I bet that thing cruises like a champ with the SUA and the 1500lbs over stock in the rear. What a fucking idiot, and the more I hear about Rogue offroad the more I realize they are a bunch of fucking idiots too

There is Rouge Racing (also based in Las Vegas) that builds one hell of a LT kit for raptors and fords- they know their shit. unfortunately, they get confused for Rouge Off road... which is just another cookie cutter company trying to profit off of the overland market using the same parts you can buy from 20 other online vendors. They just offer a "Custom","One Off" and "let us install your bolt on parts for you" service.

I lost power steering on the Taco today just as I was pulling into the job this morning. At lunch I went to check out what it was. Turns out the crank pulley is fucked. Like I can move it 3/4 front to back type of fucked. No pictures because I was to pissed off to get any. I AAA'd it back to my local shop.

They'll look at it this week but the Taco might be a goner. If the crank is stripped I'm fucked. If the pulley wore a groove in the crank I'm fucked. The only thing that will save it is if none of the above happened and the crank bolt backed out without causing any other damage. I'll keep you guys posted but there may be a 96 Taco parts truck listed soon. lol

Yep. The crazy thing is that the truck still ran totally fine. So, I know I didn't do anything to the main bearing or front main seal. If I have to get rid of it I bet I'll sell it as a parts truck for more then I payed for it. lol
So don’t think of it as a loss think of it as an opportunity to get something more desirable
