    Carbon fiber parts from Covid boredom

    El Snag was offering either glossy or matte in the past, so you may want to think about which you prefer when the time comes. I am going for matte.

    Carbon fiber parts from Covid boredom

    I will pay a bit more too. I am on the next round list, but that is uncertain.

    Ding on my roof - Golf ball!

    Not necessarily. I had someone back into my non-raptor truck at a Costco parking lot and dented the bumper. I chased him down in the parking lot when he tried to drive away. Got the license plate number and called the cops. After a few interesting conversations, his insurance company sent me...

    2nd Gen Ford Raptor vs Ram TRX

    Agreed. The infrastructure for the elimination, or VAST reduction of ICEs, is a few decades off, at best. Hybrids are the next natural part of the evolution of "motoring", not as much due to the technology, rather the infrastructure and the effect of crude oil on the global economy. Too many...

    Light wiring question

    I solder and heat shrink. Below is a link to a cool connection that I use some times, especially if there is any chance of water getting in. It is a shrink wrap with a solder ring in the middle and plastic rings that will melt to bond to the wire plastic on each end. This is great for the...

    I'm over this truck

    Hahahaha! I am sure that is true. I wish I was on this forum then to see the shock and disgust.

    Fender (bumper) bender. $7500 fix it or no?

    Agreed. Dealers are dirtbags. I have a question though, don't you think that a clear Carfax has some value? I mean, if there were two equal trucks at different dealerships and one had a damage history and one did not, which would you purchase? But, if the one that had the damage history was...

    Fender (bumper) bender. $7500 fix it or no?

    The only downside (other than the deductible) of having your insurance pay to fix it is that it goes on Carfax as having had damage. My 2020 recently kissed sustained damage on the rear passenger door, on the cab between the door and the bed, on the bed and slightly on the flare. There was...

    Independent Rear Suspension for Raptor?

    I figured. I was only referring to the info on their website. I was wondering what Ford would do as well.

    Good to know! I may have PC up for sale in the near future! haha!

    Pedal Commander

    Agreed, IF you are not worried about potentially voiding parts of your warranty. I would love to get a tune, as with my last truck, however with the 100,000 miles warranty it was not worth it to me. Plus, I think this truck has plenty of power, and with the PC, it adds the throttle response kick...

    Independent Rear Suspension for Raptor?

    Looks cool and would be a blast to drive, however I don't know how this company can call it a Raptor, even if they throw the work "mini" in front of it. It is basically a Can Am with modified Raptor body parts thrown on top. It is still a side-by-side.

    Questions for the owners - noob looking to get into a raptor soon

    Agree with all the above but would like to put this out there. When I was at the Raptor Assault school over summer, I asked what the best mods for performance were. He said, "This truck has more than enough ponies to get you in and out of any situation. The only mod I would do outside of...

    I puked in my mouth a little when I saw those pics. Wait, isn't 911Crazy's "raptor" is supposed to be blue? I wonder why the change of heart...

    good daily driver?

    I drive mine every day. On days where I have to drive a little more for work, my wife often says, "You should take my car!" I say, "Why the hell would I do that?" Her's gets way more miles per gallon, but mine gets WAY more smiles per gallon. Everyday I drive it, I either say out loud or in...

    Question #24: Best cleaning set up for under $1000?

    Thanks for the undercarriage attachment info! After doing a bit of looking around, if found and just ordered this thing for 10 bucks: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C4SGX71/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 I am thinking it could stand alone and have high PSI for the really muddy times, and be...

    Torchys sound system build, Morel and JL

    Wow! VERY smart to spend so much time and effort on sound treatment. Like you said, it makes a big difference even without music playing.

    GEN 2 Ram really has some pretty big complexes to deal with...

    I agree with you, Trout, that IF Toyota decided to pursue this market they have the engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and off-road pedigree to be serious contenders. I just don't see it as a priority for Toyota. I really don't know, but it seems that most of their car models are at the...

    GEN 2 Ram really has some pretty big complexes to deal with...

    I think it is cool that Dodge has a specialty truck. It is different, which will match some peoples preferences. I love my raptor. It feels light and quick. It is also perfect for off roading in baja. PERFECT. I wouldn't trade if for any other truck for that reason alone. I have been...

    Anyone do IWE TSB out of basic warranty?

    Yes, the lack of regulation sucks for consumers with dealerships. But I am sure that is not a popular belief on this forum, right 911? Haha! Lobbyists do not work for the people...

    Question #21: New exhaust system???

    Well said. I totally agree. I love the sound of my raptor. It sounds refined and matches the light, nimble, and responsive feel of the truck. I drove my 07 Lariat 4x4 5.4L with a catback and intake over the weekend. I told my wife I was going drive it to work the next day to put a few...
