    Finally got to take the Raptor out

    Yeah, it's a gigantic talc mine. tunnels going through there are big enough to drive a locomotive through. It was really cool.

    Finally got to take the Raptor out

    Nothing special, but finally got to take my raptor out to the dirt for a little fun around Mojave, CA yesterday checking out some mines. Suspension felt great, other than a bit of a thud I have in the front right coilover, like it's topping out. I'm worried Fox shipped it without enough oil in...

    Basic Needs for an Off-Road Expedition for a Daytrip

    I'm not worried about in truck, more carrying around when trying to get unstuck, but sure, have some 2x6s bouncing around in your truck to save a few bucks. I'm pretty sure someone buying a $70k truck isn't as worried about an $80 set of boards if they were so inclined.

    Basic Needs for an Off-Road Expedition for a Daytrip

    I used one of those cheap ones for the last 5+ years with a slightly larger antenna and it has some great reach. I've finally got a real 55w ICOM mounted in the console now, they're great to have in groups. Law abiding types will complain you need a HAM license to use them, because you do...

    Basic Needs for an Off-Road Expedition for a Daytrip

    Nobody really uses a CB much anymore, I'd like into a UHF/VHF race radio handheld like a Baofeng with the longer antenna and a list of common channels used. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074XPB313/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 The 8w model would be even better, but is twice the price...

    Opinions on SAE lighting

    Or Rigid payed enough to be in there. I doubt it's performance related as much as it's marketing related.

    Opinions on SAE lighting

    SAE lights sure seem like a waste of money to me, but if you're already at $2.5k, what's a little more.....

    I like these. What’s the catch?

    I think the catch is the price..... They generally allow for more droop, where the factory ball joint would bind, the uniball would not. They also move a bit more freely than the rubber sleeved pivots, and transfer more road feel into the truck since they arent isolated. Unless you're really...

    P0454 Code - Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Intermittent

    I appreciate the assistance, and I'll try some of those combos, but that's an oil pressure issue, not the evap system issue. I've googled a lot of different combinations of things as well and haven't had any luck, hence me coming here to search.

    P0454 Code - Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Intermittent

    I'm not having any issues now, so I'll just leave it be until I have some actual problem symptoms to track down

    P0454 Code - Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Intermittent

    Thanks for the help. Can you tell me what exactly I'm doing wrong on the search? The thread looks to be about other codes, but it reminded me that my truck will occasionally leak fuel when I fill up the tank. As in the nozzle shutoff kicks it off, and then all of a sudden a bit of fuel ends up...

    P0454 Code - Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Intermittent

    Anyone get this code? Popped up twice on me, but only when in AZ backing down a launch ramp it seems. Never gotten it otherwise. Usually clears after a few key cycles... I didnt find a single post on here about this one, which was very surprising for one of two reasons: Nobody has posted about...

    Question #25: CB/Ham Radio Operators

    PCI chase race radio kit mounted in the center console to the cigarette plug, antenna mounted to a bracket in the bed corner. Super easy.

    Tuning King shocks

    There's a whole lot more to tuning shocks than that, but ok. Externally, sure. LOTS can be done with internals (Piston changes, infinite shim layouts, oil weights, bleed holes, etc.

    GEN 1 2014 GEN 1 transmission problem

    Mine does a hard 1-2 shift driving from a cold start, only if I drive it lightly, if I drive a bit faster, it doesnt do it, or it isn't noticeable. It's otherwise fine when warmed up. *now googling lead frame"

    Off road focused GPS with topo maps options?

    I've heard a lot of people enjoy leadnav on the ipad over a lawrence. The leadnav seems more user friendly and easier to manipulate on the fly. Also opt for the external GPS antennae dongle to improve the accuracy and update times.

    Explain beadlock capable please

    While that's mostly true, it also has to do with the shape of a rim. The inner side of a rim has a larger shelf for the tire bead to sit on before dropping off and losing the bead. Look at the profile of the left side vs the right, below.

    GEN 1 FOX 3.0 front install

    You can definitely adjust the height after installing, and is best done using a spring compressor, off the truck. The body threads don't like being adjusted with spring pressure on them, and you run the risk of damaging the threads. It can be done, but it isn't ideal while on the truck, there's...

    bed tie down points?

    You're right, it's easier. Also, nuts and bolts is not the way to go. You'd be a lot better off with a rivnut, like they use in plenty of factory applications for sheet metal attachment. I installed L-track/airline track in my bed. Cheap sticks off amazon and a few single points in the middle...

    What do you do the night before new tires?

    Yeah, but which one is more fun to do... Nobody buys a raptor to be economical
