    Mods, Mods, Mods....and Questions, Questions, Questions

    Multiple posts on the 5 star tune have discussed their HP/Torque claims are not reproducible on the Dyno. Not a huge surprise since they make the biggest claims. I’m not saying it isn’t a good tune (might even be a great tune); I am suggesting they have a reputation for making claims that...

    How much of a drop for hitch ball mount?

    No, it’s a good fit. I know a little spendy but I think worth it.

    Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

    The $225 quoted above is an amazing price! I’ve seen prices all over the board and it depends on your market. In my small market, didn't have much choice and mine was $550 (install and alignment). I’ve heard prices from $225 (now) up to $700. Most seem to be falling in 400-600 range. Really...

    RappyGraphics 25% off - Rockymountain 15% off

    I’ll have to second that sentiment. Got most of stuff from Rappy, then decided to pick up a couple inlays from Rocky Mountain. They arrived in an envelope, not separated by any packing/plastic and were stuck together (and don’t look worth what I paid for them).

    First day of Spring Truck wash...

    This is about a month after Ceramic coating (Avalon King product). Washed in town and driven out to house which is 7-8 miles beyond pavement on a gravel road. So far, holding up well. Check out reflection on the hood. Base appearance of all our vehicles in winter and spring is “moderately...

    First day of Spring Truck wash...

    Wow...if you’re going to do all that work, consider doing a 2 or 3 coat ceramic at the end. Will last a few years opposed to a poly wax. Really very little work after the clay bar...just a wipe down with dilute isopropyl (or Eraser by CarPro), then apply one of the high end consumer ceramics...

    Painting Brake Calipers

    The painting is the way to go in my opinion. This is a tried and true technique and paint with good results. I can’t personally attest to durability since I just did this just recently but others have very long term results. In addition, it’s pretty inexpensive. $37 for one or I bought 2 for...

    Cold Air Intakes

    Me too. Like the air Airaid for price, name and one of best snorkels direct to the cavernous box.

    GEN 2 Borla ATAK best price in a long time

    Audio clips are never perfect but I actually thought they did a very good job capturing the stock sound. Besides the Borla name, the video (again, with good headphones, not your phone or iPad speakers...) I think really captured what my stock Raptor sounded like, both of which moved me toward...

    GEN 2 Borla ATAK best price in a long time

    I just did the mid-pipes, mainly because of cost. I do like their carbon fiber tips better than any other tips out there, but pretty hard to justify just for “the look”. Wish I could buy the tips alone.

    GEN 2 Borla ATAK best price in a long time

    I’ve not noticed any drone. They claim “no drone” in the video. I’ve heard others say there’s always a little but gotta admit, I’ve not noticed it at all. https://www.borla.com/products/atak/ https://www.borla.com/products/f150_raptor_limited_atak_xpipe_wmid_pipes_part__60638.html...

    Clicking noise while turning left? Help!

    Maybe a dumb question, but do you have mud-flaps? In winter if certain kinds of material get cold and are slightly bent toward tire, can get a rub.

    GEN 2 High Flow Turbo Exhaust Adapter

    So to beat this horse til it’s good n dead, I did some measurements based on diameters of the High Flow Turbo Exhaust Adapters comparing the AMS to the SPD (the Mountaintop is similar if not slightly larger diameter compared to the SPD). Measurement is the Internal Diameter. Stock Area is...

    NEW Rigid 360 Series Round Fog Light Kits Available - Watch the Video

    Background is Radiology (interventional radiology) so parallax is kinda right in my strike zone. I can’t speak as an expert on almost anything on this forum so I’ll get my grins where I can...haha

    NEW Rigid 360 Series Round Fog Light Kits Available - Watch the Video

    Phenomenon is called Parallax. Consider if you were just a couple feet from the bumper, both front medial lights would be obscured. If you could move infinitely far away from the lights, they would be unobscured. I got my 360 series in a couple days ago with spots medially with the other 4...

    GEN 2 Amsoil oil filter?

    Yep...they weren’t in the article but I read that from their site too. Shoulda included that extra info since Amsoil seems to be pretty popular on the forum. So they are definitely in that high performance brand territory.

    Sun Shade for Windshield

    Yeah, I shoulda looked around. I think I got mine on CJ’s when they were having a site-wide sale and I was picking up a bunch of other stuff. That’s a really good price!!!

    GEN 2 Borla ATAK best price in a long time

    For those waiting for the Borla ATAK to get to a reasonable price...this is by far the best I’ve seen. Can’t speak for the vendor though I’ve perused the site a time or two. MSRP is over $1200 but you can get em pretty standard price of $1130-1140. I got mine on sale a few months ago for...
