    What is the most ridiculous (in a bad way) mod you have seen on a raptor?

    Ruby I thought the same thing. I can't imagine it's very good at all as a plow truck and certainly a waste of 60K

    Transmission skid

    I was thinking it would be better, and probably the weight negligible compared to the overall weight of these slobs.

    What is the most ridiculous (in a bad way) mod you have seen on a raptor?

    Found this gem today at the local stealership when I had my wife's car in. The owner wasn't there for me to harass. I guess the guy has too much money..

    Red interior dome light

    That is a great point Ruger. I guess DeLorme doesn't make red lens readable maps for civilians. I keep alternate light sources in the center console anyway if it came down to it.

    Red interior dome light

    If anyone is interested I ordered mine through the fellas at Crown Offroad. Firstly they are great to deal with, prompt service, and no issues whatsoever. I recommend doing business with them for sure. As far as the lights go, they are really quite bright for being red. I was expecting...

    Chase Rack/Tire Carrier/Bed Storage

    And you know rule one is ALWAYS look cool! And as a fat kid I do love cake. I know mine wont accept any cover because the rack sits on top of the bed rails as well as wraps over at a 90 along the inside of the bed. I had various covers on my old FX4 and I never really liked any. Other than the...

    Chase Rack/Tire Carrier/Bed Storage

    Hi Kahuna! You and Mr. John Doe bring up a very valid point. Now as it sits I don't have a cover and my light rack pretty much means I wont anytime soon. I keep it parked in my garage which helps too. (Honestly too I am really hoping to keep it there all winter and find myself a suitable winter...

    Chase Rack/Tire Carrier/Bed Storage

    MatMan that is a great set up and I think you stole it for the price he had listed it at on the other forum. I really like that and will probably go in that direction. Any other negatives other than weight? Anything you would change or want to see different? I am thinking now, I would push the...

    Chase Rack/Tire Carrier/Bed Storage

    I was thinking something similar to this one below. I found it over on the F150 forum. He had raptor wheels on it. And to answer your question Rick, Yes just like the first two photos. I haven't seen them before and I though I have exhausted all google had.

    Chase Rack/Tire Carrier/Bed Storage

    However you want to call it, I know these items have been discussed at length in some form or another. I cannot however, find what I am looking for. I have been looking for some time at every vender possible and most homemade set ups. Not finding what I want I am going to play around with...

    Oil on tie rod boot.

    Wfo just curious what dealership you use for your work. I live just down the road from you and typically do mine in Auburn. If they are replacing shocks under warranty I would rather go there. Not to mention I'm the only Raptor my current dealer ever sees.

    Great Exchanges with RDFTS

    Baja Designs Thanks I am really happy about it! There is a bracket behind the mesh that will allow for the mounting of two pod style lights or I believe a 8" bar. I will have to measure to confirm that though. Problem will be the mesh cutting out a vast majority of the light. I was contemplating...

    Great Exchanges with RDFTS

    I wasn't originally going to go with mesh but getting it in the time frame I wanted and making it a Gen 1 that's how it ended up. I am probably going to cut them out and have it Line-Xed this winter. I can't decide on lighting. I like the looks of two pods, probably Baja Designs something, but...

    Great Exchanges with RDFTS

    I am very happy with how everything turned out. Gen 1 Rebel with Amber light, up and running thanks again to Rick and Rogue!

    Great Exchanges with RDFTS

    I bought a set of wheels and light from Rick in two separate exchanges. Both dealings were excellent. After I had committed to the wheels he reiterated and sent along more pictures showing the true condition of the wheels. He didn't misrepresent them and try to blow smoke. He was forthright...

    GEN 1 CONSTANT vibration while driving

    Put a big breasted woman in the passenger seat, sit back and enjoy the jiggle.. Had the same thing in mine. I felt it around 50-60mph through the truck not in the pedals or wheel. It could be so bad the rear end would hop. Alignment, new driveshaft, balanced wheels and shaft didn't fix it...

    Race Red with Satin black bumpers/flares

    Carsten89 Hit your skid plate and it will be perfect. I have done my mirror reflectors, wheels, skid, bumpers and flares. The bottom edge of the flares where the road crap hits it has peeled off but all the rest has been excellent. Going on 3 years now. Looks great on red, nice job!

    12V power

    HarleyGirl is that whip flexible or is it ridged? I was contemplating getting one or two but wonder about breaking it going under low hanging branches, garages or the like.
