    Stock BFG tires in the snow...

    Yeah, I couldn't find many other options in the 35" range. A few other good snowflake type tires but I don't recall any others that were studdable. Somewhere I made a whole list of candidates. I'll try to dig it up off the old laptop (Santa was good to me) and put it up here...would be a good...

    Stock BFG tires in the snow...

    Birdman...had the same thing on the snowblower the other day. Damn wet snow. I've been in all sorts of combinations of snow, snow/ice, ice/snow, black ice, sleet, snow melting to water on road, rain freezing to road on impact, frozen rain in chunks on the road, mock rumble strips of ice and...

    Reset Sync Voice Recognition

    ...and I would assume Sync Help line also verified you are up-to-date on your software upgrades...? If not, make sure you have the latest update, v.3.2.2. It made big improvements to the voice recognition.

    Front Camera

    I think that is what the OP...GvegasRaptor just said: his dealer ordered the parts for his 2012 with Nav. Hey GvegasRaptor, think you could give a little more detail on what exactly needed to be ordered and approx what the costs were? Thanks No word on how complex it'd be to upgrade a...

    like's and dislike's

    hey WildClyde and anyone else experiencing issues with voice recognition... See if you've got the latest upgrade to your Sync software from syncmyride.com (or your dealer could probably do it for you too) The latest update was pretty much devoted to fixing problems with the voice...

    Feasibility of MyFord Touch and Sync upgrades

    Well I see isabelB is now banned...surely not for the input here...but anyway. What she said is totally not applicable to the Raptor, we DO NOT have MyFord Touch systems. The features of that system are a generation ahead of the Raptor's Sync system. As for an update to this thread: if I am...

    Weird Clicking Noise on start up

    hmmm... maybe I'll make a recording of mine. Not sure if it always does it or if it is when I use remote start but it sounds like some sort of relay...I figured everyone's truck did it. If I remember right...it pulses 3 times.

    Time for another BCM

    here's the bracket, the side of the BCM/fuse box with the two center friction nubs broken and the finished glued up assembly.

    Time for another BCM

    Thanks for that JD...that the fuse box is incorporated with the BCM. So I decided WTF, I'm gonna pull it out and see where the problem is. So it was the back bracket, the one that slides in on the side towards the firewall. It has 3 little friction stops that hold the bracket in place...2...

    Air Compressor = PUMA Im gett'n this

    ymp, Haven't done it but read a lot of reviews, pros and cons of various methods and products back on the FJ Cruiser forums. Not sure what you're hoping to do with the air...ie, tires only or air tools or what. Viair makes some good units in all different sizes along with small auxiliary...

    Time for another BCM

    OK, brace yourself. This one's gonna make you laugh... So many of you followed along with my BCM failure which left me without my Raptor for 35 days. Finally everything got fixed and I've been enjoying my truck again. So yesterday when I'm at the dealer to get my clunk taken care of I...

    A Ford tech's take on "THE CLUNK" (THE ONE and ONLY CLUNK THREAD)

    Easiest repair ever with amazing results!! Mine clunked from the start and only got worse. (5,800 miles or so) Brought it in yesterday to have the new driveshaft/slip yoke installed. [which the dealer ordered after nothing but a phone call where I gave them the TSB number, they pulled it...

    The RC (remote control) Raptor from Birdman's sig

    ...and my take only, the car that started this discussion, the one in Birdman's signature pictured above...IMHO is the best looking of all the Raptor RC bodies I've seen. (Plus all the pics are of it in black!!!!) Some of the others just look wimpy and cheap...ie I don't care for the...

    The RC (remote control) Raptor from Birdman's sig

    Well I by no means fall into the "somone that is into this RC stuff" category...however I've owned a Traxxas E-Maxx or something for a while (high bidder at some fundraiser) and have had some fun with it over the years...and no wrecks requiring parts or knowledge so that's good. Anyway...

    Pro Box Loaded!!!

    Nice Cheek. So is that the ProBox 09FSC28L-800? How bout a pic with the seats down...does it stick out (forward) from the benches like the single 10" one? I'm hoping not...that would be great. Where'd you mount your amp? Think I've lost enough hearing in the last 40+ years...but still...

    Is Nav essential ??

    I never used to get the Nav option...had always seemed like a rip off. Then had it on the last car purchased, my wife's Audi Q7. Learned to really love it. That said...comparatively I do not like the "NAV" on my Raptor at all...and in fact have hardly used it for navigation. Being hobbled...
