    Pro trailer back up assist

    Don’t know what a ‘22 is supposed to come with. My ‘18 came with a sticker kit. I put a sticker on my 16’ open trailer. It worked when I was backing on a flat surface but not when backing on uneven ground. Since much of my use involves uneven ground, backup assist didn’t work for me...

    Travel Advisory - San Antonio Texas

    Bummer. All the so called “vaults” and “safes” just slow the thieves down.

    Anybody else add pinstripes to their Raptor??

    No immediate plans. Film is doing its job and looks AOK from 10 feet.

    Anybody else add pinstripes to their Raptor??

    Plenty of pinstriping on my 2018, even with a full xpel wrap. None of the pinstripes have gone completely through the film, though some are deep enough into the film that they don’t disappear when left in the sun.

    Roof racks - what are the options?

    Cody. I was going to recommend a BackRack, but there isn’t a fit fit a Gen1.

    Travel Advisory - San Antonio Texas

    Sorry to hear. Happened to me at the Courtyard by Marriott SAT. Check to see if your horn works. One of the first things that they teach young scoundrels is to pop the horn wire connector, passenger side behind the grill. No horn means no alarm. I’m guessing that these thieves have their own...

    Noisy NEW KO2's

    Do some trouble shooting first. Put your spare on the front left. If the sound is gone, it’s the tire. If the sound is still there, it is something mechanical…possibly a wheel bearing…possibly something else.

    Once you get your masculinity in place, the mini van really cannot be beat.

    Looking at buying a used raptor - tips advice?

    Ask to see maintenance records. Oil change intervals, filters (oil, intake, cabin), etc. How old are the tires and how much tread is left? How many after market parts and tunes are on the truck? These can void warranties. Is it lifted? Do the original parts come with the vehicle? Was the...

    Move from BMW X5 to Raptor?

    First off I love my Gen 2 Raptor. My opinion is that pinnacle SUV models of the “luxury” brands have better tech, far better audio, and superior headlights than the Raptor. I’ve owned Volvo XC90’s since 2004. To me they are far better DD’s, especially in an urban area. I’m in the Raptor six...

    Ravelco vs. Kill Switch

    The Ravelco installers that I used in Houston are Vinnie and Jimmy, a father son team. They did a great job.

    Noisy NEW KO2's

    The “not round”, “hard to balance” issues happened in the early days of Raptor KO2’s also. Personally I’m on set three and have had good luck. I do replace them at around 30k due to living off pavement 6 months a year on very rough/rocky roads. I also use balance beads, which I’m happy with.

    Like nikhsub1 says, wheel bearing. Had this happen to me twice on various Swedish vehicles.

    Ravelco vs. Kill Switch

    I’ve got the Ravelco unit mounted under the dash above the gas pedal. It’s a small pain and pi$$es me off that there are butt holes looking to steal what I have. That’s another topic. The Ravelco gives me some peace of mind. Same with the console safe. Neither will keep the BH’s from breaking in.

    Quick question on upfitter wires

    The upfitter wires on my gen 2 are tiny. Some of them are like 20 gauge or smaller. I soldered 14 gauge to each of them and the pass through wires, to make them easier to work with. I attached the lengthened wires to Deutsch 6 plug connectors. Now all of the wires are plug and play.

    Quick question on upfitter wires

    Consider soldering wire extensions to the upfitter wires. It’ll make your life easier down the road. Maybe a foot or so of 14 AWG stranded wire to each.
