    Exhaust work (headers, cut-outs, cat back) and warranty

    it could. honestly. it could. the guys here have done it. not to raptors... but vettes.. patrols.. etc. but mostly with 3 inch headers. just an hour in 42 degrees c of heat, doing donuts and let the car stay in 1st gear and at its limiter for the entire period. puff... crank breaks. Why? you...

    frs/vhf radio

    yeah apparently... it didn't get fried. the boys at icom here said my icom is safe. no issues, the board was prolly overheating which pretty much explained why it wouldn't tx.. or hang. they did however tell me to change the place of it so it gets better ventilation and give it a try.. so i...

    Tundra to Raptor

    i was offroading with a tundra last week. if you do the essential mods; the mid perch and the stage 3 from rpg. you are unbeatable and youve got a stronger rig. the tundra did not have the stability i had.. the bed kept bouncing around and it would skid all the time. whereas my truck.. esp. in...

    Stock BFG vs. Goodyear Duratrac vs Toyo Open Country M/T?

    in terms of quality... BFG>goodyear>toyo if i'd want mud tires. BFG km2's. you need to have them rotated as well. also, they are amazing when aired down - grip wise. light too.

    Airbags warranty

    hey Rapt I really hope you sort this in two weeks, cause i'm getting my perch mod finally, its been the 6th visit today and they said they'll do it, the only warranty that'll be "affected" is on the shocks, the UCA's.. but not my front diff or axles. the warranty doesn't drop, it just gets...

    Deavers didn't fix my axle hop. Just broke 2nd drive shaft:(

    I would never recommend adding a turbo or a supercharger, or even an after market air filter.. Be it dry or oil... Especially if you intend going offroading. In our region, we get a lot of sand, and sandy weather is not good for the engine. Keep your engine stock, it beats any engine out...

    2012 raptor - a big disappointment. Not for desert trail.

    just in these past few days, i've met the guy who did that video of the orange raptor... he said he broke his axles/cv's on his third trip to Al Khatim, which is where I was two days ago. his rear diff was totaled, nice Swedish fellow.. his name is Mike, he's on the forums as well. His was an...

    Deavers didn't fix my axle hop. Just broke 2nd drive shaft:(

    the driveshaft is being strained, you are running large tyres with a mean tread on them, if you can show us pics as to where the problem is, we could figure out what is causing the issue and what part can be swapped. i broke my driveshafts twice on non-raptor cars because i ran large cooper...

    2012 raptor - a big disappointment. Not for desert trail.

    It is pointless for the crowd here. But whatever it is that im trying to say is already out there. I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. Facts are facts. We all know them. It's a matter of perception.
