    Aftermarket Retro 37's????

    I know Ford usually does fit and measure session pre-launch with major aftermarket suppliers. Not sure if this happened with Raptor this go around. The question is as above. Assuming many of these trucks will go out as 35 spec. How will the aftermarket make them compatible with 37s? Make no...

    New Florida Raptor Owner From 250s

    Raptor was my first 1/2 ton truck as well. Before my common rides were either my Ram 2500 or the big, bad 3/4T Suburban. The ride. The ride. The ride. The ride of the Raptor is amazing. We're getting ready to take a several thousand mile road trip, and it's not even a question of what to...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I bought the Gates premium belts, tensioner and pulleys. Standard Auto makes a plug wire set that comes with: wires, boots, and resistors. I'll go get a little tube of dielectric grease. The coils were Densos. Which were half as much as OEM, but are premium, and (I believe) are the OEM...

    Another Douchenozzle Article: "5 Ways the Chevy Colorado is Better Than Ford Raptor"

    the size. I'd love to have Raptor in a 7/8 sized package. And I an see many off-road scenarios where the ZR2s size and weight would be a huge advantage over Raptor. The ZR2 solely by virtue of it's significantly less travel isn't even in the same league. Then there's tires. Apparently the...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Dropped some cash with our friends at RockAuto. Previous owner had changed plugs and all fluids at 100k a few years ago. Which was good. But that was it. I ordered: - new coil packs - plug wires and boots - serpentine belt, tensioner and pulleys. Under 7 hundo to my door. Deciding if I'm...

    Finally looked at TRX up close

    600 pounds. That‘s the approximate weight difference. 10%. I haven’t driven these things back to back, but that should be a huge difference off-road. Not sure about you dudes, but to me, the Raptor feels big and heavy enough off road where serious caution is to be exercised. Around here, we...

    Advice on how to get a Raptor R in the future

    Seriously people. Relax. I‘d like to point out that mere months after TRX was selling for $50k over sticker, they are now going for MSRP.

    Advice on how to get a Raptor R in the future

    Depends if this thing is really limited or not. If so, you can look at more of a GT40 model. If not, get ready to pay. Let’s be straight. Dealers are wh@res. That’s not good or bad. It just is. Their job is to make their owners the most money, not to make friends with you. Groveling at a...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    What did I do today? I sat around waiting patiently for my SVC rear bumper to arrive. UPS apparently had some sort of tragic delivery accident. Not happy. Also waiting (less patiently) for my JDM tune to arrive. I'm sure they will all be more than worth it. Keep you all posted.

    GEN 2 Any of you thought about trading the Raptor for the Bronco

    i tend to agree. the jeep pictured over there. <<<<< was a base model. it got wheels, tires, dana 60 axles, lockers, cage and bumpers. bronco made it a little more difficult in that the wide axles and and lockers seem to only be available on higher end models. someday a manufacturer will...

    GEN 2 Any of you thought about trading the Raptor for the Bronco

    Th correct answer is, of course... Get Both! Bronco is a very cool ride, but not a Raptor substitute.

    Add Apple Carplay to Gen 1 Sync 1?

    rear back up camera works. you don’t use your factory mic for the phone. i hid the aftermarket mic to the lower left of the wheel behind that vented section. seems to work ok. on my 2011 there is some minor dash trimming required. i started the install. realized the cutting was NOT for the...
