    EDC Pouch, Pack, Kit

    Don't know if it's helpful for the console, but I keep a tool roll behind the back seat. These are the components of my EDC tools that solve 80% of the problems: 3/8" ratchet 3/8" sockets - 6-19mm, 9/16", and 11/16" Socket extensions - 3/8" drive, 3" and 6" Socket adapter - 3/8" to Hex 3/8"...

    Help choosing lights

    Just for an alternative opinion, due to the snow here in Salt Lake, I like running two Amber lights. I've been very happy with the Diode Dynamics SAE Fog and SAE Driving. As I recall from back when I bought them, the fogs are legal with low-beams, the driving are legal only when high-beams...

    Which model is the better off-roader?

    The aftermarket made it possible to put 37's on Gen1 and Gen2 with longer suspension travel. I have zero experience with a five-link suspension, but my guess is the aftermarket will make longer suspension travel possible in the 37 package, and will also make 37's possible on the 35 package...

    Raptoring in Sand

    A thread for advice on mods, accessories, and packing lists for days playing in the sand. Hello all, I spent yesterday playing in the sand at Little Sahara here in Utah with my kids and grandkids. I found some things I had packed (thanks to the experts on this forum) that really worked well...

    Fog Light Install Cost

    All, what would you expect to pay, or have paid, for install of fog/driving lights in the fog pockets of the Raptor? My son-in-law did the install for me. He did a great job hiding the wires, attaching to the upfitter switches, split-looming, etc. But it was the first time he's ever done it...

    Los Angeles to Utah. Recommends

    If you're doing this in the next few weeks, the snow is going to put a damper on the off-roading in Northern Utah. You'll have better luck in Southern Utah--but should still check the weather before you head out. The National Parks in Southern Utah are must see. Zion's and Bryce specifically...

    Overland

    No, we went over Engineer down into Silverton and spent the night. Then instead of following the trail, we went over Imogene into Teluride and picked up the trail on the other side. I don't know if Black Bear is more or less difficult than Imogene. As I recall, someone said the Raptor might...

    Overland

    Totally true, but my wife and I drove most of the Transamerica Trail last year, plus up over Imogene in Colorado, and never had a problem with width. I think you'll love it as an overland rig--but we weren't trying to take little trails. I have to admit we ducked off the trail every night...

    New-to-me 2019: big bounces on concrete highway

    OP, your situation is normal. I have the exact same thing, and asked the exact same question when I bought the truck. I noticed it on the freeway here in SLC. Last year I drove across country and found the exact problem on the freeway in Tulsa. It's the only other place I noticed the issue...

    Decent Hotel for Raptor Assault?

    As a Salt Lake resident, and member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), I take offense at...nothing any of you have said. It's all true! Even we think the liquor laws are embarrassing. But less than half the population of SL,UT is LDS now, so you won't have any...

    Raptor R - Will you be buying this beast.

    I'll be buying the R...if it actually gets made. But I'm still in my Gen 1 (2014 SE) and it will be 8-10 years old by the time I buy the Gen 3. Might as well go for whatever is biggest. I guess I'm a buy-big, hold-long kind of guy. Plus, I didn't realize I was a "fanboy" until reading this...

    Pre - during - post recommendations for a long drive (1400miles)...

    Few months ago I towed a U-Haul from SLC to NYC, then drove back on the Transamerica Trail from OBX to SLC. No big deal either way. This is a 2014 Raptor with 90k miles. Did 10-12 hour days while towing. Shorter than that off-road. Easy drive. Highly recommend a soft cooler or something...

    Tire Pump

    I'm afraid I don't own any air tools to try it with...but I doubt it. My guess is air tools would require a pricier portable like the ARB-dual--and even that might be stretching it. Sorry I'm not more helpful. I went with Viair due to best value (IMHO) of price/air flow/duty cycle/quality for...

    Bed Liner repair

    Bought a Builtright Bed Rack system over the holidays. The installation requires the removal/replacement of the tie-down bracket near the tailgate. My truck is a 2014 that has the factory Rhino Lining in the bed. That Rhino Lining covers the brackets/bolts mentioned. If I slice through the...

    Tire Pump

    I went Viair 400P and am very happy. I paid extra for the "automatic" on/off so I don't have to go back to the compressor to flip the switch when inflating. Could do without that, but it's convenient. Works great. Doesn't have the 100% duty cycle of the 450P, but I've been able to inflate...

    Atlas leaf springs

    Sorry mate. Never heard of Atlas on this forum...but I'm not an expert. The Raptor is my first truck.

    New Utah Raptor. 2020 Leadfoot

    GreyClaw, welcome to the forum. Unbelievable knowledge and willingness to help on here. Great group. Waveslayer, I would appreciate those GPS way points if you don't mind sharing. I live just outside Salt Lake City and would love to try that course.

    Turn Signal LED Light Bar

    Scott, I do not have them on my truck, but have researched a bit. Looks like Putco Blades or Work Blades might work for you. Also, the Baja Designs RTL (rear tail light) might be a good option. Hope that helps.

    where to buy a Krazy Beaver shovel?

    Have you used these? Look like great options but there are no reviews on Amazon. Wondering if they’re suitable for heavy duty. I have this in my truck: https://www.tygerauto.com/16-in-1-multifunctional-shovel-for-off-roading-camping-outdoor-survivalist-and-emergency.html Very good quality...

    Going To MOAB, where to start?

    If you just want a nice road on which to drive the family for some nice views, the La Sal loop is beautiful. For a little light off-roading, take the Sand Flats Road back to Moab. It takes you past the trailheads for Fins n Things and Hells Revenge. I've done Fins n Things in the Raptor...

    2020 Build in Progress

    Bridget, no judgement from me as I'm a social media moron, but why do you hide your face in pics? Is that a security thing that I need to do (if I ever use social media)? Like your build list. Like your 4Runner too.

    ELEMENT Fire Extinguisher or not ?

    OP, I bought three from Rick at Freedom Motorsports. I highly recommend both Rick and the Element extinguisher. Regarding your concern about UL certification, it is not UL certified, but it is TUV certified. Having spent quite a bit of time in Germany, i'm happy with the TUV certification...

    EDC Tools/Sockets

    Yeah, the Craftsman story is a sad one. I believe they're owned by Lowe's now. The quality is not bad, but if you're going to Lowe's, I think Kobalt is probably better value for money. Based on testing by Project Farm (highly recommended YouTube channel), I started buying some Tekton tools...
