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

    Those brake calipers look like they’re itching to be painted... Did mine...nice little accent behind your good looking wheels.

    This REALLY sucks!!!!!!

    Oh My, OF, what you gonna do during this lock down? My truck is saving me from going stir crazy. Lucky all these vendors are still shipping stuff out. Can’t believe they can’t just do the business end of things over the phone since your truck is already there! I’d be calling them, begging to...

    Geiser vs Eibach vs Collar

    Eibachs if only for the fact you can see them and they look really cool....haha. Seriously, I read a bunch of the posts and finally settled on the Eibachs. What I wasn’t prepared for was that it was spendy to get them installed/aligned. I think it ran me $550-600 on top of the $225 springs...

    Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

    EIbachs while I was doing a little bling to the brake calipers. I do like the new stance. Measured prior to placement and definite rake which was noticeable. Can’t say I’ve measured after placement. It just looks right now:

    GEN 2 High Flow Turbo Exhaust Adapter

    Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for the install? The Turbo Exhaust Adapters aren’t very expensive ($125-190 depending on which brand you get). For that price, even a small gain would be worth that little of a cost to me. But if it costs a ton to get em installed, that might give me...

    GEN 2 Painting “Raptor” Running Board Badges

    Bought these “Brushed Stainless Steel” Running board Raptor badges from CJ’s with the idea to paint them color matching to my truck (in my case Ruby Red). Never seen it done before but seemed like a good idea at the time. Already painted brake calipers and tow hooks just for some subtle...

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

    While not all that exciting, a new BedRug XLT I found on sale a while back...

    Rigid 360 6” ? Or something else

    I sure will. May be a few days before I get to it. Loved the install video I saw. That’s a great looking set-up and I love the way it fills the “gap” better than the 3”squares. Only question was how to adjust the light projection direction once mounted but I assume that will become obvious...

    Newbie Raptor Owner - Performance Mod/Tuner Questions

    I’ve got a bed rug to put in, a light package to put in the front lateral bumpers, a license plate relocation, and finish up my caliper painting. I think I planned this stay-at-home time pretty well...haha. Just have to get on CJ’s, Stage 3, American Trucks, Apollo Optics, SPV, ORA, etc etc...

    Newbie Raptor Owner - Performance Mod/Tuner Questions

    Wish someone would do a Raptor specific install of this! The F150 install video on YouTube looks pretty straightforward. On another thread, seems experience with the install is all over the board with some saying it was easy and others citing all kinds of issues and having to remove the fan...

    GEN 2 High Flow Turbo Exhaust Adapter

    https://www.ghtuning.com/product/gearhead-exclusive-2017-2019-raptor-3-5l-ecoboost-turbos/ Isn’t this it? Yeah, I was thinking maybe a $150...not $4200, haha. I little to rich for me and I definitely don’t have the skill set to put those puppies in. I know everyone seems to exaggerate power...

    Rigid 360 6” ? Or something else

    My only gripe with it, just like any I’ve seen, is it lifts the light bar off the top of the bumper enough to always cause greater encroachment on the front camera field of view. Pretty important for rock crawling (or parking this big beast). Some of the light bars are low profile enough to...

    Ford put 400 miles on my Raptor during warranty work

    I WISH that was how it worked. Lawsuits rarely follow an actionable malpractice incident. I’ve been on our State board, having been on a panel where we suggest to attorneys whether a case is actionable or not. Board has 3 med professionals (including a hospital rep) and 3 attorneys. I’ve...

    Ford put 400 miles on my Raptor during warranty work

    And now unjustified insinuation is heaped on continued ignorance. Are you unaware that there are different types of physicians with each specialty vastly different in the number of claims brought against them. And that some specialties are often thrown into lawsuits of other physicians because...

    GEN 2 “Must do Mods”?

    Agree with above completely. Though it hasn’t prevented me from modding like crazy in the 4 months since I got my beast. Truck is great as is, but if you have time, money and the inclination, there’s so much more potential for to make the appearance personal, get the lighting to your exact...

    Ford put 400 miles on my Raptor during warranty work

    What a mindless ignorant and uninformed statement. It’s hard to even respond to the level of ignorance you expressed. I am well aware physicians make mistakes and I do not doubt and have even seen malpractice. If you think a lawsuit requires even a single doctor in my field willing to...

    Does it matter when you buy your extended warranty?

    Ha!! It’s a little roll of the dice early on but it’s really worth it. I’ve got kids I keep in wheels, my wife, and 3 vehicles of my own. So keeping what I call the “car account” (just a checking account only for new vehicle purchase and repairs) since I was young has kept me from ever having...

    Ford put 400 miles on my Raptor during warranty work

    So glad to hear. We don’t need any specifics but that was one of the best stories and soap operas these forums have had! Lot of support for you. I think we were all pretty incensed and felt how violating that would be at your story. Great outcome! New Raptor...that Rocks!

    GEN 2 High Flow Turbo Exhaust Adapter

    Am considering a High Flow Turbo Exhaust Adapter for my 19. Surprised I don’t see all that much talk on here about it. SPD makes one, claims 24hp/43tq on a stock set up. Mountain Top tuning claims 20hp/25tq on stock. AMS Performance is cheapest and claims increase 55% internal cross...

    Cracked valve cover driverside

    Ya make me nervous about mechanical problems for this beast. So far so good but I’ve only had mine since November. By the way, good pick up on the problem... I’m gonna have to pay closer attention to my engine bay.

    What is the best way / jack to use to lift the truck for tore rotation?

    I picked up the Harbor Freight floor jack several others recommended here. Was on sale for $177 but now back up to $209. Also got the 6T jack stands on sale; they’re now up to $50 for 2. Also picked up the jack stand pads...

    Does it matter when you buy your extended warranty?

    Depending how young you are, this works really well if you’re compulsive about it: I started a “car account” with money direct deposited out of my monthly check about 25 years ago. Enough to cover car payments and warranty that you’d usually pay for. After a time, basically you end up self...

    Rigid 360 6” ? Or something else

    My bad...I should have researched before I spoke. But geez, $265 to relocate camera... Seems excessive and I’ll bet someone could and should build a better mousetrap. https://www.vividracing.com/-p-152247700.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIouz459u06AIVgshkCh1idwI2EAQYBSABEgLkhvD_BwE

    Rigid 360 6” ? Or something else

    I think that Addictive Desert Designs has a camera relocation kit they sell with some of their bumpers. Wonder if it can be purchased separately or licensed by you guys as a separate item. Unless you’re putting the BD S8 behind grill light in, could be relocated up. That’s what I think the...
