    Is this a Magnetic Raptor?

    as always, it's so photoshopped up, it's hard to tell what true color it is. heck it could be race red with how doctored up they make some of the colors on the website lol I am looking forward to seeing magnetic on a Raptor, but won't get a true feeling for it till there's one in person or...

    JLT oil separator

    I've got a JLT on the raptor & my wife's sport. The Raptor one collects a ton. The one on the sport collects much slower. Not sure if it just doesn't see as much vapors, or if the design doesn't work as well on the sport.

    dual color lightbar

    I picked up the 30" version of the dual color light bar from the ebay link. Installed it a couple days ago. It works great. It's brighter than my last ebay 30" bar, but not as bright/focused as my 40" TMX Blackhawk bar (as expected). The amber is great, really throws good amber light, not just a...

    Anyone take pics from the Philly show?

    There's no such thing as "uncomfortably close" to the bump stops if you're driving on the street, even if you hit some bumps, and even if you *gasp* hit the bump stops lol. They're there to hit, it won't bend anything or hurt anything, even if you're loaded up so much that it's literally riding...

    Or....from a business/aftermarket perspective, having a "FREE" perch mod that was extremely popular, was lost business for Ford, unless it was done at a dealer and some labor was earned. Making it non-adjustable stock unlike the gen 1's, but knowing gen 1 guys loved to lift the front end, they...

    Anyone take pics from the Philly show?

    I agree I do like the contrast of the vents & flares and stuff vs a full color matched truck, but I hate the raw black plastic that fades and turns white from some waxes. A solid color would be much nicer, even if a contrasting color. The flares are a solid color and hold up great to fading or...

    need towing expertise

    Towing at or within the factory tow rating seems crazy? Nope, not worried at all. Guys will drive these things well BEYOND the factory intentions and not worry, there's no reason to worry towing them for what they're rated at, or even a little above. The frames aren't wet noodles that just bend...

    dual color lightbar

    thanks for that info! I'm definitely going to buy one then, and move my current ebay 30" to my open trailer to use for light when loading at night. I could have used this one last night, trying to leave the track, 8 lanes wide, and 7 of the 8 were packed with cars trying to get in. About 1/2 way...

    dual color lightbar

    I've wondered since day 1 why more companies haven't offered a dual color one. Or heck aside from the rigid, I've never even seen another company offer an amber LED bar that was actual amber LEDs and not clear with an amber cover. Quick question, since it has the wireless remote to change...

    Anyone take pics from the Philly show?

    Gimme a break, so does painted doors, painted fenders, painted hood lol. Do you want the whole truck body in shitty looking plastic? The door handles won't get any more damage than the doors, if you're that close to stuff that's going to damage the door handles, you've got other shit getting...

    Anyone take pics from the Philly show?

    More blue = cool, stands out more. More stickers & logos = little too busy. I like the simple clean look of the gen 1 shocks with just fox sticker on the body, and SVT engraved in the cup It almost looks like the sides of the bumpers under the headlights would unbolt, may look cool...

    Anyone take pics from the Philly show?

    Tailpipes - they are HUGE in person! Pics are very deceiving, but look at the 2-1/2" receiver hitch for comparison. The tailpipes have got to be at least 4" diameter, if not 4.5". They look really good Fender flares look like they're slightly lower profile than ours. Fender bulges...

    Anyone take pics from the Philly show?

    okay finally doing it. Here's my pics from the philly show as well. Tried to get some up close detail pics of some things that I never noticed in the pics until I saw it up close and personal. Headlights - AWESOME Rims - Look WAY better in person than the pics. Hated the rims in pics...

    need towing expertise

    technically you shouldn't, realistically you can. Now much more than that, it's not advised, but towing around that amount, or a little over, the truck does just fine. About 15% or so of my miles on my raptor are towing (love the separate trip meters for trailers!). I usually tow around 7,500...

    50k tune-up

    wow those prices are nuts! Even if they rake you for labor with having some aftermarket parts to work around, the prices for parts seem like they're well above even list price. And disposal fees? On the flip side, good to hear the truck feels like it's running better. I'm at 41k now, I know the...

    JLT oil separator

    mine is still collecting great. I never have to add though. In reality you're draining maybe an ounce each time, the can may look half full but that's not a ton of oil in it. 1 quart is 32 ounces, so that'd be a LOT of FULL catch cans between each oil change to manage to capture a quart worth. I...

    Will 2018's have a V-8 ?

    I think you'll eventually see the return of a V8 in it, but not in '17, and possibly not even '18. I think you'll see the new GT500 out first, and possibly a gen 3 L, and maybe they'll borrow that powertrain for the latter half of the 2nd gen raptor. Then it's not shooting themselves in the foot...

    "atrocious factory things"....yeah what terrible springs that can tow 8,000 lbs in the screw variant, ride extremely comfortably on the street, and have nearly a foot of travel for offroad. Such terrible springs lol. Staggering the shocks to reduce axle wrap, while not sacrificing performance in...

    Will 2018's have a V-8 ?

    gimme a break the v6 will already have more power than the outgoing 6.2, which, years ago many of the 5.4 leg humpers were saying the extra power of the 6.2 was unnecessary....now we're whining the 6 may be underpowered? lol back to the OP, horsepower kings is a joke. Before that article, they...

    Best in the Desert 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck

    the level of hating is pretty pathetic lol. Not because of legitimate reasons, but petty ones. Ford was the only one that entered, so by default it's 1 of 1. Since no other manufacture entered, would you guys be happier if they told Ford they weren't allowed to race if they're the only one in...
