    Stock Spark Plug Gapping

    Page 397 of the manual states the gap for a 6.2L V8 is the following: .041-.047 in. 1.04-1.20 mm That said, if you run something like a NGK sparkplug it looks like NGK says .030 is acceptable. I think sticking with the spark plug manufacturer's recommendation is probably safe since they...

    Blown speaker, replacement options?

    Check this how-to out: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f170/kicker-door-speaker-tweeter-upgrade-kit-install-50573/ I did just the four main speakers and the tweeters. They sound much better than stock. No need to mess with the amp or the sub. Very easy install and around the budget you are...

    You said in your OP you were looking to trad for stock wheels + cash. What was the +cash you were looking for?

    Rogue or ADD front bumper???

    I really liked the ADD Venom but I ultimately went with a Rogue. Mostly because it is a little different than what you see on a lot of Raptors, and the build quality looked top notch. I decided on the Rogue Rebel bumper (before they changed the skid plate config). The quality of the bumper...

    Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA)

    I am not sure how successful I will be to resurrect a 4yo thread but here it goes: I have headed to Ocotillo Wells for Tierra Del Sol the past three years. It is mostly and excuse to see old college buddies and blow off a cannon since the routes during that event favor rock crawlers. I know...

    Gen 1 Owners - What Say You ?(2017)

    I say I would purchase the FRF Supporting Member subscription if it meant I could mute the Gen 2 discussions.

    How To Kicker door speaker and tweeter upgrade kit Install

    I did the upgrade to just the speakers (not the sub). I noticed a difference but it wasn't until I started adjusting the fade that I really was able to make it sound good. Strange how just moving the sound from front to rear would make such an impact. I have heard the sub included in this kit...

    Icon Alloys Six Speed Wheels

    Icon_Fred, do you know if these wheels can be ordered with flat center caps like the RM2's? Here is an example of what I am talking about:

    GEN 1 RPG Tie Rods Withstand The Most Brutal Punishment!

    I replaced it with a stock replacement from Ford (along with stock UCA and LCA). I toyed with the idea of getting a gusseted one but my intention is to go with the RPG long travel kit that includes their monster knuckle. That is a pretty expensive direction to go though, so I couldn't pull...

    GEN 1 RPG Tie Rods Withstand The Most Brutal Punishment!

    The sad thing is I _did_ explain how the tie rods were set up. Next time I am going to get under the truck, undo the boots and make the mechanic physically see that there is another joint on the steering rack side.

    GEN 1 RPG Tie Rods Withstand The Most Brutal Punishment!

    I have been so impressed with the RPG tie rods. On the last poker run hosted by ROC, I ran my truck into a boulder going about 40mph and bent my steering knuckle. The RPG tie rods took the punishment and remained straight and true. I have since fixed my truck and brought it in this weekend to...

    Raptor caught in the tide

    I like how they still have the key zip tied to the steering column. That is what you call hope.

    NEW! ADD's New Venom R Front Bumper!

    It has been a while since this thread has been updated, but has anyone ordered this bumper without the ADD badging? I would like to see pictures of that if they are available. Any discount for FRF members? :)

    802a (Lux Pack) Moon Roof Q...

    +1 Nothing beats a sunny summer day with every window / moonroof open... It comes close to being a convertible at that point. I have a 2013, no leaks, no rattles. But I live in California, so I also have no seasons, so it may be an unfair test of the seals. With regard to offloading...

    Any disappointments with Toyo M/T?

    One more update to my original comment. I brought the truck in to check if the wheels were properly balanced. It turned out that they were about 4 oz out of balance! I got that fixed, no more steering wheel wobble, and the truck feels solid again. I am not sure what happened on the day I got the...

    Any disappointments with Toyo M/T?

    I need to amend my comment here. This weekend I took the truck out to some BLM land near Carson City. I aired down the tires and took them to task. 85mph+ over long stretches 45mph over some pretty harsh terrain 30mph over some whoops that scrambled an egg salad sandwich I had in my cooler...

    Thanks Paul, Matt, and Rich for rolling out the welcome wagon and showing us around some of Nevada's BLM land! I think everyone had a good time. Here are some pictures of the day:

    GEN 1 Juggernaut Catch Can Install

    I am reminded of a quote from S.R. Haddon: "First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?" I tried my hand at the bracket again since the welds on the first one weren't that great and the overall end product didn't look that finished. I made a...

    Intro to desert trial runs

    I just signed up for this weekend, is it too late to do that? Just want to make sure before I make plans for the weekend. Thanks!

    Any disappointments with Toyo M/T?

    Thanks Truckzor, I will try a higher air pressure. Hoping not to hijack this thread but what is the pressure you guys run the Toyo MTs offroad? I was running 20psi with the BFG ATs on stock wheels with good luck but since the Toyo sidewall is so thick I was thinking I might be able to go a...

    GEN 1 Juggernaut Catch Can Install

    Thank you WRC Raptor! Nice attention to detail noticing the ECS box :) If you actually want a bracket, I could probably make another if you would be willing to cover the materials and shipping. Just PM me if you are interested.
