    Diode Dynamics - love them!

    Installed a pair of Diode Dynamics SAE fogs, and I have to say how impressed I am. Great beam pattern, terrific spread and doesn't annoy other drivers. The amber marker lights also look fantastic with the raptor light signature on the nose

    How much have you trailered with your SVT?

    So, the other day I trailered home an old 1969 F350... i thought that it would be about 8000 pounds but in the end with everything on the trailer it was probably closer to 10k. I know. Yeah. I was careful, and kept the speed reasonable. It was a gorilla wanting to get out of the cage, but if...

    Airbags and load carrying

    I’m considering adding airbags to my 2012 and am wondering if anyone else has experience. I know that typically adding airbags doesn’t mean that you can should exceed gvwr, but hear me out: The Raptor is overbuilt in almost every area (axles, brakes); the limiting factor seems to be the spring...

    NFab light bar pics?

    Anyone who has the NFab light bar - if you have pics from the SIDE view, would you post? Can’t seem to find good side shots. I’m looking at the light mount tabs and find it odd that they are in front of, rather than behind the bar. For anyone who owns it, thoughts? Oh and how bad was the...

    Diagnosing? Light shudder (anyone have this)?

    2012 Raptor, 92k miles and 100% stock. Bought the truck 3k miles ago, and just noticed this starting: When sitting at a red light, if you ease partly off the brake to roll forward (still a little resistance on the brakes) the truck shudders, like an up and down motion in the rear end as it...

    Gen1 Tire & Wheel Picture Thread (upgraded) - post em up!

    Let’s see pics of aftermarket wheels that you have (and like) on your SVT! Just bought a used black SVT with 90k miles on it. Have done tires, new replacement Fox 2.0s, and sway bar end links. Still chasing a high frequency vibration… think one or more of my OEM wheels is out of round...

    Anyone have TSW "Charlie" revalve? How do you like them?

    Does anyone have experience with the "Charlie" revalve from Texas Shock Works? I found some new stock Fox's for the front of my truck but can't find the rear, so planning to have TSW rebuild them in an exchange. Was thinking about the "Charlie" revalve, for street comfort to settle down the...

    Rear Shock Options: Fox Factory Series 2.5s? Thoughts?

    I've been seeing a number of threads about rebuilt shocks not lasting very long, and have decided to just replace the Factory Fox 2.5s with new. Truck has 90k on it, and they are certainly due... As everyone probably knows, the Motorcraft replacement parts seem impossible to find. Have Fronts...

    Explaining gas mileage to your children

    Actual conversation between my 26 year old son and I, after he was touting the gas mileage of the new Ford Maverick vs my SVT: Him: Your Raptor is just... Me: Well, we both agree that as fossil fuel supply eventually dwindles, research on alternative fuels will boom right? Him: Yes absolutely...

    Lead Frame question: warranty good till March, how to check?

    Gen 1 light bar (similar to Ford Racing bar?)

    Hi all! Just brought home a 2012 Raptor, with 89k miles in great shape… working through normal maintenance. Black truck, from Texas with one prior owner. Pretty happy! Thinking about a light bar: I’d like to keep the factory nose but add a bar like the Ford Racing bar that seems to be...
