A lot of good info here. I am glad I stumbled into it. Good clear instructions. My 2014 with 40,000 miles makes a thumping kind of noise on the right side. Mostly when I am backing up. I notice it more when the weather is nice and the windows are down. Not very loud but my hearing is not like...

I hope Ford steps up to compete also. It took a Ram TRX kicking sand in their face to build a Raptor R. Set the bar real high!

Ford Raptor EB doesn’t need a 500+ tune. Ram trucks are too heavy and fat. The Raptor suspension is where it’s at! Horsepower is not everything.

I cracked my Jeep Wrangler windshield this past winter. Wranglers are very hard on glass. Driving in town probably less than 30mph. It was bitter cold out and the chip spread immediately. It was cold enough to hear windshields splitting all night long! First windshield I broke in over 20 years...

I grew up in a glass shop. Started in 1977. Sold the shop 6 years ago. I have thought a lot about why auto glass breaks. In 1985 windshields for the most part were not any thicker, 55 mph speed limit, tires barely had tread on them, most people drove cars too. Fast forward to 2024. Speed limit...

I booked mine last week for May 23-24. I double checked the dates? I think I’m correct? Spring time in the mountains is always good.

Windshield crack repairs are rarely up to our expectations. Chip repairs out of the line of sight are usually acceptable. Most insurance companies waive the deductible and pay 100%. Keep up with the rock ships. Wyoming roads are covered with gravel so...

To check for a stress crack. Take a ball point pen and run it down the crack. When the pen hits something. That’s the chip. Those dam chips are easy to miss. Until there gone. Stress cracks are very, very rare. Rock chip repairs save a lot of windshields too. I would never replace a windshield...

That the place! what did you take up that trail? I used an ATV before. Me and my buddies have argued about if my Polaris ranger could make it. Been 2008 since I have been there.

I have been on three mountain hunts up there many years ago. Wish one of them goats were mine. I keep applying and I am not getting any younger. I remember some kind of jeep trail going to a ranch On top. Never went all the way up. I should have made the effort.

What are you up to in Clark?

Bet you never stayed at a motel in Rawlins during a blizzard. Restaurant ran out of food. I hear drinking and suicide are there pastimes! Jackson or Cody are always good for me. I reserved May 23-24 for the Raptor assault. Looks interesting.

I spent my whole career in glass and auto glass. Sold my shop in 2018. Definitely a rock chip. I always told my customers when you think it’s time call me! Ask around and find the best technician in town. Stay away from those soulless corporate glass shops. They can be a real crap shoot. Pay...

I better make the call. Sooner than later. Do they get any snow over there this time of year? I should wait until May. I-80 across Wyoming closes all the time. I don’t want to spend the night in Rat Hole Wyoming! BTDT

I recently had my Raptor in for the valve covers and front cover replacement. I also had a low battery and headlight warning Looked at while it was there. They replaced the battery and headlight control module. Part number if it helps is ML3Z 13K198B If I remember correctly it...

It has the right look. Back in the day all we ever drove were regular cab and short beds. Now days on hunting trips we laugh about crew cabs not being enough.

Just a little hell raising down in old Mexico! Some one should be in jail but I doubt i! I wish that truck could talk.

Keep us all posted with the repairs. My Raptor R is going in on Jan 22. I do like how your tech has seen a few. It can’t hurt! I am in Wyoming and last I heard it’s the only R. I have seen maybe two GT500s. My tech loves Ford Performance and Raptors. We can be a tough customer but he loves it

I paid part of the ADM last Saturday! Pretty wild if I won it. Two Raptor Rs and my gen one Under one roof. My wife won enough money playing poker for the next trip. She’s ready to go! I am just about healed up! My headache is finally gone.

Left some money, my phone # and address. The D Casino is giving away a Raptor R. I am sure they will call me too. I have not been to Vegas in a very long time. I had trouble keeping up on Fremont st. Old age must be creeping up on me.

You will love the Raptor R. It’s a wild ride. I couldn’t bring myself to sell my Gen 1. it’s like an old friend. Keep your old one if you can!

My Raptor is going in on January 22. No problems as of 1100 miles. I have known the technician for nearly 20 years. I never let anyone touch my vehicles or home without knowing them or a good friend recommending them.

Lots of very nice vehicles. Many I have never seen or known to exist. Now let’s see some old projects. You know them cars that make the wife bitch and the neighbors moan. Here’s my old Landcruiser. Picture looks better than in person. I am installing power steering, air conditioning and...

Mother Nature always wins. Here’s the decal on my hunting camper!! He still has a paddle!

I am elk hunting today at the crime scene today. I have done a lot of stupid shit over the years and I feel this was not one of them. My mechanic still thinks I am pulling his leg. I did inquire about a beefed up drive shaft. His response was what else would you break. Drive shafts are easy to...
