    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Got the old rattle, clunk, bang from the front end this morning on a long uphill climb, so when I got to work I installed a new check valve for the IWE system. Anyone ever come up with a fix for this rather than replacing bad parts with new bad parts? Paid off carrying spares

    siphoning gas

    Both my gen1 and my gen2 act the same way. When the fuel gauge gets to 1\2 a tank or so it will start knocking off miles to the tune of about 4 per 1 mile traveled. I just figured it was correcting itself. For example, when I fill the tank it'll read 625 miles to empty. As I'm traveling and it...

    GEN 2 Any of you thought about trading the Raptor for the Bronco

    I test drove a badlands 4dr a week or so ago and I thought it was pretty cool. Would be a nice addition to the stable, but could never replace my raptor. The whole place an order for one and wait for an unknown amount of time sucks. 2023? Really? That's minimum of a year from now. Alot can...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Took it for a ride to copper harbor near the tip of the Keweenaw peninsula for dinner in celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary. Went up Brockway drive while we were there. View was affected by smoke from the California wildfires.

    Deal or No deal - Real world ADM - Being Transparent

    These stories of the dealer jacking the price up after the truck is already ordered and a price previously agreed upon is tough to read. At no point would i still purchase the truck after that on principle alone. Unfortunately, when dealers find people to pay ADMs, it gives other dealers the...

    Uncle John’s Stone Cabin

    I sure enjoy all the pics you post. You're a lucky man to be out enjoying all those different places. My wife and I do a lot of adventuring in our area, but it's almost 100% in our rzr. Completely different type of country here. Nice to see other parts of the country.

    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    Beautiful mustang. 69 was my favorite year. Wanted one since I was a teenager.

    GEN 2 Any of you thought about trading the Raptor for the Bronco

    I've been thinking of possibly trading my wife's gen 1 for a 4 dr bronco for her dd, but I'd like to see and drive one first. It may not fit the bill. Plus, she would have the final say, as she will be driving it 95% of the time. I would love to build a 2 dr for serious off roading, possibly...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    I wanted something a little different, so this is what I came up with. Subtle, lol.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Took advantage of the 4th of July sale at rappy graphics awhile ago and installed them today. Great place to deal with. Thanks Matt!

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Used it to haul my dirt bike to my favorite single track area and did a little riding. Felt great to get out and ride. Probably won't tomorrow, lol.

    Build your Raptor

    Built one in antimatter blue the other night so I would feel better about the blue interior that's mandatory if you want 37s. Disappointed in the way they make you buy things you don't want to get the one thing you do. I don't intend on buying one, as I just did last July. Was hesitant then, but...

    Removed part of bed side graphic

    I was thinking about doing the same thing, but I wanted to see what it looked like first. Thanks for posting. Looks good!

    Just placed an order for the s1 amber covers and the plastic guards to protect the back of my lights on Monday from you.

    GEN 2 Orange S1 covers

    He just have me a warning. He wasn't concerned about the brightness, and oncoming traffic doesn't seem to care either. I live in a pretty remote area, so I'm hoping I don't get called out on whether they are legal or not.

    GEN 2 Orange S1 covers

    I'm also curious about the results of this. Just had a state trooper stop me because they looked green to him, so this might be a good fix for me.

    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    All off road stuff for me. Wife loves the xp1000 adventures we go on, and I got back into dirt bikes, almost 20 years ago now, when we got one for our kids. My son rides single track with me, but he's more of a motocross guy. RZR getting it's first ride of 2021 today.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    That's what I was thinking too. I thought that was a cool feature. Too bad they discontinued it. I'd be happy if I could just change mine to red, lol

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    I don't have a choice on the color. Wish I did. I'm not sure how many years that was available, but my 2020 doesn't give me an option.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Ambient light in cupholders light them up. They're actually clear with the design cut out of the bottom side .

    Thanks to the forum, these are what I got for my birthday a while back. Finally got around to installing them

    GEN 2 Has Anyone Removed the Hood Stripes?

    I was thinking of removing the outer portion of the rear decals and leaving just the word raptor, but I'm a little worried I might not like it. Has anyone done this?

    I was "that guy" today driving "too fast" in the snow

    I've been "that guy" from time to time, unfortunately. This truck has a tendency to inspire confidence. Living in the u.p. of Michigan all my life, driving in poor weather conditions is a given and this truck shines when the weather gets nasty. Over confident? Maybe at times. Passing a state...
