Love the photos of both side by side. The gen2 was starting to grow on me but I still like the gen1 better.

I see the fog light area of the new bumper has been changed and it gives more approach. Might be a mother to put lights in.

Blah! The centers look like stamped steel. I'm happy to finally see them set up like real beadlocks.

I was hoping I'd like them, but not a fan at all.

yeah that's one thing that stood out immediately seeing the gen 2 in person yesterday at the philly show. the sides of the bumpers are more angular, they sweep right back towards the tire, rather than a gradual curve like the gen 1's.

My God, children... If you read through this whole thread your head is going to explode. Every other post is someone arguing about how much better the first one is and what they should have done to the second one or why it shouldn't be considered "stock" because they did some changes to the spring compression rate and the 3.0's.

Just let the damn thing race. It can't go more than 10 feet forward before someone has to interject their opinion. If you want to make a change, I suggest putting your application in to the Ford Performance department. Otherwise, accept the truck for what it is. Faults, peculiarities, or high-notes and leave it at that. It's the next generation of an already great truck and it's going to carry the torch onward.

This whole Gen 1/Gen 2 debate has never bothered me before, but reading though 17 pages of people picking at this and that about it, instead of just letting it race. Be happy Ford even produces this truck and goes out to the desert with it in the first place. Now lets kindly get back to the actual topic of this thread, the new Raptor out racing this weekend.
