I’ve been looking for a fabricator for over a year now and every one I’ve talked to isn’t accepting jobs for months. I was planning on working with a gentleman from Arizona but that didn’t pan out.
So, does anyone know of a fabricator, or better yet, a way I can mount my gun and ammo cases...
I ordered mine from off-road alliance to replace what I had on my truck before. Got the kitchen, table, and side bins. My heavy tent is mounted using the Leitner bars off my old rack.
I love this thing. Really well made, keeps a lot of dust and mud out. The design on the doors is well thought...
My understanding of this fix is that the CEL just won’t turn on so you could be having it.
So the truck is trying to tell you there’s a problem and the solution you had was to ignore that problem.
Your tuner knows your truck better than anyone here so I’m knocking your solution. My point is to...
After seven months I only need to wait until Monday! I won’t get any desert time with it before I head back to work so I’ll have to make do with NorCal forests. Anyone know of secluded beach access along the California coast I won’t get shot going to?
It’s not a Leitner rack. I can’t tell for sure but the design seems more akin to RCI bed racks. It’s missing the support rods that the Leitner racks have and it sits below the cab line.
Raptor assault runs 32/28 front/rear on their trucks. There was talk the engineers who designed the truck run down to 26 on their personal vehicles.
If you’re bombing, I wouldn’t go lower than that. I have aftermarket wheels so I don’t know anything lower than that on stock wheels.
I will say...
I have discovered that I’m very good at keeping the steering wheel completely still on long drives which will also set it off. If I wiggle it a little bit, the warning will go away. It’s annoying and I haven’t found any way to turn it off.
This is something we can’t answer. It’s really personal preference. The raptor is comfortable and great for traveling between point A and point B and is definitely capable. But it also depends on what points you’re going to. Are you going to way out back on 4x4 trails that require what the...
I’m currently living in my raptor. I work 12 hours away from where I have my mailing address and I live alone. If I had a wife and dogs, I would absolutely not do it in a raptor or RTT.
Alone, the raptor is great but it does have its drawbacks in comparison to a van. And you’ll be living in...
I heard putting it in a plastic bag is a method that lots of people are using. If you include a spark in the bed, you can claim that you were trying not to burn the truck down when you’re driving fast enough to put the fire out.
Gearhead Tuning iirc. Unless 5 Star and Gearhead are the same. They had my tune to me next business day. @OffroadAlliance.com can answer, though. His customer service is the best I’ve come across.
I have had no issues and am very happy with my tune from Offroad Alliance. Still uses the octane sensor in the truck so I don’t need extra maps. SCT tuner.
I don’t know anything about the Gen 1’s other than a Ford engineer told me about heat issues once.
What I personally do is to not modify the stock wiring harness at all. Everything I’ve added can be taken off without affecting the wiring.
Engine I try not to touch too much. The modifications I...
I like my methods.
I’ve made some changes to my setup that I haven’t posted yet. My drawers are gone and I got Built Right panels instead.
The Leitner rack is pretty well designed for what you’re wanting. Only problem is that it’s certainly not weather resistant. But it’s certainly the easiest...
Tent was $4100 after install, rack was probably about $2500-$3000 after all the custom work I’ve done. The entire front end lighting and other modifications ran about $14,000 with help from Offroad Alliance. Suspension (Not done yet) is about $14,000 after install.
My fridge/kitchen/chase...
If you’re using them on dirt roads, don’t worry about. I have my full light setup running at night and during the day when I’m with others. It’s just part of being off road. As long as you turn them off when you see another vehicle, no one should give you grief over it.
Those lights will blind someone coming at you at night. The only ones I can tolerate looking at are the SAE rated ones with the cutoffs. I generally won’t flash my lights, though.
Really, with the bezels in there it’s hard to aim them far enough down and still have them be useful.
Turn them on...
Yeah I included the VIN. I sat on the live chat long enough for them to kick me off automatically, too. I’ll just start sending an email every hour. Running into their 30 day return period time.
Ordered my side view mirror from Tasca, it was the wrong one. I’ve been emailing for two weeks now. Sometimes twice a day. Their phone says they don’t have anyone answering. Live chat no one answers. Does anyone know of a way to get a hold of them?
Finally have a little time to respond. I live out of my truck and have camped extensively in all types of weather. Hot, snow, rain, etc. I am currently on my second RTT and will be sticking with this one for awhile.
First, I have had two tents over the roofline with my current tent being a 12...
