    Consider taking SD44 across South Dakota. Much better than the interstate.

    Mud Flaps - should I / should I not?

    I’ve got Gatorbak mudflaps on my Gen 2. The back drivers side keeps getting ripped off when backing over ledges. So now I have three flaps:) I can see where all four of the flaps could get ripped off when backing over ledges. If you don’t do rock crawling likely no issues:) The long front...

    HVAC fan weak?

    Actually New Recaros is right on. Max cool is only good for a quick cool, not a deep cool. Keeping the temp control and fan speed in the middle will result in a cooler interior. Common forum knowledge tells us to only use the dash vents for cooling, otherwise the AC gets overwhelmed. Try...

    Dimming/Flicker with 1 pair of Lights

    Did this pair flicker from day 1? Might be a loose connection somewhere in the wires from light to light and or lights to switch or maybe a bad crimp. Check all connections. Troubleshot as best you can. Try jiggling wires to reproduce the flicker. If you can isolate each light in the pair...

    Dealing with dust advice

    OP. I live in a world of dust six months a year. During this time, I remove dust only when it really bugs me. One note is to wipe down your seatbelts as well as the metal bar that the seat belt moves on. The dust eventually coats both the belt and the bar, causing the belt to slow way down...

    Flat tire advice needed

    I’ve had great luck with the Safety Seal plug kits. Best in class and made in the USA. I also recommend the Discount Tire road hazard insurance. My last plugged tire still slowly leaked. Discount Tire took a look and replaced the tire at no charge. https://safetyseal.com/

    Any with a fridge mounted in the bed?

    These fridges will only cool so many degrees below ambient. I use an ARB Elements in the Raptor. Also a tonneau cover. At highway speeds the ARB will keep things cold and kind of frozen in hot weather. Cold things stay cold, just not hard frozen. Our grocery runs are 150 miles. The ARB in...

    Any with a fridge mounted in the bed?

    Affirmative on spare tire removal. Also need to be aware of frame members, gas lines, brake lines, wiring, etc before you drill holes in the bed. Make a plan before drilling.

    2018 Raptor broken into.

    mmayo…thanks. As it turns out, I need to drive to San Antonio again next week to fly back to MN for a funeral. FIL passed on at age 94. I’m having Northside Ford put in a passenger side handle on the drivers side. While the truck is at the dealer, the local Ravelco tech will install the anti...

    2018 Raptor broken into.

    Airport hotel in San Antonio. Truck was in deep sleep mode. It was a junior thief for sure. A senior thief would have gotten the truck. I’m in Terlingua now…no locks needed down here. My question to the group. If I do the door handle mod, what do the thieves do then? Do they keep prying...

    2018 Raptor broken into.

    Picked up my truck from the hotel parking lot in San Antonio to find the drivers door jimmied. Handle broken, lock cylinder exposed, damage to the Xpel wrap, and a very small dent. Not much missing inside. Anybody know of a body shop that’ll put a passenger side door handle on the drivers...

    Thoughts on preventative battery change?

    The reason I ask is that I'm using 4 of the X2Power batteries in various vehicles, one of which gets very hard use. So far so good for these batts, and unhappy to hear of your lack of warranty from Batteries and Bulbs. I called my local store and they told me that if there is evidence of...

    Thoughts on preventative battery change?

    Sorry for the bummer experience. There’s got to be more to the story. Did you bring the battery into the store dead? Meaning very low voltage?

    Thoughts on preventative battery change?

    The deal with batteries is that they last LONGER in cool/cold environments but they lose capacity. So we upsize the battery size to take the reduced capacity into account. Conversely in hot environments the capacity goes up but the life is shortened. With the same usage a battery will die...
