    Gen 3 windshield rock chips

    Gen3 have Soundscreen windows. I don’t know about the Gen 2 but Gen1 didn’t. After going through four on my mustang I have concluded the are brittle and crack easily. I have noticed a couple small chips on mine already in the first 12k.

    PPF Buyers Remorse + I'm an idiot = I'm lost

    That is what I did. I was careful and any where that was pulling back I hit with the heat gun real quick.

    PPF Buyers Remorse + I'm an idiot = I'm lost

    Take it off. I had a similar experience with that same wrap that was put on my truck. Installer did a ****** job and the wrap looked bad. I took it home and took it off. 30 minutes and then a quick rebuff and all is good. A heat gun or some hot sunlight is your friend and makes it even easier.

    Recurring Suspension Squeak

    I drove 500 miles this weekend after only the shock was replaced on Friday. Squeak is gone. I asked the Service Manager to use the ears before replacing it and the shock was much noisier than the rest of the suspension. It was the only change, outside if the reassembly and torquing of everything.

    Recurring Suspension Squeak

    Add another one to the list. Had right front replaced yesterday at 8300 mi. We will see how long it stays quite.

    What Differences? Just Curious, I haven't pulled my Ranger z520c with my new 37 more than a couple miles. They should pull similar...

    Where are you guys mounting your radios?

    I agree, you need to be able to change channels and easily read the faceplate. Typically, the wife or passenger can manage the simple channel changes. My wife can sometimes be a stubborn challenge and I need to see the faceplate while driving to figure out her issue trying to help. I can...

    Where are you guys mounting your radios?

    Some clarity…my faceplate is in the passenger media bin, not the center one. It’s not the perfect answer but once we pick a channel for the group, it doesn’t change much. I think my tmd710 will do 75 watts on some bands 50 on others, turned down to licensed levels where required. MARS/CAP mod...

    Where are you guys mounting your radios?

    I mounted the faceplate in the media bin and the radio on a ram mount under the passenger seat for my Kenwood HAM. Not as many good mounting options on the Gen 3 for those of us that want everything out of sight when not in use.

    What should new 2023 be going for?

    You should be able to get at least a few grand off MSRP, which is what I did right when the market turned in September for a 37PP. The original 35 No Sunroof Raptor I ordered showed up a few weeks later and sat on the lot for a couple months until they lowered it to MSRP. It just sold a couple...

    Is fuse 27 swap really necessary?

    I carried the kit for 9+ years, 180k, and never replaced mine. I was prepared if needed, but it wasn’t broke.

    Daily Driver + Sports Car --> Raptor

    I made the jump from the 14 Gen1 and a nice 15 Mustang GT 50yr to a Gen 3 37 last year. I do miss the Mustang, but not the cleaning of it. Cleaning 37s seems to be about an even trade though and takes almost as long. I did like keeping some of the miles off the Gen 1 with the Mustang as a...

    Gen 3 spares?

    With my Gen1, I had built up a nice parts and tools box that goes on those “not close to home” trips for common breakage items. I had IWE's, unjoints, spare tie rod, second spare, electrical crap, a few Raptor Specific sized tools etc. On the Gen3, what breaks on trail that should be...

    Any Lady Raptor owners?

    My wife drives mine and likes it. We ordered her a Ranger Raptor so it was easier to park. It will also get used on the tight trails when needed. It was quite a few years ago but there were a few women driving raptors at Snoball when I went.

    Vanity Plate Ideas

    I have been running BD RPTR since the Gen1. The wife will have BD RNGR on her Ranger Raptor if Ford ever gets around to building it.
