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

    Took it down the best* legal trail in Orange County, CA (Maple Springs/Main Divide to Santiago Peak). * the only legal "trail" (dirt road) in Orange County, CA. Definitely put a smile on my face.

    Gen2 Winching & Recovery Options

    Has anyone done a front receiver on a gen2? Assume this pretty much has to be integrated into an aftermarket bumper?

    Fake Ford Parts

    Wow, thanks for posting that...didn't know that was an issue yet, but I should've guessed. Amazon has become so ridiculous with counterfeit crap. And they do nothing. And apparently their system for third-party vendors encourages it...spec a part number and if you have the best price, you win...

    GEN 2 Gen 3 mule spied

    My guess is the 2021 F-150 is not the "14th generation" F-150 but rather a second refresh to the 13th gen (2015-present). Basing this on it appearing to have same cab. It could be similar to the difference between 11th gen (04-08) and 12th gen (09-14), where half the components are common...

    Nikola's Badger

    If they got rid of the "concept car" lines but kept the basic style and made it a bit more conventional looking, I'd say it looks pretty good. That is, remove the Tron-meets-Pep-Boys plastic/neon lower door applique and ditch the 45-degree angle C-pillar thingy.

    GEN 2 Fabtech 4 inch lift on 2018

    I agree completely, and also I think the California would benefit equally from a 4" lift and 22s. Blend in or stand out! All the poors here are just jealous.

    Nav/dvd while driving

    English-english narration would be awesome, regrettably it's the same lady in there. As far as I can tell it just enables address entry and all other nav functions that would be blocked out while in motion. I think some settings stuff may still be blocked out...but maybe that was just the...

    If it was your money... Gen 1 or Gen 2?

    How much more tech is there really in a Gen 2 than a Gen 1, if you exclude the motor? Yeah, the EPAS is certainly a valid point, as are the Live Valve shocks in 19+ (but those can be replaced/disabled). And note that when I say "tech", I mean overcomplex crap that breaks or can't be easily...

    Nav/dvd while driving

    Forscan can enable nav in motion, I did it to mine (2019). You lose 911 assist. Also your speed limit sign becomes like the ones in yrup instead of murica (red circle around it). Appears to be just region-coding it for Europe. On Forscan spreadsheet, see APIM tab and look for "NAV in...

    Banged up my baby

    One of the reasons I'm trying white this time, not that I even offroad 20% of the time as many of you..but one *@#$!$%*ing tree/bush in a day was all it took to require a bunch of work to the 2011 Tux Black.

    New country new toy!

    Looks badass! I think I'd have to do the same if I wound up in yrup.

    GEN 2 Raptor Warranty Denial 2018 Under 36/36

    This is particularly infuriating to read. If you're in a position to do so, make them permanently remove the flag before they work on it. In my opinion these asshats should be comping you a 7/100 ESP as well out of goodwill. Hearing this does a tremendous amount of damage to their brand...

    Helped unflip a Jeep today

    Wow, glad they're alright, awesome work getting it back upright. Sorry to be that guy...and I'm not exactly super-experienced...but I gotta say it... that kind of strap is super dangerous (deadly). If it comes loose all the force that was pulling on a 5,000lb vehicle can accelerate that 5lb...

    Questions for aluminum-slatted roll-up bed cover owners (Truxedo Sentry/BAK Revolver)

    I think modern long-slack-low bikes aren't going to work with insta-gater in a Raptor. When I ride solo I just lay bike down in back of bed, and it barely fits diagonally with front wheel cocked 45 degrees. Bike is a large Firebird 29...49" wheelbase and 29x2.6s on it...so pretty much 79"...

    Questions for aluminum-slatted roll-up bed cover owners (Truxedo Sentry/BAK Revolver)

    Haven't heard of or seen any issues with mine or my friends, but I drive mellow with them on there...90% of higher end bikes these days are CF so I think it'd be commonly reported. Make sure tailgate pad has plenty of pad in it though. I had to buy a new one for the 2019 because the tailgate...

    Questions for aluminum-slatted roll-up bed cover owners (Truxedo Sentry/BAK Revolver)

    I'm considering a Truxedo Sentry CT or BAK Revolver X4. (Not sure if there's any other "hard" roll ups). Something that rolls up/stows out of way is critical for me....tri-fold covers aren't an option as they'd require being folded up against the window when hauling mountain bikes over a...

    Brake threshold to trigger auto start/stop...could it be adjusted?

    I can avoid triggering engine shutoff if I hold only light pressure on the brake after coming to a stop. So if I'm going to be stopped for less than 30 seconds, I do that, but if I'm going to sit at a light for a couple minutes, I let it do its thing. I find it still marginally annoying...

    Raptor broke down again!

    Not a mechanic or automotive engineer...but that kind of seems like a reasonable scenario for limp home mode. And I'm very much of the opinion that limp home mode should only be used in a worst-case scenario where no alternative is available. But that's a bunch of primary engine and user-input...

    Panoramic rattle

    Well after more "research" I think grease cures one problem and adjustment cures another. Mine is now, knock on wood, silent, by adjusting the height/angle of the fixed rear glass panel. I did not add any foam/padding as per the video, just adjusted the roof position using the 6 T25 bolts as...

    For you all who've done the auto-start-stop disable....there are 3 settings on the spreadsheet... #1 disables it, #2 disables the switch, and #3 disables the message in the instrument cluster when you hit the switch. I actually would like auto start stop in some situations...just curious, if...

    Raptor carbon fiber frame swap

    900-1000lb? I think the entirety of the frame weighs less than that.
