    Another Stereo Build

    I really like the audio frogs. I was going to go with Audison after auditioning them, but saw these on the wall and the dealer played them for me. They are incredibly detailed especially the GB25s. The 6 3/4 in the doors are alright, but i have heard better. They did handle a ton of power with...

    Another Stereo Build

    Pictures! So remember I had to slap this together last minute. It is still rough, but everything is secure. I am just posting so it might give some ideas. The sub box in 33"L x 13.5"D x 11"front and 9.25"rear. Actual Box front and rear are 9" x 7.25" the extra two inches give the sub...

    Another Stereo Build

    Sorry to have taken so long to update. The a pillars with the GB's fit great. I didn't have enough time to finish them and when I drove to vegas the heat pulled the fiberglass away from the pillar where the handle meets. Back to the drawing board on those. It does sound amazing though. I...

    Another Stereo Build

    Just got my new 2017 Raptor and wanted to do a build that I would enjoy. I am in the middle of it so here a re a few pictures. I am running low on time (retiring from Air Force and driving down to lower 48 from Alaska in 2 weeks) so I think I will eventually just have to shove everything in...

    Auxiliary Gas Tank

    Thanks for all of the likes. I personally would like to have it black, but the wife likes the chrome so... I plan to fill up before Canada and hope to last a little while. I only get 10 MPG when towing my trailer so it will be a lot of gas. Thankfully the military is going to foot the bill...

    Auxiliary Gas Tank

    Hello, I just got done installing an auxiliary gas tank in the bed of a 2010 SCAB. It is a DOT approved 37 gallon tank with pump and nozzle. I put a Dee Zee tool box over the top so you cant tell it is even back there. The set up is pretty sweet and I will post pics a little later. I am...

    Really want 37" tires, but....

    "Rookie" well Boss i should have known you would be policing my thread. I don't think you have even read the thread all the way through. I have said several times i have zero intentions of off roading this truck anywhere near its capabilities. So let me clarify so my rookie self does not...

    Really want 37" tires, but....

    I thought i would update this after 1000miles on the tires. The tires are great. They are quiet and ride really nice. I had to air the stock bfg tires up to 50 when towing so they ride would feel right. With the nittos i tried that and the ride was almost scary. I think it is due to the...

    No thanks CQBRR I don't have that fear, because I never intend to do such a thing. I have said through several posts my intentions and jumping is for sure out of the question.... :)

    Thanks Steele and G&P I don't know if I would have done without the help from this board. Anyway I honestly don't know where we are going. My wife plans everything and I just drive there LOL. We always take lots of pics and I will try to include some raptor stuff in this time. Have fun...

    Really want 37" tires, but....

    Surprising well. I am not going to lie though sometimes it catches me unaware and I grip the wheel a little tighter, that usually happens whena semi passes me, but for the most par I have had very few issues. My wife drives it for about a third of the trip and she feels totally in control. At...

    Really want 37" tires, but....

    Thanks Fenderstrat appreciate the compliment. I agree the 37's look like they belong on the truck. I was really surprised at how normal they looked. On my Jeep rubicon 37's are massive, but this truck just looks right with them. Here is my toy I am towing down just for the hell of it...

    Really want 37" tires, but....

    Here are the pics!!! The pic with the big red circle is the inner fender liner cut back to avoid rubbing. The little circle is the very bottom corner of the fender flare trimmed to give the extra clearance. Hopefully this helps. Let me know if there are any other questions. I drove the left...

    Really want 37" tires, but....

    Got them! I went with the Nitto Trail Grappler 37x12.50x17 on stock rims and paid $1650 out the door with Discounts full tire warranty. First impression was damn that is a great look for the raptor. Second impression was they are not as big as I thought they would be. I drove it to my work...

    Running 37's with Stock Fenders

    You were right! they did rub a little on the bottom corners and the guys at discount tire removed a little of the flair down there and all is good. So for no more rubbing at all, but I have not flexed it yet....

    Running 37's with Stock Fenders

    Capt thanks for posting the pics. I am putting 37's on today and I already did the pinch seam, but I am on the middle perch. I did not know you could trim the fender like that, so I am going to it soon. I am running stock rims and the tires will be 12.50's. I can't do much off road (wife has...

    Really want 37" tires, but....

    I did the mid perch on Monday (not that hard really) and then trimmed the pinch seam. I am getting the tires put on wednesday and will be sure to update when i am finished. I hear you Boss, but I did several searches and found nothing on the exact set up I want to run. I want stock wheels...

    Towing

    After towing for over 10k miles on this set up I feel o have a pretty good feel for how the truck performs. Adding better springs or a bump stop will help but having air bags is the ultimate in ride comfort. I can level the truck perfectly and they absorb all of the imperfections in our great...
