    Outdoor garage Shelter recommendations???

    Wish I had gotten it about 2 feet wider but flat land is scarce. Pretty tight with a Mustang and 4x4 F250.

    Outdoor garage Shelter recommendations???

    I have a 36'x14' Shelter Logic outdoor shelter. They have optional fabric thickness, I went with the thickest. Whole thing was around $3400 if I remember correctly. Is a quality shelter and I would do it again. It isn't without some issues though... It tends to hold moisture - when it...

    Stock Forged Rims

    I would agree. I was "support" for friends racing in the 2017 Sonora Rally and thought it would be fun to run the Raptor in their Safari class. Got the bead lock rings just for the occasion. Close to 800 miles at 12-15 psi without issue.

    Stock Forged Rims

    sorry about heading off on a tangent. I had been reluctant to run true-beadlocks because I had heard they were illegal on the street. But then did a bunch of googling and couldn't actually find any statute that said they were. So when I see/hear someone say they're illegal, I'm interested...

    Stock Forged Rims

    I agree - it is a DOT thing. Hmmm, can a state or local LEO even enforce a DOT regulation? Makes me think of how in sanctuary cities the LEOs claim they can't enforce immigration laws because immigration is a federal issue. Along those lines, does anything I put on my vehicle have to be DOT...

    Stock Forged Rims

    I'd like a cite on this " it's still illegal in most or all states to run beadlocks on street". I've looked into this over the years and never found any such state statute. DOT has some things to say about bead locks but I found no state law saying you can't run bead lock rims. Have heard...

    GEN 2 AWE 0FG - Who still has it installed?

    no, don't mean AWE, the very first comment on this thread is "I've liked the sound of the 0FG that I see on video's," . Then there's the comment "I have the 2fg installed for several weeks". But then I don't know what "AWE" stands for either. Are people too lazy to type? Are these...

    Who runs factory true beadlocks all the time?

    Have been running them on a 2014 since 2015. No problems. Have been able to mount/dismount tires without any problem. Biggest annoyance was torquing 24 bolts in 3 increments on 4 wheels. Big-O balanced them for me. Discount Tire said they wouldn't touch multi-part rims. I have a '61 F250...

    Last Raptor

    not sure how to "reply" to a specific entry. new to this. anyway, guy who also has a white scab, what prompted you to get the scab instead of screw? For me, I had a 2013 screw and traded it for a 2014 scab. Just found the screw to be too long when running offroad. The add'l chassis...

    Last Raptor

    Sorry - ordered "F-150 Raptor SVT Certificate" in Dec. of '16 from "Ford Show Parts". Couldn't find a good link. SKU on the invoice is "M-0180-RAPT", $70. Includes the option break down report, a fancy certificate identifying your production number, an exact duplicate of the window sticker...

    Last Raptor

    This is way late but if others are like me, old posts get read. I have a 2014 Oxford White Super-cab Raptor. I ordered a report (SKU M-0180-RAPT) from Ford Performance Group that breaks down production numbers for all the Raptors. They show 22409 2014 Raptors being produced (2511 were Super...
