    Carbon fiber parts from Covid boredom

    The choppers don't really create much of a mess. The trucks, however... If you ever plan a trip, let me know. I can hook you up with a place to stay, food, and beer. The place is meant to be shared. I am in tight with some locals who bring me fish, octopus, and lobster that they snag from the...

    Hello

    I am sorry to hear that. I hope things work out for him. (and he fixes the bumper on his prius)

    This video of the Baja 1000 is not nearly as fast, but I'm sharing it because it is cool to see a team with two choppers and how they work together. Sorry about the thumb at the beginning... This is also not the most exciting section of the course.

    KIDOR Lemon Law Denied and Suspension Warranty Cancelled

    Haha! I love it that FordTechOne got a little bug up his you-know-what on this! It was the reason I kept reading on to see what else he would blast. FTO knows his stuff.

    TRX engine is already on its way out?

    Again, all we need to do is look at the evolution of Formula 1. In the 80's the turbo V6 was used by a few teams, over the V8. The turbo V6 greatly out performed the V8 with the technology advancements. Now ALL F1 teams use a turbo charged 1.6L V6. Racing technology always paves the performance...

    Dealership w/o markups, allocation & deposit

    Not rare. I looked for a few months at several Southern California dealerships and saw way more at MSRP than those with dealer markups. In late April I got my 2020 for $71,000. It had an MSRP of $74,185 with an invoice of $69,184.49. MSRP is common in CA for specialty vehicles. Below MSRP is...

    The drive-mode button is a huge design fail.

    Ha! That would be fun to see.

    The drive-mode button is a huge design fail.

    A bit off topic, but still regarding driving modes, I am slightly bugged that Dodge is using the term "baja mode". WTF??? I guess "high speed off-road mode" is asking a bit much of them.

    RAM TRX vs. Raptor

    I watched a video that someone posted on FRF (I think) a few weeks back of a Gen 1 on an off road course. It sounded AWESOME. I instantly thought, "Should I start considering the Raptor-R down the road?" Then I hopped in my Gen 2 and put it through some off-road paces. I still think that the...

    Light Wiring Advice

    Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C3NBTJ9/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 I have these and have been really happy. I take it a bit further and heat shrink over it. Not necessary, but I like the extra support and it looks clean.

    New Member Checking In from NorCal - Looking at Lighting Mods

    Very timely question. I just ordered and received a GREAT set-up from 4x4truckLEDs.com (see link). https://www.4x4truckleds.com/2017-ford-raptor-triple-fog-light-kit-w-baja-designs-lights-pro/ This is a SICK set-up. I went with all BD Squadron Pros: Squadron Pro Driving/Combo Squadron Pro...

    GEN 2 Disabling key out of truck warning

    I found this forscan doc somewhere online, but can't find it now to give proper credit. I am a mac user but bought a cheap laptop for $319 from Bestbuy and a Forscan programming cable from Amazon for about $30. Now the 6 and 8 year old use the laptop and I don't worry about them messing around...

    Raptor R - Will you be buying this beast.

    NO for this reason: I love V8s and have had one in a Ford for well over a quarter century. HOWEVER, for me, I would not purchase a Raptor-R because I would prefer to have a hybrid EB 3.5 TT. The EB with the addition of the hybrid electric motor should increase HP significantly with the same...

    Skid Plate Sprayed Rhino/LineX

    Seriously looks great! My concern is what it would look like after hitting a rock or scraping when off roading. Is it easy to "patch" so the shiny metal doesn't show with the darker coating? The wheel well are awesome and I am going to look into that for sure.

    Baja Raptor Run

    Anyone on the forum is welcome. Like I say to my friends, this place is meant to be shared. Only two rules: 1. No politics 2. No talking about how much you hate California. I was born and raised in San Diego. It's like how an abused child still has love for his parents and doesn't like it...

    Baja Raptor Run

    Zombie, here is a video of the place the day we took ownership a few years back I didn't go into one of the bedrooms, but wanted to show you what the guest room looks like. I know... I should have filmed it landscape... And that was my old truck that I kept beating which led to the raptor.

    Baja Raptor Run

    Ha! Yes, I am very close to Coyote Cal's. It is 3 or 4 miles north of me, just north of Erendira. You are welcome anytime! You won't even have to camp. I have a "guest house" which is one large room with a bathroom. Just hit me up when you are around.

    Baja Raptor Run

    Please listen to the advice of ZombieKiller! I have grown-up going to baja to surf, ride my MX on course runs, and now have a house two miles south of Erendira, a place called Malibu Sur. The pre-run prep is CRITICAL and needs to be done by someone who knows the environment and people. It is no...

    Snag, you should raise it some, for sure. This has to take a lot of time and coordination. Plus, your connections have value. I am fine paying more (not Anderson prices, though, LOL!).

    Forbes Article: The 10 Best Ford Raptor Upgrades To Improve Performance And Add Functionality

    Good job, Max. Those T-AK1 wheels are badass. I hadn't seen those before, but they make me consider changing out my stock wheels.

    Me too! Thanks, Snag! This is very cool of you.
