    Would a Raptor make it in Alaska Offroad Warriors

    I was thinking the same thing- could a Raptor make it? I don't think a stocker could. As previously mentioned- weight (and to a smaller degree) - width would have stopped it dead. Now, with some 40"+ tires, D 70's and some gearing, maybe, but there was that one part when the Toys were tearing...

    New Raptor Owner from Nevada

    Welcome Yes, keep watch on here, I cant find any Nor NV guys who want to run, so I have to run with these Nor Cal gombahs, (who are entertaining to say the least) but, we still manage to have a good time.

    Chevy fanbois going crazy over Old Blazer vs. New Raptor...

    Pack up that blazer, bring it out here to NV and lets see what happens. I got about a 50 mile run where I would love to see what happens. Unrealistic comparisons like this really insult everyone's intelligence.

    Welcome. Now the fun begins. Mud? Blech, you will do that once or twice, then the clean up gets real old.

    Trailer fault issues

    Yep, most likely some moisture in the trailer plug. Shoot some WD40 or other moisture dispersant into both ends of the trailer plug.

    NEED HELP: NY registration problems

    Nope, no restrictions- as long as you are truly non commercial & not in violation of any weight restrictions due to road conditions. You can get passenger plates for what CA considers a commercial vehicle by doing the camper shell / seats thing. All NV does is ask you if you are using it...

    NEED HELP: NY registration problems

    In CA your stuck with commercial plates, but there aren't all the stupid road restrictions like NY. I don't know how anyone can stand to live there (I still have some family there) the government screws you guys 10 ways from Sunday. I thought CA was bad, but they make NY look like paradise.

    Welcome to the forum. Great color choice, doesn't show scratches-as you will find.

    Hill Descent Control

    I wouldn't turn it on part way down, I think you have to let it run the show from the start, because I don't think it will come on unless your stopped (it's been a while since I have fooled with my HDC). What it wont do, or shouldn't do is allow the wheels to slide at all, but that is...

    Allow me to reintroduce my Raptor...

    Great news!!!! You just got luckier than when you were 16 and that hot neighbor gal had you come over to "help" her.

    Hill Descent Control

    What they said. it sounds like all sorts of crap has failed all at once, there's more whirring, clicking, groaning than you should hear in a properly functioning vehicle. It will get your brakes freaking hot, so use it responsibly.

    Well.... I think I'm out...

    Shit, I stay away for a couple of days and this happens.....Sorry to hear this. Look at it this way, you get some payback- Wait till they wash it and see what the paint really looks like.

    I want another Raptor she wants a Jeep

    What about the new Cherokee? Yeah, the styling is either love it or hate it, but once you're past that they are comfortable, quiet & you can get all the bells and whistles.

    Towing

    No I don't think the world would be a better place if everyone did what I do. Wow! 500 day!! I am impressed!! I hope you have your paid off house and copious toys protected legally because when your overloaded Raptor takes out a family of 4 you're going to need all the legal protection you...

    Towing

    Pretty much sums it up. Why does everyone want to turn a race horse into a pack mule?

    Trailer disconnected in dash.

    I know the older Ford TBCs were always checking the electrical integrity of the trailer brakes, so if you developed a short either in the wiring or thru a worn magnet it would throw a code. With that being said, they were overly sensitive and tended to show a lot of faults that weren't there. I...

    Ford Raptor Trail Project - Maps of where to run

    Given some of the routes/ mapping around here, that sounds like a necessity. And maybe a Cat D6.

    Ford Raptor Trail Project - Maps of where to run

    I think this is a great idea, as the Raptor has some specific needs in regard to trails- specifically width. A lot of the Jeep guides can get us into serious trouble. I am much more comfortable following a route that another Raptor has done. Regarding the liability issue, all that is being...

    Braking issues

    Yeah, something is up. The brakes on my Raptor feel grabby and aggressive compared to the wife's FX4.

    Steering wheel not straight - Help

    What they said. Steering wheel center adjustment is done with the toe setting. Center the wheel, lock it in place then set the toe.

    On road acknowledgement.

    Oh, you noticed that? The most I have seen here in one day here is 6, An average day is 3-4 and usually they are going 70+ the other way. Raptors also don't get the looks around here like they do in CA.
