    GEN 1 Tie Rod Upgrade - which?

    I have been running the RPGs for about 3 years now. They are incredibly overbuilt. I would support going that route.

    Innov8 Racing Wheels---Group Buy

    I seem to remember that @CUSTOMWHEELS4U was able to match the 15% off we got through the group buy (but could offer it on a per-person basis rather than having to get 5 people together to make the purchase). Ask for Scott Gibson, his customer service is really good and I have been happy every...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    You abandoned the Rogue UCAs? Any reason for choosing the Icons over the Rogue? That setup looks sweet! Good job matching that Ruby Red paint! I too, just got done installing a set of the Advanced Fiberglass Concepts flares and liners two weeks ago...

    In a BIND! Gen1 Complete rear end meeded NOW!

    Thanks for the thorough rundown @themogul22. 130K miles is a lot of time and distance. Add to the fact that I hear Mississippi is a good place to go muddin', I am guessing the previous owner might have punished the truck without taking the proper steps to keep it tip top. I don't put much...

    In a BIND! Gen1 Complete rear end meeded NOW!

    @themogul22 can you explain what happened to your rear-end that required this fix?

    In a BIND! Gen1 Complete rear end meeded NOW!

    With them charging you $7K for a new rear-end, I would agree with some of the other comments here and go with a setup from Currie. Even when I add every possible option to that rear end, the price is $6,278.60. Granted you would have to install it yourself, but the install procedure looks...

    Dogs and noise canceling

    I think it is pretty obvious. Your puppy wants his Gen1 back! And who could blame him?!? :) Seriously though... Could it be a smell issue rather than a hearing issue? New cars off-gas a lot in the first year from all the new plastic and glue/adhesive they pack into the cabs. That might be...

    Pedal commander worth it?

    I have the tune by SVC and the pedal commander. I think the tune got me where I wanted to be but the pedal commander will allow you to tweak the feel of the throttle response. I have been very happy with this setup and would recommend it to anyone.

    GEN 1 Rear Defroster Not Working

    It's funny, I didn't even know there was a defroster in the rear... ha.

    anyone went from geisers to new fox/icon coilovers?

    I am surprised that you noticed such a rough ride when running the Geiser coils and the collars together. Have you given the truck enough time with the setup to break in the springs? I found that my ride quality with the Geisers did improve after offroading a couple times. I own a Gen1 and...

    FIRST Baja run of 2019. 3/1-3/4

    I am already committed to the Tierra Del Sol during that time but this looks like a great trip. Do you usually limit the number of trucks to 8?

    How necessary are upgraded bump stops?

    From a Gen1 perspective - If your intention is to get it offroad in the desert and or dunes, especially anything that will get the Raptor airborne, then adding the bumpstops is necessary. The frame support kit that the bump stops attach to is arguably more necessary since it boxes out the frame...

    Bumper is structurally in good condition. Cosmetically it has scratches and a small dent at the bottom. Pictures should give you a good idea of its condition. Local pickup only. Bumper is located in San Jose, CA.

    My New Favorite Jackstands

    I think it really depends on how often you find yourself working on your rear suspension. I find myself taking off my rear shocks somewhat regularly to clean them and replace the torn boots after trips through the desert. Nowadays, that is where I use them the most. Besides that though, these...

    My New Favorite Jackstands

    I usually jack from the frame behind the area where the jack stands are in the following picture. I have a riser attached to my jack which makes it possible to reach the frame (picture below). Hope this helps!

    Banks tests aftermarket differential covers

    Gale Banks from Banks Power (who, you will realize, is the Mr. Rogers of the automotive industry, after you watch these videos) is doing a YouTube series which will test the effectiveness of aftermarket differential covers. He has completed 2 out of 3 videos that sets the stage for his testing...

    Stock Gen2 tow hook insulators

    Do you mean a tow hook isolator? If so, I don't think these would be needed for a Raptor since the factory tow hooks are fixed and don't run the risk of rattling or banging against anything. Otherwise, I am not sure what a tow hook insulator is; Can you send more details of what you are...

    Mid Perch Question

    I agree with everyone else here, mid perch is a good setup. When I was running the 2.5s, I had the Geiser springs too which raised the front even more. I had no problems with binding on the front end in 4wd even when jumping the truck and the suspension was at full extension. Remember to be a...

    BFG AT KO2 (35x12.5R17) with 2014 Raptor Wheels

    My friend is saying I am asking too much for this setup. What do you guys think a fair FRF deal would be for these?

    Check this out!! Add a dipstick from B&M

    Pretty cool. These instructions would have to be modified a bit for a Gen1 because I think the clearance between the pan and the exhaust is tighter; Trying to swap out the old dipstick with the new one while the truck was running would most certainly lead to charred knuckles.

    Highway speed vibration.

    At the risk of stating something that you probably already know... I would suggest that you get your tires Road Force Balanced and get an alignment too. I would be surprised if it were the tie rod ends causing the issue unless they were severely worn out and you could actually see the play in...
