    Mud on inside of rims, out of balance

    Just like your dirty dishes....get them wet and let them soak. Then hose/pressure wash it off.

    More Deaver questions

    I have Eibachs in the front and the +3 HDs and wish I had gotten the +4's instead. I usually have around 400 lbs in the bed and it sits just shy of level (nose up). When I tow or add more weight to the bed it sags more than I would like. The ride improvement over stock by replacing all 4...

    37 VS. 35 GEN. 3 RAPTOR

    Comes down to personal preference. I already know I'll be getting the 37 package when it's time to upgrade and I'll patiently drive my Gen 2 until the order arrives.

    Ready to Give-UP :(

    I agree about the pricing being a wash except I won't get my value back on suspension upgrades and would need to turn around and do it again on the Gen 3. So for me it would be a loss. And that's with the assumption aftermarket parts were even available, which they aren't.

    Suspension sagging

    My Gen 2 sagged with my 400 lbs loadout in the rear until I replaced the springs. I assume the Gen 3 will be no different. Exactly why I'm not jumping on the Gen 3 bandwagon yet. I'm waiting to let the bugs get sorted, new aftermarket products developed, mid-generational changes implemented...

    Ready to Give-UP :(

    I've decided to just wait on the 3rd or 4th year of production. Waiting for the world supply chain to right itself and for mid-generational updates. If history repeats itself, you should be able to negotiate below MSRP. So I guess it depends on how much you "need" it.

    In need of the front lower shock clip

    I also got mine from SDHQ. Remember you will need 2 clips per shock.

    Running fogs at night?

    I run my SAE amber fogs anytime it's dark even though by state law I'm only supposed to use them in inclement weather. Never had an issue.

    Fog Lights

    I love my Baja Designs amber SAE fog lights, I use them anytime I'm driving in the dark. The difference is subtle....really just warms up the feel of the lighting and cuts through rain and fog a bit better. It's not going to dramatically make everything brighter given that they are SAE and not...

    Uncovered Raptor

    Mine lives outside right now and it doesn't bother me. We are getting ready to build a new house, so I put 8 ft garage doors in the spec. So once done, it'll be stored inside.

    2017 rear end dance

    I found a local shop in my area and had them rebuild them. If the guy is good, he can get them done in one day. Just make sure they have the correct OEM refilling tool or have them install Schrader valves.

    2017 rear end dance

    My shocks were toast by 55k miles with light off-roading. Also recommend the ride quality improvement with Eibachs and Deavers.

    Color Matched Or Not Color Matched? (pics included)

    Personally I hate the color matching, I like some contrast and being able to tie in other accessories. The good thing for you is that my opinion doesn't matter. Do what is going to make you grin the most.

    Will be waiting for Baja Designs replacement kit.

    Lecture on Proper Ordering *Expert Opinions Contained Within*

    You could alway tape a baby rattle to the tailgate. Will sound about the same as a tailgate step.

    RSI SmartCap

    Pretty certain it was near the air filter. I don't remember them getting into the cab.

    Opinions on taking your Gen 2 to instant valvoline oil change

    I prefer the dealership so there is no doubt in case of warranty issues. Worth the extra 20 minutes of driving and about the same wait for the work. Plus I can easily add things like cabin air filters, engine filters and wiper blades. If you want to pay them to rotate and balance it can also...

    GEN 2 Locking Fuel Plug

    Wouldn't have helped me, the guy trying to steal my gas just cut the fuel filler hose above the gas tank. Cost me $600 to repair. The stock setup is enough to deter opportunists, anyone who really wants it will figure out a way. Not really worried about someone putting sugar in the...

    Anyone getting toppers(truck caps) for their G3?

    The RSI SmartCap EVO Sport has windows in both gull wing doors on the sides.

    Anyone getting toppers(truck caps) for their G3?

    I see a lot of Jeep Gladiators and Toyota Tacomas with them in my area. Most look like they leave them on full time.

    Anyone getting toppers(truck caps) for their G3?

    The weight of the canopy and any gear will make the Raptor sag for sure. I figure I've got about 400 lbs in the back and it definitely sags a leveled truck. I had just purchased Deaver +3HD leaf springs for the rear, but never got them installed before I decided to get an F150 Tremor instead.

    Anyone getting toppers(truck caps) for their G3?

    I like that it's a bit different from what you see everyday, it's got that utilitarian look about it. It's been a solid cap for me, I love the positive air pressure vent in dusty areas, but you have to keep a decent speed up or dust can still seep in around the tailgate. Still way less dust...

    Anyone getting toppers(truck caps) for their G3?

    I am moving my RSI SmartCap EVO Sport from my Gen 2 Raptor to my new F150 Tremor when it comes in. If I were getting the Gen 3 Raptor, I would do the same thing. I tried a tonneau cover for about a year and just kept hitting the ceiling on space. I think all trucks look better without a...
