    oem ko2 vs bfg ko2

    Yup, same here. No comparison - cornering, braking...literally no comparison.

    Suspension Basics Explained

    Super solid info, thanks. The 'involvement' question is a good consideration. I mess with my mountain bike and dirt bike shocks all the time, so not a pro, but I get the concepts. On the other hand, I'm not racing or driving my truck at its (or my) limits, so bias towards good enough and not...

    Suspension Basics Explained

    Great post, thanks. I have a '19 with LV. I'm on the fence with my build plan. Interested in your, or others' input. Use: 70/30 on/offroad. 50/50 - 250 lbs everyday gear vs. 550 lbs 'overlanding' trip gear (tent, recovery gear, supplies) Once I do upgraded skid and rocksliders, I'll be...

    Ultimate Bed Build and Custom Dual Battery System

    I should add: The inverter has two leads and I just connect it to either my main battery or Aux battery for emergency use. The Aux battery is in a trolling battery box with fused posts so it is easy enough to connect. The reason I said I might connect it to my main battery is the 1500W load of...

    Ultimate Bed Build and Custom Dual Battery System

    I keep all my 'travel' energy needs 12v, so I use those outlets. The inverter has two leads and I just connect it to either my main battery or Aux battery for emergency use. The Aux battery is in a trolling battery box with fused posts so it is easy enough to connect.

    Ultimate Bed Build and Custom Dual Battery System

    The reason I mentioned I wanted to be able to swap out my AGM in the system instead of 'hard installing it' in is because I used it for 4 years on my offroad camping trailer. It still tests well, so I figured I'd run it for another year, maybe 2 before retiring it. Lithium is good. I have one...

    Ultimate Bed Build and Custom Dual Battery System

    I had my AGM battery already, but will use mine until it starts to fail. My goal is to replace it with about an 80Ah or 100Ah heated lithium. They heat themselves for the first 30 mins or hour in below freezing temps to allow them to take a charge. But at 100Ah - I am getting about 4x the...

    Ultimate Bed Build and Custom Dual Battery System

    As someone who wired in an Aux battery, BCDC charger and various switches/outlets, I appreciate and respect your build more than most. Mine is solid, but is child's play in comparison. If you don't like your gear sliding around, consider using a hole saw on the bedrug, and add D rings to the...

    GEN 2 Orange S1 covers

    I have amber squadron driving combos and I really like them in the dust, rain, etc. I think you can see farther in clear in clear conditions, but I don't push my speeds at night compared to those running in the desert etc. If I add spots to my setup I'll do clear, and leave the driving combos as...

    Great raptor vs trx suspension real world comparison

    I think that would be an excellent test. In AWD and 4WD. As would braking from 50 mph and 80 mph offroad. As would a slalom As would lean angle... the 'Gauntlet' or similar reference trail with stock vehicles. TFL compared the gen2 to a powerwagon, I think and although a PW is good at...

    Great raptor vs trx suspension real world comparison

    This all day. There is a gap or opportunity to do more 'scientific' or 'myth busters' type comparisons/reviews of models, tires, suspension upgrades, tunes, lights... you get the idea. Content that shows the same vehicle using KO2s vs. KM3s on the same trail, same vehicle, same driver. That was...

    GEN 2 Orange S1 covers

    I have the ORA S1 reverse lights on my truck - they work great, thanks. Do S1's have an amber snap on cover as opposed to the bolt on lens? Do they have a black cover?

    Wires in console??

    I'm pretty sure there isn't based on where I've seen wires go into, out of and terminate in the console, but I don't know for certain, sorry.

    Deaver +3HD vs ICON option 2

    Great. Whenever someone says they are 'close to YVR' it usually means they are in Surrey but don't want to admit it out loud. j/k : Not kidding. The reset seems to be something a lot of people don't do, but makes a big difference. 4WP gets some pretty mixed reviews, but I take a lot of that...

    GEN 2 Icon vs Deavers

    Warranty with icon leafs

    Following - I need icons or deavers - 150 lbs regular with tonnea, rack, some everyday carry. And 300 or 500 lbs on trips with tent, recovery gear and water/food etc.

    What's up with Gen 2 prices recently?

    Similar story for me in Aug of 19. Almost identical progression, including the offer to purchase a couple of weeks ago. Cold dead hands... I love the truck.

    Local british columbia raptors

    I've been 4x4ng on the coast mostly, but also spent some years in the interior around Penticton and Quesnel mostly. But all over the province too. Being in forestry, we drove F150s mostly, but some dirty Dodge's too. Not too many Chevs. On the coast the winter driving can be a handful for...

    Raptor Assault - Help!

    Bought Aug 2019 Canada, literally packing up the truck to head down to my RA at the end of March 2020 when covid closed the border. I let them know and they seemed to think it was really strange I wouldn't just come down anyway. I tried explaining that restrictions weren't my doing or preference...

    PSA: Retrax One XR for $1,128.

    Thanks. I appreciate that. On more than one trip the truck has been a bit of a 'commercial' for Raptors that's for sure. On this trip up the mountain I passed two old timers - one in a super duty and the other in a regular F150. Both retired logging truck drivers who had been around the bush...
