Just a quick note from one who lives in SLC. The restaurants are all open but operating as take-out only. The common delivery services (like Door Dash) are operating. I can't verify whether the hotels are open, but I believe they are. Worth a call. I've never done the RA course as I bought...

Thank you! Really appreciate your willingness to share the wisdom!

Zombiekiller, read your entire build thread. Thank you for taking the time to document all that. I learned a ton. Based on your advice to the OP re: ICON wheels and 37's, I think that's the way i'll go. I have a stock suspension and stock body 2014 SCREW on low-perch with the tail lowered an...

Ordered three Elements from Rick today. I have to put in a plug for him and Freedom Motorsports. This is the first thing I've purchased from them and so far, the customer service has been phenomenal. Rick was responding to my emails at 11:30 pm his time last night (Friday night). Excellent...

And we have a winner. JMHO but I love that Element to which you provided a link Rick. Seems to combine the best of all three (Rick, John, Ben) responses. I'll be putting them throughout the truck. Thank you all.

What fire extinguishers do you guys carry? Different for cab, engine bay, and bed? I swear I searched for this topic. No results. I'm intrigued by Halotron for the lack of mess, but don't love the idea of one in the cab given that they aren't rated for plastics. Seems like a lot of plastic...

My gosh I'm glad you said that. The Raptor is the first truck I've ever owned. There seem to be a lot of posts about lifting and leveling and I could not figure out why. Thought I was missing something obvious and was embarrassed to ask. I thought it would be generally desirable to keep the...

WOW!! Now that's a truck! I read how much money they spent on that and had a heart attack. Seeing that made me realize how far off I was in even referring to a trophy truck. Wow!

jondle, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond with so much detail. I was feeling pretty stupid about the whole thing. I learned a ton from your post. You can probably tell I'm a novice off-roader. I had no idea my tonneau cover wouldn't survive off-road. I thought...

Yeah, it's probably a dumb idea. As a kid in high school in the 80's, I loved the "sleeper" cars that looked like crap but blew others away at the stoplight when they got challenged. Now that I'm old, and supposed to be "mature," I know no one is going to challenge a truck at a stoplight. I...

I have this odd desire to create a "sleeper" or "stealth" truck (to the degree that's possible given it's a Raptor) out of my 2014 (while I wait for Gen 3). Something that you guys would recognize for being extremely capable off-road (think trophy truck, not rock crawler), but the average...

Thank you.

Where does one buy those?

So my wife and I are being driven around a relatively rural part of northern Cambodia (because Angkor Wat was on our bucket list) yesterday when a white Gen 2 Raptor went flying by in the opposite direction. Don't know why, but after seeing a ton of Toyota's and tuk tuks, the Rap really...

Never driven with amber fog lights before. If they're on when it's not snowing/raining, do they not light up the area well? Or do they look weird? I live where it snows (SLC) and thought I'd use SAE ambers for both snow and clear. Bad idea?

All, I can't thank you enough for your responses and pictures. Thank you! I read this forum every day and this is why. Your trucks rock hard. TXRaptor, just read your whole build thread. Very cool. CigarPundit, I still have the Gen 1 (2014) because I'm old school and like the sound of a V8...

Hey, that's perfect! Thank you Big Blue!

Thank you. Hadn't seen the kibbetech. A bit much for me but appreciate the thought. In my head I can picture taking out one horizontal row in the bottom section of the grill and having it look good. But I am not very creative so it would probably be a "random hole." I was just checking to...

After having read the lighting tests that seem to show about a 50% reduction in output when a lightbar is placed behind a grill, I couldn't help but wonder why people don't dremel out a row or two of the Raptor grill. May be a stupid question as I am not all that mechanically adept, but the...

Hi All, New to the forum and new to Raptor ownership but I have searched and read a lot of posts on raising the front, lowering the rear, Deaver's, adjustable bump stops, etc. I haven't been able to find answers to a couple questions: 1. I know I'm in the distinct minority, but I like the...

I actually have been out driving the truck. I'm embarrassed to say this, but this is the first truck I've owned and the first time I've done any offroading. I'm loving it! We had a big snow storm come through Utah on Christmas. My sons and I loaded up several trucks and went and played. The...

All, Just a quick note to thank all you long-time members that have taken the time to post so much information. After reading a bunch of info on this site, I took the plunge and bought a used 2014 SuperCrew Raptor. I've only had it a few days but already love it. Merry Christmas! Ty
