    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Both the EvoX 2.0 and D2S 4.0 projectors are rated to handle a bulb powered by a 50w ballast. Lumens aren't everything. Adding 40% lumens to the stock headlights doesnt do anything to change the pattern of light distribution, which I argue is very poor with the stock headlights. For that...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    bulbs don't get you too far. Swap the OEM projector with something better and then bump up to 50w ballasts. I am running EvoX 2.0 projectors with stock ballasts and they are a nice upgrade from stock but I miss the brightness of the 50w ballasts. Also, I would recommend looking into using...

    Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

    Hey Bailey, any word on if the XL80 will get the laser treatment, or maybe when? I like my XL80s but the Onx6 20" is just as bright, I'd like to use my XL80's to light further out then they do now.

    VHF Antennas, NGP 1/2 wave and 1/4 wave

    Thanks dude, that is helpful. The 38" comet you use is 1/2 wave, and the 18" is 1/4 wave. What I can't tell is if the 1/4wave is a NGP antenna. It says this in the specs: "Magnet Mount Compatible: Yes ", so maybe that means its a NGP antenna? I'm not sure.

    VHF Antennas, NGP 1/2 wave and 1/4 wave

    What 1/4 wave antenna are you using? For a mag mount it is probably NGP, and I can't find one...?

    VHF Antennas, NGP 1/2 wave and 1/4 wave

    Nice looking setup! What antenna are you using? I can't find a 1/4 wave no ground plane anywhere. Did you use the 3rd brake light mount too?

    VHF Antennas, NGP 1/2 wave and 1/4 wave

    I'm a new HAM and I need help finding an antenna. Is there such a thing as a 1/4 wave no-ground-plane antenna for ~151Mhz? I'll be primarily transmitting around 151Mhz and I want to use this antenna mount from bulletproofdiesel.com: Third Brake Light Antenna Mount for Raptor Due to...

    OEM remote start, turns off when I close the door

    You are the man! 100% works ever since I bent that hood switch bracket up to make better contact with the hood when its closed. Great suggestion, thank you!

    OEM remote start, turns off when I close the door

    That might be it. I installed some XL80's and had the hood open again the other day and the thing won't remote start at all since, it just beeps and flashes. So I bent the bracket on the hood switch up a bit, that should help it make solid contact when the hood is closed. So far, the...

    The life of my 2013 Black SuperCab

    I was getting condensation in my chase lights behind the amber covers, so I just ended up swapping the lenses for ambers and they're crystal clear 24/7 now Also have been having trouble with my remote start. Intermittently isn't starting, just beeps once and flashes the lights at me...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Looks great SZDZMTR. Do you get any condensation in those yellow covers on the XL80s? I think I might go that route but always had a lot of moisture inside when I used them on my squadron sport chase lights.

    The life of my 2013 Black SuperCab

    Went to SnoBall, had a BLAST Then decided I needed more light, because, well, who doesn't? Can't say I'm too thrilled with the output of the XL80's, I was thinking they would be way brighter. The 20" Onx6 (not the high power version) seems to light up the night almost better than the...

    OEM remote start, turns off when I close the door

    Works more often, but still had the truck shut off on me again as soon as I sat in the drivers seat. Also, the bigger issue is that the truck doesn't remote start at all probably half the time. It flashes the parking lights twice with one beep of the horn. I replaced my battery in the...

    The 2018 SnoBall Pic and Vids

    Yep the guys with KO2's did great. I run a set of Duratracs and those tires are amazeballs in the snow. I pulled out of deep stuff that I thought for sure I wasn't getting out of. And on the hardpack/ice they grip as good as any snow tire I've ever ran on my other cars. I'm very impressed.

    The 2018 SnoBall Pic and Vids

    Vids are up! Side note: I hate GoPro Studio, I burned an entire day wrestling with that peice of shite, kept crashing and almost lost all my work. Finally got output. Its not fancy, but i'll have to do. Day 1: https://youtu.be/ULx7qnwkei0 Day 2: https://youtu.be/lc2KwdEAJ0I Day 3...

    Absolutely! It's begging for it. Did you have to trim anything for the 37s?

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Hey how much did that tire rack cost you, if you don't mind me asking? Looks exactly like what I'd like to have. They are out of New Jersey? You'll have to show it to me at snoball

    Good deal, I would have taken these a couple months ago. Love the look of the Fuel wheels.

    OEM remote start, turns off when I close the door

    I'm having much more consistent luck if I am pressing the unlock button on the key fob TWICE before I try to enter the truck. So far I think its worked correctly 100% of the time if I press that unlock button twice and make sure all doors are unlocked before I try to open the door and enter the...

    OEM remote start, turns off when I close the door

    I've found a few videos for fixing the problem on the regular F150's but its a different remote start, and there isn't a "config" button to be found under the drivers dash. its very annoying, like why start it if its just going to shut off and have to be restarted again as soon as I get in...

    OEM remote start, turns off when I close the door

    Anyone else have this happen? I remote start the truck. Press unlock button and open drivers door, as soon as I close the door the truck shuts off. I have to start it up again manually. I've also had it happen as soon as my butt hits the seat, before I close the door. Literally, sit in...

    Raptor Community - Stock 2.5 shock rebuild exchange program.

    I too had a fantastic experience with these guys. I was in the exchange program and due to its popularity it took a little longer, almost 8 weeks for me, but it was a very smooth process with really great communication from these guys. They were patient with my questions and even pivoted last...
