    Best way to upgrade B&O stock system

    YEah...$2500 is going to be tough if you have to pay someone to do your labor. I was able to do it because I did all my own labor. $1,000 is not out of the question in labor savings.

    Bike Mount Options on Your Truck

    Not my truck, but I have one of these things. I only use it when I have bikes in the truck vs some guys I see with it on all the time.

    My 37 got smoked by a Hyundai SUV (question)

    #1....stop trying to "race" in the real world, the little Hyundai won't try t race you off road. You have a Baja monster, not a 1/4 mile rocket. Square peg meet round hole. The truck is plenty "fast" for what it needs to do.....dont want people to pass you on the highway....go buy a mustang...

    Kessel Run???

    I almost got arrested on that run. East bound near Ft Riley, A lone 1960's Firetruck was in the left lane doing maybe 60 he had a single orange light rotating. There were 15 cars lined up behind in the right lane. I said screw it and passed them on the left. I dint think it was an active...

    Adding a Relayed Power Distribution Block

    buy 6 relays, 6 fuses (1 each for the size of the accessory) (don't do a single fuse for all 6) some wire, solder, and shrink wrap and go to town. Years ago (1990) when I worked in car stereo industry, a co worker had a full sized bronco with almost 20 separate relays doing various things. The...

    Intermittent vibration/ humming sensation when rolling to a stop/ applying light brake

    it is the tires. put a straight edge on the outer tread blocks near the top. these tires tread blocks wear crazy where the alternate on the shoulder. creates a low rumble as very low speeds. as the truck speeds up, the tires "balloon" slightly and that goes away.

    MT Baja Legend EXP tires

    Those look loud. I have 42k on my stock k02's (with 5 tire rotation strategy). The tread looks like it has another 10k in them, but they are loud and out of balance at speeds of 65-80mph. so I just drive 90mph most of the time.

    Service Agreement purchased when I bought 2021 Ford Raptor not easy to cancel---only goes to lien holder when cancelled

    Unlearn what you have learned. This is not 1990. 3 months or 3,000 mile oil changes were over kill then, and overkill now. Save yourself time and money. 8,000 to 10,000 mile oil changes are completely safe and normal. Modern engines and modern oil are capable of even longer intervals. I...

    It’s just slow

    Buy a fvcking mustang if you want fast QUICK! It is an off road truck, not a street light hole shot monster. It has plenty of power to do the off roading it was intended for. Stop trying to put a square peg in a round hole. The gen 1,2,3 Raptors are an evolution and they are perfect for...

    PSA...make sure you wait for the shift from 2wd to AWD to complete before you pull into traffic

    I had an 82 Mustang GT when I was 16 and the heater core was leaking inside the passenger footwell. It was summer, so I just bypassed it in the engine compartment. No big deal. When winter came, I got tired of being cold so I reconnected the heater core thinking I could deal with a small leak...

    PSA...make sure you wait for the shift from 2wd to AWD to complete before you pull into traffic

    The roads were wet and traffic was crazy when I wanted to pull out of a parking lot onto a 4 lane (2 each way) road. I saw a gap coming, but it would be tight, so I rotated the dial from 2wd to Awd. The gap came just as I looked up so I went for it. Apparently the transfer case had not...

    Raptor in small accident, body shop or dealer?

    That is on you. No insurance can ever dictate what body shop you have to use....EVER! A quality private body shop will always be better than a dealer. But yes...it is extra work on you to find the good ones. Which is why I say you should know the good ones before you need it.

    AUX 1 - 10a (increase to 15a?)

    follow the specific section about the uplifters. it will be more up today. If you need more than 10amps, use the up fitter switch to trigger a relay. Will require a little extra wire and a fuse off the battery, but will be much safer. Do not just jam a 15 inch fuse in the box. that Is how...

    Raptor in small accident, body shop or dealer?

    Pro tip...you should know who you will take a vehicle to for bodywork before you need one. NEVER use the dealer body shop. they are hacks fresh out of trade school getting their first job, and the dealer wants to move thing in and out as fast as possible. Find a good private shop. Word of...
