    Feeling sick to my stomach

    Good to hear my new Ford suffers from the same blend door fun that plagued my 2004 GMC with auto climate. Same happy wonderful engineering flaw: these break a lot, let's make them non-removable without taking apart the entire fracking dash. Fortunately on my GMC it was always the more...

    stock BFGs suck this year

    Sure there wasn't any ice underneath? Back when I lived in Portland, II was driving to the airport one morning in my old truck with BFG A/T's with 3" of snow on the ground. Same experience, couldn't believe how little traction there was. On the way I stopped at a video store to drop off a...

    Looks very imperial. :D

    Silverado better than a Raptor?

    Oh come on, it's a good ad.

    GPS Units

    Personally won't buy a Garmin anything if there's any alternative after the piece-of-shit Zumo 660 GPS I bought for my bike. As an example, one of its features was supposed to be a built-in SDcard-based stereo-bluetooth MP3 player. They decided to cheap out on their bluetooth chipset though...

    Adopted a new Raptor in need of much love...

    Looks awesome, just saw one at the dealer yesterday and would be very tempted to go Red if buying again. Send the DDM HIDs back though, there's no way to put Xenon bulbs in halogen reflector headlights and not blind the hell out of everyone (while not gaining any noticeable benefit other than...

    Tsb 11-7-20 ?

    Paying $120 to get this done. Fucking pissed. Will be contacting Ford customer service, dealer can't do it under warranty without specific codes in TSB having been thrown/recorded. Dealer (Theodore Robins) appears innocent given that they can't bill Ford.

    Line-X gripe

    I always request no badge when I have a Line-X done, never had a problem. Putting a window sticker on is pretty darn insane though.

    40k Mile Suspension Checkup: binding, a blown shock, and a bent frame

    I'm going to have to *strongly* disagree with this. You'd see a ton of F-150s failing if this were the case. This problem is essentially Raptor-specific because only Raptor owners would even consider subjecting their trucks to the challenges that can bend their frames. From 1999 to 2010 I...

    Humvee21 gets his Raptor!

    AFAIK that's used if you remove the tailgate to seal off the camera connection.

    Where is the Engine?

    Found it: 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Full Test and Video Weight distribution = 56/44 for supercab. That is insanely good for a 4WD pickup truck IMO, again my GMC was 64/36.

    Where is the Engine?

    You guys do actually understand what he's asking, right? I do recall the weight distribution being pretty good (for a pickup)....it was less than 60% front I think. My old Sierra was 64/36, but that was an ext cab 6.5' bed.

    Sync Voice Command failed temporarily (two beeps, then nothing)

    The voice-command button stopped working for a half-hour drive today. When pressed, it would beep twice, then provide no response. Tried killing motor, pulling key out, opening door at traffic light (to fully reset electronics)...no luck. Tried disconnect/reconnect of my SSD plugged into...

    Question/Favor of SCREW owners..

    All of them, an inflatable giraffe, three gallons of milk, and a dozen donuts. I can't take a reliable guess, but they're frickin huge. I can cross my legs sitting behind the driver's seat with it in my desired position (6' 2"). Just moved and couldn't believe the amount of crap that fit back...

    ADD Venom Bumper + Rigid 20" LED Install = Way too many pics!

    That looks great, of all the bumpers here this one has me the most tempted, (albeit not anytime immediate). I wonder if it'd look as good with a pair of D2s on either side of a license plate in the center? My city and neighboring areas commonly run "front plate enforcement crackdowns".

    Lots of blue interior pics

    Haven't seen one in person, but I'd be inclined toward it if I were ordering again. Wonder how much the two centerstack/console pieces and door panels (assuming its just the blue bit) would cost to replace? I've never much cared for the 2011 silver/gray hashed bits (don't hate em, but like...

    Another Blue 2012

    Congrats, love the blue! You didn't previously belong to GMFS with a similar user name, did you?

    Raptor crossing a river in Puerto Rico

    Not to further derail this thread, but... Portal axled super duty. Frickin awesome. I don't even think that thing is "lifted", i.e, axle-to-frame is stockish.

    RPG experience

    Not to be an amateur psychologist, but be aware that you're fulfilling a need here. If you stop doing it (by selling the truck or simply by force) you're still going to have that need. There is fun to be had in researching stuff, installing it, and getting it right...and often actually having...

    Welcome! Section 179 isn't going away in 2012 is it?

    You all should be ashamed...

    I also like the fact that they show a 2012 and use 2011's lower mileage numbers. And I'll have you know I purchased my Raptor *only* to clean these nasty hydrocarbons out of the air: Edmunds: Leaf blower pollutes more than Ford Raptor

    Stewarts Raceworks Raptor Bumper!

    Love the job they did cutting the bed, looks like they put a nice corner on it at the edge.

    First Look: Chevrolet Colorado Rally Concept

    Manufacturers love to do this...dream up a "brand identity" and then deploy it across the board. This has worked well for the Germans and poorly for the Americans and Japanese.

    Do the "Street Lock" rings on wheels *do* anything?

    I'm just curious if these "street lock" a.k.a. fake beadlock wheel rings actually serve a purpose? Are they intended to extend farther over the wheel (after the tire is mounted) to provide some level of protection from de-beading? Or are they purely for show given that proper beadlocks tend to...
