Sounds like you are being an adult. Here is my advice.
1) Make sure the dealer offer is market value. I doubt the dealer is offering what you can get selling yourself. The dealer will be looking to make $5-8K in reselling it.
2) Get a copy of Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. His advice...
But with a D or E range tire you get the benefit of a rougher and harsher ride :)
I prefer the C range as it gives me the load rating needed and the best ride
Could be that the bed bolts need to be loosened and the bed alignment adjusted or it could be a bent frame. If you search here under bent frame you will find pics of what a bent frame looks like.
I had place #1 in line with my dealer at $500 over invoice and decided to keep my 2013. I have 26,800 miles on her and there is nothing I'd change. Decided to replace the defective Roll-X cover and maybe add a front bumper. Added up the mods I made to the 2013 and knew I'd do the same to the...
Not bad, I did it the 4th day. I drilled a hole in each corner and use a cut off wheel in an air grinder. I used 3 layers of tape to protect the rest of the bumper. Wife and neighbor thought I was nuts cutting a 4 day old truck.
I'm like the OP. I am empty nest, just my wife and I and a two 50lb dogs. I choose a SCAB in 2013 with no regrets. It's way easier to park in day to day driving too. The one downside for me is that in the gen 1 SCAB the floor was not flat but in Gen 2 it is. I say SCAB for your situation...
We've used 3M on the front of most of our vehicles for the past 10 years or so. I have it on my Raptor. Some jerk hit my bumper and flare in a parking lot (the left without informing me) and the film protected the paint on the fender and bumper but I did not have it on the flares and the flare...
One other point, I can park my SCAB in a 1988 built suburban home. It the front tires touch the step up at the front of the garage and I have 2" to close the garage door. If I didn't have the step up (standard in AZ garages near as I can tell) you might be able to fit a SCREW in the garage. I...
I choose a 2013 SCAB as I'm empty nest and I will never ride in the back. It works with a couple adults in the back for a couple of hours but if you have the front seats all the way back there isn't much leg room. Also, with a SCAB you can maneuver around in parking lots easily. With the...
I put new 315/70 R17 KO2s on my 2013 SCAB today. At 25K miles the stock KOs still had 30% tread life but they were pretty chunked up and they had become really noisy. I debated with myself over the decision to go with 37s or not and in the end I decided to stay with the 35s. In the end I...
New shoes. I debated for months on size, ended up staying stock because I can still fit into all the parking garages and the airport garage. My stock BFGs still had like 30% of the tread left but they had become really noisy. I chose the BFG KO2s. Love them. Super quiet on the road and they...
I put the kit in today. A couple of tips.
1) Someone here recommended removing the mounting bracket. It makes it much easier to rotate the fuse block to see the wires underneath. Took maybe two minutes to remove and it was a lot easier.
2) I cut the tape holding the large loom to either...
I was dropping a package off at Fedex last night and a guy in a Red SCREW was halfway out of a parking spot. Truck started and died after 5 feet. Turned over but no start. I told him it was likely the fuel pump fuse and sure enough it was burnt to a crisp.
So I went to the local dealer...
pulling the inner door panel is easy, plenty of you tube videos. I'd pull the door panel and cut piece of wood just the right length to wedge between the outer door skin and the inner brace. Not for permanent, but to see if bracing the outer skin helps. You can also check to make sure the...
I am considering upgrading to the BFG KO2 37s. I've read everything I can find on the forum. One of the things that is stated a lot is that you need to be on mid perch. This doesn't make sense. The bump stops for the front don't change from bottom to mid to top perch. So if you stuff the...
When I bought my Raptor in 2013 I knew I wanted to add a frame brace and I choose the RPG with a Fox shock. Of course I took the truck off road right away and I realized quickly that the rear suspension bottomed pretty easily. When I called RPG to order the frame brace they convinced me to...
Are you talking about a noise through the speakers, or the bar itself making a noise? I do not have an LED light bar but the LED driver circuit should not be making a loud noise.
