    10k maintenance “The works”

    At my dealership “the works” is just their name for an oil change and tire rotation.

    Clunk/thump from small bumps at slow speed

    My clang/rattle/thump is clearly related to going over bumps, it's not while on/off gas or in a certain gear and I suspect it happens at all speeds but at some point there's too much road noise to hear it. I couldn't move the end links when pulling on them and the skid plate was on there solid...

    Clunk/thump from small bumps at slow speed

    Thanks for the responses so far. I don't have anyone here right now to press down on the bumper but I did get under and felt the end links - there was no movement on them. At the very least it seems this isn't normal expected operations. These suggestions gave me some new search terms and it...

    Clunk/thump from small bumps at slow speed

    I have a stock '18 Screw with 26K miles. Tire pressure is 35-38 PSI on original KO2s. When traveling over small abrupt bumps on pavement (probably happens off-road too, just never noticed it), think a minor pot hole or a manhole cover, at slow speeds (5-20 mph) I hear a noticeable clunk/thump. I...

    Ceramic coating

    I don't have any experience with it so my opinion is probably stupid, but it seems too expensive/time consuming for what basically amounts to a fancy wax job. If it protected from scratches I'd be all for it.

    Question #20: Snow tires

    Isn't that the truth. My KO2s are at the end of their life at 25K and I've been thinking about what to replace them with. I am unhappy that they only lasted 25K but everything else about them has been solid. I come on here to read tire suggestions and for every positive comment about a tire...

    Is everybody's Home-link reception/reach really bad?

    Mine works well in general. On approach I can successfully open the door from at least 1-2 houses away. I've never tried further. Sometimes when backing out and still in the driveway I have to hit the button more than once to get it to close.

    Let's be real about it ... Should I just trade for a 250?

    This has been touched upon, but you really don't need so much stuff/weight to go camping. I have never understood the appeal of a RTT beyond the fact that it looks cool. The infrastructure for it is too heavy (in general) and too permanent (you don't take it off between trips right?), putting me...

    this is shady af right?

    You have every right to be upset, they definitely wasted your time. But I doubt this is the first time this tactic has been used by this dealership and the behavior is likely not limited to this individual. If it were me, I'd focus my efforts on the next potential truck target and not wasting my...

    this is shady af right?

    Yeah, it's shady. When I was shopping for a used Raptor I had one dealership agree a $2K reduction from their advertised price. Then when they provided the written itemized invoice showing the reduction plus TTL they tacked on $1900 in BS extras like VIN etching and something about a SafeKey. I...

    AC issues in Texas heat

    My 18 blows plenty cool at the coldest settings but when using auto mode on a hot day it doesn't seem to pump out enough air to keep it at the set temp. To feel like it's 70 inside I have to turn down to 66-68 depending on how sunny it is. This is exacerbated with people in the back seat, since...

    Raptor Assault Highlights!

    Looks like a blast and so useful. I bought a used 18 and wish I could pay to attend this.

    Triple Bezel Kit from Offroad Alliance (pics, short review)

    Thanks for posting this. I've been looking around at fogs and thought the bezel kit looks great for my needs (to look stock/finished, primarily used on-road). Care to elaborate about installation of the bezels? I watched the install video on the off-road alliance page and it shows them just...

    What do I need to know about fog lights?

    Thanks for all of the responses here, the info is incredibly helpful. I will sort through these suggestions and reach out to people/vendors as appropriate.

    What do I need to know about fog lights?

    Hi - I have a 2018 screw and, after getting over a bit of sticker shock, am considering adding fog lights in the stock pocket locations. I would be doing this primarily for looks, just to make the front look finished and fill in the holes, and for additional on-road (so legal/non-blinding)...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    What about in the rain, haha -weather looking crappy.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    I live in the area but have never been on that road. I was thinking of taking the kids up there for some fun/site seeing and a picnic lunch. Do you foresee any issues tackling this on my own (stock 18 SCREW)?
