    37s installed!

    Looks great. Seriously. I suspect that you'll get interference off-road. Please keep us posted. Again, nice looking truck...

    Are there any hidden winch options available anymore?

    just my personal off-roading experience, may be useful for someone... I have found, for pickups, for rear-mounted winches to be more useful. - for self-recovery in a truck going places (as opposed to a jeep running obstacles), I usually want to go back where I came instead of making it...

    Nitto Ridge Grappler Tire Pressure ?

    it depends. tire pressure isn’t an answer, it’s a tool to achieve specific goals. off-road? air it way down. traveling empty on the street and want a smooth ride? air it down. towing or hauling stuff? air it up. road tripping and want mileage? air it up. think what you are doing, and...

    Lecture on Proper Ordering *Expert Opinions Contained Within*

    my gen 1 has step. I'm sure they've improved over the years. not impressed, and wouldn't order a new truck with one. heavy, rattly, and a hassle to deploy.

    is this a lie

    doesn’t matter what was said. if a dealer said it, it probably was a lie. :-)

    WTB Gen 1rear bumper no sensors

    I’ve got a perfect one. Even has flush mount Rigid lights installed. I am in Oregon, but can strap it to a pallet You’d just have to figure out logistics. Don’t need much for it. Just like to see it go to a good home. Take it to PM.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    SVC bed supports. New wheels. 20mm offset. Then offset works.l, the wheels themselves suck. they are visions and took way too much weight to balance. will replace them with methods after i smoke these tires. relocated exhaust and spare tire bed mount upcoming. stay tuned. as an aside, RPG is...

    Raptor Shout Out In New Rap Song

    Whatever you do, do NOT Repeat.... DO NOT Listen to the song, watch the vid, or look up the lyrics to Ram Ranch 7.

    Which model is the better off-roader?

    been on both. my choice would be the bigger rubber. i wouldn’t underestimate the added performance of a larger tire simply for additional sidewalk flex. what i will say it that at its heart Raptor is still a 1/2 ton truck and 37 are putting a lot of leverage on steering components. but i’m...

    Having Trouble Deciding Between Gen 1 vs Gen 2

    Gen I for me. Raptor is a toy, and I feel the same way I do about it as I do my race car. (S197-Brembo) That is: I want to be able to play with it and drive it so I don't want feel bad if/when I toss it into a wall. I wouldn't be able to do that with a Gen II. It's just easier for me to beat...

    Stock Bumper, what is it worth?

    Hey. I have a rear stock bumper for your year. It's been on Craigslist for a month with exactly zero interest. Except for that one guy from India... Anyway, it's in Central Oregon. Can stick it on a pallet and ship if you can figure out how. Will let it go cheap because the bride is sick of...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Busy day: Went down a bit over an inch in the back. I used the ReddiLift blocks. Found out along the way that Ford used a solid driveshaft that slips into t-case rather than being bolted on both sides. Don’t ask why this recently became interesting… Also wrestled the tailgate off, which was...

    Anyone worried about the gearing of the 37s?

    35 to 37 is nothing. the thing has ten gears. nobody is going to notice. for those skeptical, i would encourage you to run a gear / rpm / speed chart. you will see the absolutely meaningless difference is rpm at a particular gear / speed. now if we have a significant weight difference, all...

    Onboard air compressor recommendations

    i’ve run an ARB compressor and CO2 on Jeeps at different times and different rigs. i’ve since gone to elockers and co2 exclusively. i mount a little 10lb cylinder on the roll cage. i like the speed of co2 over little compressors. i also like the no mechanical and electrical stuff to worry...

    Anyone getting toppers(truck caps) for their G3?

    Here let me drive this conversation completely off the cliff. How about a real raptor suv? presently on a road trip with the bride. chose the big bad suburban (2013 3/4t lifted) over raptor because of more secure space and continuous space. YMMV but the fact that Excursions are selling for...
