    Your Raptors Audio System

    In an effort to have all information relative to the Raptor's audio system contained in a single thread, would you be able to form a generic list of equipment needed to improve the replace the individual components in the Raptor? No need to mention brands or quality here. For instance: (1)...

    18" Fuel Trophy D551 & MT ATZ P3

    I like it. I think 18" still looks good with 35s and on-road performance improves without sacrificing too much off-road performance. I think I'd still prefer 17s, but this combination doesn't look bad at all. I like the stance and the extra width the wheels give. Do the tires rub anywhere on...

    Your Raptors Audio System

    What do you recommend for those that want to maintain the stock look? I have the Sync system with the Sony sound system and am looking for better sound. I am not willing to part with the head unit as it is the Sync system. I am willing to replace the amplifier and speakers as well as eh sub, but...

    Your Raptors Audio System

    So, it would be desirable for say, a tweeter, to have a steep upward curve at about 2000Hz, then completely straight through about 20,000Hz, then a steep downward curve? Right?

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Got me a new rear-camera-compatible Ford emblem color-matched to the F-150 and Raptor emblems on the tailgate. Took all of 5 minutes to install and finish quality is top-notch.

    on board air compressor

    I had an OBA system in my Jeep that I had installed. I used a Viair 100% duty compressor and mounted it under the hood and had a 2.5g tank mounted under the body where the stock muffler was located. I had my connection point on a tire rack mounted to the rear tailgate. Worked great. I...

    Narrow Down to Two Wheels for my Oxford White Raptor

    I like the Fuel Octanes in 18" with a 35" tire. I don't like them in 20" with a 35" tire. Maybe if you were going 37", but certainly not 35" You will learn to appreciate the sidewall. Have you looked at Method and KMC? They also make some affordable "street" wheels - by street wheels, I...

    Waze

    Just downloaded to my iPhone and created a username "TaxmanRaptor". Not sure how to add "friends". It seems to only allow adding from my contact list or Facebook. I can't just enter a username and have Waze find them. Anyone know how to do this? I searched, but the Waze website keeps telling...

    ^^^ What LED fog and light bars are those? I love the corner lights and how clean they look!

    Search, but visually, it's not a huge difference, but enough to be noticeable for us. My wife didn't realize it, nor did most of the folks at the office. One or two realized at the office, but that's because they're truck guys and know better. I added about 1-1/4" in height at the front...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Is there a bumper similar to this that doesn't require cutting the frame rails? I understand that it won't increase the approach angle as much as this one and it won't look as "tucked in," but I'd rather not cut the frame rails at this point in my relationship with the Raptor.

    Perch Mod Discussion

    ^^^^ Yeah, I agree the shocks "wear in" and get smoother over time. Especially since mine are so new and have about 2k miles on them only. I think part of it also is that we get used to the ride. I rode in it this morning and it already felt better. Like I stated, absolutely no regrets. I...

    Any acceptable brushes for washing?

    This is one aspect of owning my previous Jeep that I will miss. I ripped out the carpet and had the interior bed-lined. I just took the doors off and hosed everything off after a day of wheeling. The Raptor is so nice, I've hand-washed it three times in two weeks! I duct-taped a sponge to a...

    Mid perch. That's all.

    Just got the mid perch done. My observations are consistent with everyone's remarks. I've driven about 20 miles or so on city roads. No off-roading yet. Maybe this weekend, but for sure in Sept sometime. I've noticed improvements in: - stance (visually better) - acceleration seems...

    against the law to color change wrap??

    I've never heard of this. I would check your local municipal ordinances for anything that prohibits all wraps, or just wraps with advertising. Unless you live in a town like Elmore City, Oklahoma, I wouldn't worry about law enforcement stopping you because you changed the color of your truck...

    That's what I keep telling all the Jeep folks! It took me 20 years of driving Jeeps to realize how grossly underpowered they are.

    Rigid RDS? Anyone? For the Love of God...

    Would the 20" fit in the lower bumper location? I'm thinking it'll look and fit better than a flat LED bar. Only available in spot though. I need a combo light there.

    Looking to do mid-perch sometime this week. Has anyone seen reports of any CV joint failures with mid-perch on 2014s? I'm on 4wd quite a bit on sand at the outer banks in NC. I'm going to the outer banks in a few weeks with about 20 Jeeps (including my wife's). I'll be the only non-Jeep in...

    Smashed LCA mount

    I like this idea, but that's some seriously thick metal. You'll need a grade 8 bolt or you'll just strip the threads and end up cutting the bolt to get it out of there. Just to be clear, the piece will always remain smashed (more battle scars). You don't have to get it to look pretty, but I...
