First, when it comes to wheels, no prospective buyer cares whether the mounted wheels came with the truck or they were mounted the following day or year by a tire store. You should buy what you like best. Installing aftermarket wheels of the same size and offset/backspacing will have zero...

I‘ve thought about selling the Raptor too, because the idea of driving a truck for “free“ for three years is awesome, but we decided to keep the Raptor for the same reasons others have mentioned. There are some nice trucks out there, but none of the smaller trucks I‘ve found is as fun or...

That’s a shame. The west coast is so beautiful. Sorry to see it abandon the structure and rules that made it great.

Absolutely right! Dump it, bank the money, and replace it in a year after the market has crashed and RVs are selling for 40 cents on the dollar. Again. Sorry to hear about Portland. It was beautiful fifteen years ago. I watched this happen to Seattle and San Francisco too. The simple truth is...

I’m reviving this thread because it seems like the best fit and I’m hoping the products have evolved. I have an Undercover trifold tonneau. if it’s different from the backflip tonneau I can’t see the difference. I’d like to buy a strong rack for overlanding and carrying Kayaks. I’d like a...

Sure, debadge away. I looked hard to find a new Raptor (and traveled a long way to buy one) that had every option except the look-at-me-graphics. I prefer clean, simple, aesthetics, and couldn’t care less if people know my truck is a Raptor. I don’t care if others know what brand of...

The ability to change lighting color combinations was a fun gimmick when my wife ordered her new 2005 Mustang GT in 2004. We played with the colors when the car was new, and I’ve done it once or twice since to show people the feature, but one combination was as good as another, and we haven’t...

Planned on Icons, so watching with interest.

Thanks for the great write-up. I was inspired and tried to order one, but Dometic didn’t like my address. I reentered it four times and the site still refused to process my order. There was no place for the discount code either. I took this failure as a sign that I didn’t really need a cool...

Click the link he provided in post #27 and scroll down to the Raptor install video. It shows everything close up. You can drag thru the video to speed to what you want to see. The first shot and last shot show it with the removable end pieces installed.

You saw that Whaler27 linked the trailer installation video for the Raptor base plates, right? That video shows you exactly what they look like installed and what it takes to get them on and off.

Cool Jeep. What size tires are those? How much weight will the RV tow?

X2 There are also lots of secondary/rural roads that are difficult to navigate with an RV that’s 40 or 45 feet long. Towing anything makes it worse, and putting the tow vehicle on a trailer adds even more length. We use a Roadmaster tow system which has adjustable arms, so we just have to...

Kids still going strong? I hope they take a break soon, because I’d like to see the pics too. :) I made the EZ lift mistake, because the shop that recommended it was supposed to be good. As it turns out, they knew nothing about Raptors. Now I have to pay to unwind the mess. I figured sharing...
