Good luck with the other Raptor

Congrats Enjoy the Raptor

Even more expensive to get out of... :)

Rolling in a different direction can REALLY add to noise level. Just experienced this myself. Most of this due to my shocks being totally blown out and doing nothing at all of value as a shock anymore. I swapped my front tires from side to side while doing brakes last week. The right front was...

I'll jump in with my .02. This place is WAY more forgiving and nicer than many other forums I am on or have been on. Getting a suggestion to read the site's rules and abide by them doesn't seem like it is asking too much. Most forums delete the offending posts. Especially for sale ads. AND... I...

Wish I were in the area

That IS the hope :)

I had been hoping to make it a few more weeks until the Raptor gets put away for winter:( Rotors had been warped since I got the truck. Got the power stop carbon fiber/ceramic extreme pads and e-coated rotors. Plans were to go through and replace a lot of stuff. SHOCKS especially. Even with new...

I think I have you beat now... Wondered what the noise and growling was. Made it into the rotor...

Conversation hits home... I actually had a 2010 or '11 Explorer that got me into my Raptor a couple years ago. Saw the Raptor listed and offered my 96 Bronco towards it. No interest there but was told owner needed a daily driver. I replied, "sorry, all I got is my Explorer". We ended up meeting...

A couple other vehicles I have used CHEAP parts to diagnose. Thought was same. See if the actual problem was the part I was thinking it was. If so, replace the cheapy with better quality after confirmation. Some I have been able to leave in place for the rest of owning the vehicle. Some others...

Thread is just about to have it's 7th birthday

Truck looks nice. Preserving it sounds like a good idea. Bedliner on the entire outside :( That is for stuff already rotten and trying to hide holes. An entire vehicles worth is heavy too. My solution has been driving cheap "winter beaters" and putting the Raptor away for winter (salt/chloride...

Rapley :) Congrats on the Rapley Enjoy it

Without anyplace in my area that will or "likes to" turn rotors anymore, that has become a thing of the past in my area. I just buy new rotors. I will share in case it helps... My shocks are so bad now (165,000 miles, and the factory stock as far as I know and guess) that I got bad wheel hop...

Congrats Enjoy the Raptor even w/o the rainbow wrap :)

Congrats Enjoy the Raptor

Looks like a fun truck. Good luck with it. I am in snowy (salty/chloride) area too. I have been looking at Kenda Klevers and lately Arisun Aresta tires if I were to do winter driving. They are both on the cheaper side.

Hopefully nobody sees this and decides it is OK to tow their boat of that size a long distance/cross country. No doubt it can be done. But I wouldn't be comfortable and wouldn't want to see highway speeds. Good brakes on the trailer would be REAL important to me too. As mentioned, best of luck...
