    Gen 3 Torsen vs eaton e-diff

    ^^I stand corrected. If the electronics work well, in theory they’d be better. The ability to brake individual wheels in milliseconds is not something you can do from the driver seat. Id still like to see a comparison between a 22 and 23 through different obstacles/terrain types.

    Maximum coverage : fog lights or behind the grille

    ^^ Yeah the dust following someone makes pillar lights useless… the bumper pocket lights are the only thing that help you see at night in heavy dust. If you’re by yourself or in the lead the XL 80s are an absolute weapon. Yes the XL80s are expensive…but honestly you only need a couple of them...

    Gen 3 Torsen vs eaton e-diff

    Ive had a 2020 with a torsen and a 2023 without. I drove the 2020 on and off road. I haven't driven the 2023 off road yet, but so far on road I’m grateful to not have the torsen. The 2020 did always feel pretty grippy in the front off road, so it’ll be interesting to see how I feel about the...

    Maximum coverage : fog lights or behind the grille

    Any thoughts on A pillar lights? My only grip with that location is you can get a bit of reflection off the hood. A set of XL80s or LP4-6s are pretty common choices. The nice thing about that spot is the fine tuning of aim and the elevated location can really throw the light out there. This...

    Need a smaller pully for the elevation :cool:.

    Raptor stays in high gear

    I thought the gen Juans had at least an off road mode. I prefer the modes not change 4x4 status. Quite a few times I end up changing the 4wd after the mode changes it. Maybe i want Baja, but remain in 2wd, rock crawl in 4Hi etc.

    6x XL80 Behind the Grille - YES it's possible!

    Order placed! Thanks for the shutter clarification.

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    You can barely find a quarter mile of dirt road within a 50 mile radius of Houston unless its a private driveway.

    6x XL80 Behind the Grille - YES it's possible!

    If you use this bracket and put squadrons (instead of XL80s) back there, do you need to mess with the shutters?

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    I'm doing that this weekend, along with aiming the factory fogs to try to make them a little more useful.

    Raptor stays in high gear

    Tow/haul mode seems to be a good half way point from normal to sport for me. Sport in my G2 was a little over the top for the daily commuting grind (I don't need to be at 3K rpms cruising along at 40mph), but tow mode sharpened things up about half way from normal. Normal mode can be...

    24 R pre-delivery part collecting

    Pretty much identical to gen 2 from what I can see on my G3. I'm just happy they aren't carpet.

    Torsen diff in 24

    Many only consider front and rear lockers to be actual 4x4.

    Locking Differential 2WD

    Oh nvm...i guess i need to read my manual...lol

    Locking Differential 2WD

    100% the reason they stopped having 2wd locked after Gen Juan was lawyers and the warranty. At least that would be my guess, maybe there weren't very many warranty claims for shredded rear ends but I bet there are fewer now.

    Raptors on Hideout Canyon Trail in Moab!

    I’ve only taken the Raptor on Colorado trails outside of Texas. Pulling the mirrors in over and over does make you think “I shouldn’t be here”. Good to hear, I need to head back there someday.

    Raptors on Hideout Canyon Trail in Moab!

    Ive only been to Moab in much smaller vehicles than the Raptor. How Raptorable are the easier trails out there?

    Ah man...they closed down Gemini. That was my first trail I took in Moab.

    Torsen diff in 24

    Not that I’ve really ever used trail control…but that system brakes wheels individually. I know traction systems that mimic mechanical traction with brakes aren’t incredibly popular, but it does do it. If you need to use the brakes to activate the torsen with a wheel in the air the computer...

    SAE Fog Light Shootout: Diode Dynamics vs. Baja Designs

    Got mine back a couple weeks ago. It looks like they just gave me brand new lights. All the hardware, looks amazing. Still gotta do the install.

    2023 Gen3 37PP-steering wheel thumping/tapping feeling.

    I hope they gave you a rental car through all of that. I don't know what I would do if the truck was out of service for 5 weeks.

    MT's vs AT's, 17's, 18's vs 20's discussion

    I just wouldn't go both E load and 20s. If they made a C load 20 that'd probably ride pretty well, lots of raptors have E load 17s...but doing both, thats a pretty stiff wheel/tire combo....IMO. E loads from different brands ride more or less stiff too. KO2 E loads Ive found to not ride as...

    Raptor R in White MSRP

    Yeah anywhere west and northwest of the gulf coast gets it pretty bad, around the Houston area its pretty light. Its a big state, we just get the hurricanes instead of hail...lol

    Raptor R in White MSRP

    You know what. I am comparing a steel bodied black truck to aluminum. I've only had steel black vehicles, and white aluminum bodied vehicles.
