    My friend just sent me rocker panel picks of his 2006 f150 and is doing incredibly well compared to my 2012. Insane.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    So weird. Still can't figure it out. Must've just got a bad one or the heated garage is an enemy. My tape is in great shape. Checked every year. My truck see very very little offroad use unfortunately. 98% road. Never let anything sit and live at car washes.

    What year is it? Trying to figure out the variable of why some are insanely bad. Do you store in warm garage? Also did you plug the rear wheel well hole thats right above the cab corner?

    Are you in BC? How did you maintain so well? Just fluid film?

    Up for new tires contemplating 39s

    How hard is it to do the pass through? Under frame I assume? Wouldn't think it would flex with the chassis.

    Rusted Cab Corners

    There's a difference between rust through metal where the integrity is gone and surface rust that can be stopped because it hasn't penetrated into the metal. Its all solid except for the stuff I knocked off.

    Rusted Cab Corners

    Luckily it looks like the running board mount area still seems solid, just need to stop the corrosion. Would'nt want to risk cutting the piece out and welding new and finding out its not as secure for running boards for some reason.

    Rusted Cab Corners

    If its still solid couldn't it be left and then anti corrosion sprayed inside? Found this stuff in aerosol for to get deep in. Works similar to por15. https://learchem.com/products/acf-50.html

    Rusted Cab Corners

    Thinking bigger picture here. Anybody use a media blaster and just go to town on everything? I can buy one for 80, and can use to do alot underneath. Thinking media blast, then grease/waxer remover, then por15/chassis saver in and out, then galvanizing primer where I can't get to, then seam...

    Rusted Cab Corners

    O M G. Serious? This is insane. I assume your problem was salt from coastline? Mines the winter road salt mix, and then the holes that they designed into the cab. I pulled some dirt build up inside corner.

    Rusted Cab Corners

    And the destroyed corner. I can probably punch out a good 6" long hole but can't do major surgery myself.

    Rusted Cab Corners

    How in gods name did ford think this was a good idea. I didn't see any post on anyone mentioning this hole in front of the back tire. Did anyone seal this hole up? At first I thought it was the rocker drains but this is way more obvious.

    Rusting Raptor Rocker panels

    Thinking if you cut 1" width and maybe 12" length and weld 2 pieces inline with the existing 2 pieces.

    Rusting Raptor Rocker panels

    I assume this is the main rocker panel thread. Has anyone welded in new rocker pieces? I'm also not entirely sure that will be good on mine since the rust extends nearly full length. Would like to secure near the running board mounts. Mines showing bulging near there so its a stress point.

    Home link break in risk

    Doubtful. It's probably tied to alot of devices.

    Home link break in risk

    Usually if its not in site there's much less risk.

    Home link break in risk

    Is home link a problem when it comes to garage break ins? Why did ford wire constant power instead of ignition? Would solve alot of problems. Neighbor just had their garage broken into using door opener in truck.

    Replaced vent control blend door and no help

    I've read countless posts on this but can't seem to find the solution. I've replaced the lower driverside blend door near the accelerator pedal, since my controls were stuck on panel. Disconnected battery and fuse 46, replaced, reconnected and let it calibrate. The recalibrate seems odd but...

    K&N failed test

    The test factored in large particles for real world vs small particles and still failed badly.

    K&N failed test

    For dust though. The k&n failed badly.

    K&N failed test

    I had my suspicion after finding particles downstream on sensors but thought it may be coincidence. This is big if true. I'm sure alot of desert users here would have huge data on this.
