating the price for most of my friends when buying a car. I do lose some money in mods, but i've learned to live with it.

just a few hours ago, it took it offroading for the first time. its at 300 miles now. crazy but this is my first personal car/truck that hasnt seen 1000 miles with in the first week of driving.


There is no loop hole. I still have to pay the taxes on the positive difference when trading in.

 

Got the exhaust done few days ago.



also installed the M&R Fog lights and 6kk HID bulbs.

 

 

 

check out some of his other threads.
his last Raptor took major abuse at the mud trails and jumps.

but oh yeah, i forgot...we're only allowed to talk about Acura's here at Acurazine, USDuMbJON.

 

So not only the same truck as before... but looks like the same mods. Those lights look familiar.

Are you going to go with the same wheel/tire setup or are you looking at a different setup this time around?

 

I'm trying to go with factory Beadlocks at then moment. It's just a matter of time before a set comes up for sale.
New, cheapest they're 2200 just for the wheels. In that case I'd just go aftermarket. But definitely a different set then before.

 

But not just his other threads... one only needs to look at his avatar!

 

Got it. I was unaware that you only pay the difference on a trade-in. [rant] The sales tax law is complete bullshit and this is just another reason. I buy a car; pay sales tax. Sell my car; the new buyer pays sales tax (even though the sales tax for that car has already been paid). I buy a new car; pay sales tax. But if I trade in, I only pay tax on the difference?!? [/rant]

I digress. Back on topic. Nice truck.

 

Friend sent me a link to a local guy selling beadlock wheels.
Hour later I picked em up and installed them.

I like the beadlock look much better than other wheels.
And unfortunately, these aren't real beadlocks. It's just a freaking trim around the rim. What a let down.
Any ways. Here are the pics.

 

Liked the other wheels better.

meh i'll be the oddball and admit that I actually like the new ones more

 

meh the minority that doesn't care about wheels..

 

I can see where you guys are coming from. The pictures are not doing the justice.

I still personally think they look way better than the old wheels, but still not doing it for me. I think i'll be going with an aftermarket setup and bigger tires soon.

 

looks like a visit to EVS!

 

Ever seen or heard of a Raptor breaking a Spindle? My buddy was leaving the long term parking lot and BANG. It broke in 2.

 

.....if you got another M5 after the Hyundai...but you didn't...so you still suck!

 

Oh, and to the OP, congrats again!

 

I'm guessing it wasn't a natural death

 

Hate you.

 

 

Congratulations man! Envy your lifestyle. The Raptor looks sick already. How long you planning on keeping it for?



Like other's have said, none of Acura's vehicles suit my needs/wants. I'll always be around this forum as I don't know that I've encountered a better group of people. AcuraZine is very active with tons of members, which makes it fun. Finding a decent Ford/Fusion forum is impossible. No activity, no members, no content. Azine is just a good place to go to talk about cars with somewhat of a Honda bias.

Fusion. Please. Not the Optima. Its a great car. See thread in my signature.

 

never seen or even heard of that happening before. must be a defective spindle.

I will actually like to see pictures of that if you can get them.

 

Me too!
I dig the new wheels, they look industrial!

 

Yea, it had to have been. But with 40k on the odo i would have thought it would have shown sooner

Ill see if he has anymore pics of it when he gets home/picks it up. He had it towed to a Ford dealer, rented a car drove home for a day and flew back out of town for another week for work.

 

Are you going to leave the Black graphics on it, or paint the bumpers/fender flares body color?

 

New wheels look tiny... bad ass truck though my friend!

 

Im there about everyday. installed the wheels/tires over there.

Yeah. Im not sure as far as what i wanna do with the body.
I really want to get ADD bumpers but holy shit they're expensive as fuck.

 

And finally washed it for the first time since ive had it
