    Windshield Wipers, the extra wipe.

    Yep, it ges those little drips that always seem to remain afterwards.

    "The Raptor... sizzles like bacon, even in the snow."

    Went out with some local 4X4's. I was the first to get stuck. High centered, my 03 Rubicon would kick the Raptors a@@ in the snow. The tires dont self clean & it's to heavy for it's tire size- no floatation, it just sinks until it bottoms out. However, on the trip back down the hill I left em...

    Parking the F-150: How NOT to do it

    Based on how I have seen cars like the 458 being driven, it was probably his fault. Yes, I know that is a type of profiling, but it does work.

    Not a Leaf

    These idiot greenies think that electricity just comes out of thin air. Well, it doesnt (as mentioned in previous posts) it comes from power plants & yes, they produce emmissions. Here is something else to think about. What happens when everyone has an electric car and the power companies have...

    tie-down points

    Correct me if I am wrong, but dont you need those little "T" shaped thingies to attach/ get into the key holes Or can you just feed a link of chain into them?

    Bad attitude of Afton Cannyon

    Good to hear you got out without having to use the Visa card. Also good the Jeep had enough weight to get you out.

    Heard a rumor

    Glad to hear everyone made it out OK. That sort of thing happens around here at least twice during the winter, (except it's usually snow that gets 'em).

    Man, that is great to see that someone is selling something. I get so tired of all the bad news the media keeps pouring out. You guys are doing something right- keep it up.

    Sue Mead's Dakar Raptor Report (with pics!)

    Glad to hear the Raptors are holding their own. The coverage on VS is not all that great (IMHO). They spend a lot of time covering the bikes, and way to much time on Robbie Gordon & his Hummer. I liked it better when it was on Speed & was an hour long show.

    Are the Raptor's Factory Wheels "Horrible"?

    I am 100% in agreement. I like the wheels. I think they are one of the better looking factory wheels. If you dont like 'em- that's fine to. Just dont expect me to get all excited when your "made in China" wheel fails and sends you off in some surprise direction.

    Hello from CA

    Welcome to the forum. "All about So Cal"? Uh, 2.5 hours from Sacramento is Nor NV & more desert than you can shake a stick at.

    First Look: GMC Sierra All Terrain HD Concept

    Yep, my thoughts exactly, way to much ft axle weight. Why a Duramax & do you really want power side step? One oops & they are stuck. I like my basic fixed side steps. My bet is that it never sees the light of day, or if it does it's going to be really watered down.

    raptor on top gear

    You hit the nail right on the head. That's the one thing that really bugged me- of course it's not going to be like a Viper on the road. Makes me wonder just how savvy Tanner actually is.

    How Many Times Have You Gone Offroading in Your Raptor?

    Probably 4-6 times, which really stinks because I have tons of desert around the corner from the house....

    TPMS and the fury it releases on the dash and DIC

    Hmm, my warning light wouldnt go off untill I got to 44 PSI & that was while sitting in the garage.

    TPMS and the fury it releases on the dash and DIC

    Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago when it got cold (lows of -3) I found that the tires were only about 4-5 PSI low. Now that the temps are back to normal, they are probably over inflated....

    "Who Pays When a Mechanic Crashes Your Car?" - Sports Car Market

    Who pays? The mechanic's life insurance policy. All wise guy comments aside, a good article & advice. More good advice: Dont write anything that you dont want read in open court.

    Looking Back: 1938 Mack ED Pickup Truck

    Yeah, trucks have come a long way, just look back to the 60's era trucks, closer to that Mack than our Raptors. I bet 90% of the people today couldnt even drive that Mack what with the non syncro trans...

    Top Gear USA to feature Raptor

    I have suffered thru two episodes of the the American Top Gear & if it doesnt improve (suggestion: replace the hosts) I will stop watching. Why they felt the need to try and copy the original version is beyond me. They should have found some hosts with chemistry & let it go in the direction in...

    Who has used hill descent control yet?

    This is good to know, thanks. Ford really should have shared this with us. But, aside from that it does work pretty well.
