    WTT: Gen1 Beauty rings SE for true beadlock rings

    Thanks!! I've been lurking for a set for a while, I'm sure I missed some good deals but once I heard these beauty rings sell for $250 a pop on ebay (admittedly that's probably for perfect condition, but still) I figured I'd pull them off and clean them up and see what I could do. Ebay wants a...

    WTT: Gen1 Beauty rings SE for true beadlock rings

    Not pristine, some small scratches/nicks/scrapes. But not hideous either, the factory finish is shiny and overall I'd say 95%, maybe 98%? 12 Factory bolts included for each one (and I need the fasteners for the true rings). I've been saving boxes and bubble wrap, so they will be lovingly...

    19" of rear travel with a full bed?

    That is all kinds of badass. Not the least of which the dual-rate springs. Do want.

    First time Front Shock rebuild

    My take; 1. It might, just the decal alone makes moving the perch difficult, had to use a 12-ton press to move to mid perch (partially because I forgot Mr. Setscrew, d'oh). 2. I haven't but it's a simple round external snap ring, no reason why SS wouldn't work if it's the same ID and...

    2011 Raptor with no fox shocks or Aux switches?!

    Looks like Border Patrol to me, and either the 2nd owner or the wholesaler that got it (I think they sold them right at 100k miles, after a few years of abuse) just bought a console on ebay and didn't care about the upfitter switches. I can't see the fronts but no tellin' what those rears are...

    Kola peninsula (Russia)

    Looking at it on Google Earth doesn't do it justice, it is REMOTE on a whole different level, a massive expanse of territory. And a lot of military presence, I'm sure there were FSB all along the border!!!

    PD1744's Build

    OMG OEM FTW!!! At least when it comes to those lower balljoints, FoMoCo made ‘em apocalypse-proof haha! Glad you got them swapped and it helped. I gotta replace my front seat foam soon and not looking forward to it heh. How far west? Also looking at moving this year but likely only as far as TX/OK…

    Gen 3 to Gen 1 consideration

    Taliban tan lol! Dude if it's within reach hold out for an R, just IMHO but that's the only thing I'd give up my Gen1 for (in a heartbeat, shhh don't tell her). Unfortunately I don't think the buy 2-3 years old strategy is going to work for me there heh, much as I wish it would. On the flip...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    No I don't think so, you'd be better off putting it towards bump stops, brake lines, tires, etc.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I have Geisers on low perch (had stock springs on mid, seems about the same height-wise) and +3 Deavers, stock length Camburg shackles, sits pretty much dead level without much/any weight in the bed... I didn't actually measure fender height before/after. But I was thinking Geisers on mid...

    Ford F150 Master Brake Cylinder Class Action lawsuit

    I would usually exhaust every other possibility before replacing the master cylinder, but in light of the accusations maybe sooner is better than later heh. By other possibilities I mean rubber lines (can crack with age), caliper rebuild/replace (although if that was really the problem it would...

    High mileage owners please check in

    367k!!! That's awesome. In my quest for replacing valve springs I came across one old post here on FRF that mentioned those rocker tips collapsing but there was never any explanation or elaboration (this was from like '11 and I think warranty just replaced the rocker assemblies). What was...

    Ford F150 Master Brake Cylinder Class Action lawsuit

    Nothing yet, www.f150brakelitigation.com and a quick internet search for the case number (Weidman, et al., v. Ford Motor Company, case No. 2:18-cv-12719-GAD-JJG) yields some heavily-legalese responses and orders but it appears the wheels of justice are grinding forward, no trial date set but it...

    GEN 1 Anyone running the Gen 1 Eibach front springs?

    Tell me about it. Damn you Dave Ramsey, I want an SVC mid travel, not 15% of net income in a 401k that's hemorrhaging money anyway!!

    Is there a Gen 1 6.2 Aluminum Expansion Tank anywhere?

    Pretty sure he's talking radiator overflow tank...sorry I don't know of one but would be interested if there was. And I don't see why the Mishi wouldn't work, that factory tank looked (key word heh) identical on my old work truck ('14 STX 5L) as my '13 Raptor.

    It is. Sounds like it's leading to fuel pump and checking the connector/wire loom branch going to it...

    random stalling issue

    Oof that seems like overkill, if you could even find one, I would be more inclined to unwind the approximately 8 miles of electrical tape on it and just visually check the insulation on each wire all the way to the connectors (and each pin in each connector). Good question though on potential...

    random stalling issue

    Well hell, hope the old throttle body cures THAT little trick, not cool. Also hope those damaged wires were the root cause, did it look good above and aft of that point? Was watching my tach earlier for grins, you said 600RPM is expected idle, is that what you see on the gauges? At startup...
