Bumping an old thread.
Replacing the stock Sony sub with one of powered subs suggested in this thread. What is the proper way to wire it up?
In jgwoody's picture, it is using the stock harness, but it looks like there are other wires coming from somewhere else.
B8, I did order them from Eastern Shore Retros. I haven't gotten them yet. I think they were waiting on a shipment this week. I've pretty much ordered all Morimoto stuff they make for the Gen1 from ES Retros. Just waiting for stuff to get here. Well I didn't order the 3rd brake light and...
Thanks blwn, I did find on their forum that this was also done back in 2020, then it was reinstated. I didn't see this post on their website. I thought it was really strange that I saw all this info and saw videos talking about downloading FORScan Lite, but I could never find it anywhere on...
Good point. I have BT scanner on order that is compatible with FORScan Lite. I'm not sure if it is possible to do that with a Lite version though. I might have to go full version.
This thread is 1.5 yrs old, but I didn't see anything else in the search.
Where can I get the FORSCan Lite app for Android? I don't see it in Google Play.
The incandescent turn signal in the headlight was blown. After I changed it, it still blinks fast. I'm seeing now that people have seen a neg ground show up in their scanners. The BCM has to be reset or cleared then the blinkers work at normal pace.
Sorry to hijack thread......what was this...
Thanks Cody and Boricuaevo8. When I saw those front Morimoto signals, I was thinking the front of my stock mirror should be blinking. So I thought a bulb was out at first and giving me the fast blinking even after I changed turn signal bulb in the headlight. I've only had the truck a couple...
Ok, so there are no turn signals on the front of the mirror?
They look nice.
So if I don't have lights on the front of the mirror, I need to order the front and back side mirror turn signals, correct?
I like the Morimoto 3rd brake/bed light from but I'd rather put the $200 into headlights...
This raises a question for me. I have a 2012, was it standard to have turn signals on the front of the mirror?
Mine don't blink, just the turn signal on the back side of the mirror blinks.
My amber bulb in the front headlight assembly blew and I was getting the fast blinker. Changed the bulb...
I posed the question to Morimoto, about not wanting to have the DRLs and only wanting the LEDs around the perimeter to come on when I turn the parking lights or headlights on.
Morimoto replied, saying don't plug the adaptor into the fuse box. This makes sense but I wasn't sure if they would...
Thanks for the link. I had not found those guys yet.
I ordered the Morimoto Tail lights, grill, markers over the weekend. My headlights are aftermarket and were getting fogged up in high humidity and rain...so I have to swap those out. I like the XB Hybrids, I'm just trying to avoid the DRL...
Raptor is a 2012, with some aftermarket headlight. I'm thinking of replacing with the XB or XB Hybrids.
Was HID available in 2012? I don't know what mine is.
Does it matter if it was Halogen or HID in order to use these Morimotos? From the website it doesn't seem like it matters.
Final and...
So I guess ya'll don't like the idea of getting hitch with 9" drop and using that? :D
Alright, ya'll have convinced me to scratch the idea. I'll just jack at the frame one side at a time when I change that side's leaf spring.
I changed a leave spring on my old Lariat, I think I put it on jack...
You would definitely want to make sure the front wheels were firmly chocked.
For me I guess you could lift up one side at a time when getting the leaf springs out and new ones installed, instead of lifting the entire rear end.
Birdman posted a very nice write up on installing Deavers. I'm looking to do this soon but I think I want this receiver jack extender thingamabob. I've been searching the interwebs and can't find one. Anybody know where I can buy something similar? Or what do you call it?
Thanks P4SHOCAT. I lucked out on a Lariat that had a painted bumper and a guy was taking off the same color bumper for a Ranch Hand Bumper. $150 and didn't have to paint.
I didn't notice until I got under there to look at where the Baja Design fogs were going to mount. It's hard to tell in that picture with the glare and grim. I've got some scraps on the fenders I might get worked on and might do the bumper as well. It can ride for now. I think I will focus...
I just bought a black Gen 1. The truck has been sprayed, at least partially. The flares and bumpers are body matched and so is the front skid.
So I think this thing had a minor nose dive, because the lower bumper is beat up where they tried to straighten it out. See the crappy pic I posted...
Yes sir, stinking budgets. I think I'll do what you're thinking as well. I just bought the Gen 1 used, 145k, and I'm thinking the shocks are ready for a rebuild and I'll do Deavers and Geisers. I think I'll keep Geisers on low perch, and do +2 or +3 Deavers. I expect the front springs to...
@Cody Templeton
The Alpharex website doesn't show a Raptor specific tail light, but only 09 - 14 F150. I'm assuming this would work.

Irregular, don't know if you
Irregular, I don't know if you are still looking but these guys did a comparison of Eibach and Geiser. They have Gen 2's but I think it is comparable. Basically the Eibachs are better on the street and not as stiff with the linear rates. The Geisers are...
Citizen Park, those are awesome. I would've done the white C-clamp, but seeing them with the side and grill markers, I think you made the right choice. I might have to get a set after I do some suspension work.
Thanks for posting this Cody. Those would look good on my Tux Black. I need suspension first I think. The previous owner put aftermarket Heads and Tails and I'm not a fan of them. I'm sure they are pretty old as well. I'm not sure what my options are since it was a 2012 and I think they had...
I'm an idiot. I found the Morimoto side markers also. So does anybody have pics of these in the day/night time? How are they holding up? I assume they are plug and play, looks like Stage 3 has a video of the grill install.
