Ride feels smoother and the grip on road feels like a big improvement. Honestly I can’t get over how much a difference the lighter wheels/tires make in acceleration, braking, and responsiveness. Haven’t seen any wet weather or off-road time yet. Literally put them on yesterday!

Just wanted to take a moment and give a huge shout out to @Nick@Apollo-Optics and his team for some absolutely incredible customer service! Not only do these guys have the best prices but shipping is crazy fast. But the biggest thing is that Nick has now taken the time twice after hours on his...
ORA550 Package and Tune Review

So this is my in-depth review of the ORA550 package and tune. I...
Pulled the trigger on a 1FG kit at the sale price. Nick from Apollo-Optics got it out to me waaay faster then I anticipated! Thanks Nick! Got it yesterday and bolted it on last night. The sound is so much better in person! Hoping it doesn’t change too much after break-in cause I’m loving it as...
Just wanted to post an update as promised. Truck still runs flawlessly on the street and in daily driver use. Took the rig out to TexPlex here in Texas yesterday. It’s a motocross park that has built up a prerunner track for Raptors and other prerunner modified rigs. Lots of big whoops and jumps...
Need some advice on what y’all use to get the bug guts off the mirror caps and front grill? I live out in the country and it’s a constant battle. Looking for product recommendations and technique tips. Thanks!

TexPlex is a great track! Went to last months prerunner day and had a blast. Prerunner day for November is actually this upcoming Saturday. Wife’s gonna come out for it with me this time. You should come up and check it out. Well worth the cost of entry.

First and foremost, take a month and put some road miles on it and try and get out in the dirt to the level of off-roading you plan on doing. Keep track of things you would like to be better/different. Then plan each mod around improving the truck to what you want. Nothing worse then running out...
Make sure you have a couple extensions in your tool chest to reach the bolts on the band brackets on the turbos through the wheel wells or else plan on jacking up the front end and removing the front wheels to reach them. It’s an incredibly tight fit getting the new pipes in and positioned on...
I’ve got about another 800 miles on it since I posted this. All commuting and running around town. It’s just butter smooth. I cannot stress enough how refined this tune feels. The trans is always in the right gear and very quick to downshift even in regular mode. Sport mode shifting is still...
I installed the Cobb unit on my rig and I kick myself for not doing it sooner. I absolutely feel a noticeable difference being down in Texas. I understand all the warranty talk, but in my mind it’s simple. Don’t modify if you’re more concerned about paying for repairs. You gotta pay to play! In...
This is the setup I went with. Bracketeer seat rail mount with a Drake off-road quick disconnect for an H3R extinguisher. It’s ok. I think I might scrap it and go with a seat mount that’s made out of canvas and hangs off the passenger head rest.

Ranger Raptor is a start but the power plants they offer in those foreign market rigs leave a lot to be desired. Pretty sure it’s either ecoboost 4 cylinder similar to what’s in the mustang here or a diesel option. They said in the video it was a twin turbo engine they were testing which makes...
Damn that’s looking good... if they throw our raptor drivetrain underneath that thing is going to rip! So to speculate, I say they put the 2.7 TT eco boost in it. That’s if they plan to try and keep the f150 raptor king of the hill. I think 400ish hp/450ish TQ would be a sweet spot from the...
If I’m not mistaken I think they can. Just message and ask. I know they can’t use the Accessport yet as there is no way to load the trans tuning with that device.

So the package cost was 2549 shipped. I think if you priced out the parts individually it makes the SCT tuning device and tubes about 750ish. I think that’s a fair price as you get the performance tune, tow tune, and the trans tuning. Again, the Off-road Alliance guys were great to deal with and...
So, I’ve been running this package for about 1000 miles and thought I would give a review as I haven’t really seen it discussed. For reference, I had been running a COBB stage 1 package with a Goose Tune for roughly 13,000 miles prior to the switch. My reason for the switch was I couldn’t hold...
Installed mine yesterday. Can I just say... this was a bitch of an install! Super tight clearances getting the new pipes in. All in all maybe 1.5 hours spent mainly because I had to run to the parts store for a longer extension. Immediately took the truck out for about 40 miles in the dirt...
