    SSM 47757: Harsh ride quality.

    And like the other thread talks about, put it in 4 H and turn the traction control off. Big hill climb, lock the rear dif., and maybe put it into 4 L.

    GEN 2 Front camera always on when in 4Low?

    As far as I know that is right, and that is the way it works on my 19. The truck figures if you are in 4 low and going slow, you are rock crawling and need the camera. I like it a lot, but then we also run two tablets with nav software so I don't need the main display for anything else. I...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Got it dusty climbing up to the Fire Fighters Lookout, overlooking Hungry Horse Reservoir, near Glacier National Park . Then took it down to the edge or the reservoir.

    SSM 47757: Harsh ride quality.

    I do not know the formula, but I am sure 5 gallons at 125 psi is not enough, by far. The real advantage of an air tank (like that one) is so your compressor can refill it as you move to the next tire. It is designed to be inline between the compressor and the fill line to your tires. You can...

    SSM 47757: Harsh ride quality.

    As you air down your tires, the contact patch of the tire increases geometrically. So going from 32 to 28 psi doesn't do much. Contact patch is what keeps you from getting stuck. Think of it this way, if the tire was flat, look how much of it contacts the ground. There is a limit to how far...

    Neutral tow question

    It does not register miles when you are in neutral tow, at least it doesn't on my 19.

    Gen 2 Stainless Brake Lines

    Probably medicine man science. I did it at the same time as the brakes, so a comparison is impossible. The theory is that the rubber lines expand slightly under pressure and the stainless won't. Slight difference in peddle feel. In the overall cost of the brakes, the lines did not add that...

    SSM 47757: Harsh ride quality.

    On sand I go down to 14 psi. It did great. 28 is way too high for deep sand. I am sure the Jeeps were at 12 or below. The BFGs are one of the best all around tire. I use them on rock, sand and pavement. LOWER YOUR PRESSURE.

    Gen 2 Stainless Brake Lines

    Love them. Much more responsive. Gives me more confidence that I can stop when I need to.

    Gen 2 Stainless Brake Lines

    Did it when I put the Alcon brakes on. Check with Nick at Appolo Optics. Great service.

    SSM 47757: Harsh ride quality.

    I have been to two dealers and they say they are too busy to do this to mine (both 2-3 weeks out and I was traveling). I don't feel mine is too harsh, but I still want it done. I am sure this is NOT it, but check and make sure your tires are C range. Try 35F and 32R. I can tell the...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Took it on some back roads within spiting distance of the Canadian Border and then to the Terriault Lakes. Got it pretty dirty and dusty with almost 90 miles of dirt travel.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Took it yesterday on a trail by the Hungry Horse Reservoir called Alpha/Beta. Wife picked Huckleberries. Today took it up into Glacier National Park. Kind of narrow at some spots for a Raptor, especially when a tour bus is coming the other way, but we made it without a scratch.

    Washboard Dirt Roads = Major Problems

    I agree totally. The 45 mph came from a tire dealer, but you are right, I don't totally agree with it. Just don't let your tires got too hot.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Took the Raptor on a little pavement sight seeing trip in Northern Idaho and along the Priest River. No off road, but still fun.

    Washboard Dirt Roads = Major Problems

    It depends what terrain you are running on. Asphalt heats up more than dirt and heat is the real problem of airing down. I have fun my Jeeps at 50 mph on dirt at about 12 psi with no problems. The faster you go and the hotter the tires get, the higher the pressure will go. I just wouldn't...
