    MyKey = DON'T DO IT!!!

    I don’t know how, but I missed this post originally. I have to say that while I was reading the post I couldn’t shake the following line out of my head: “Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”

    Using Acronyms

    Trust me, when you get the grinding you will figure out what IWE means. What kills me is the idiots at some of the dealerships who give you a blank stare when you tell them you’ve got an IWE issue with the truck. You will pretty much be guaranteed at least 2 trips to the dealership because they...

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

    Got the ARE topper that I ordered for the wife’s truck installed! It has the bedliner exterior finish and LED interior lighting package. I’m not a topper person myself, but the wife needs one because she keeps cages in the back for her wildlife rehabilitation duties. I recommend the bedliner...

    Raptor Assault

    The wife and I both went, all I had to do was buy her a Raptor!

    Totaled or Not

    http://www.theforensicexaminer.com/2014/pdf/Air Bag Deployment.pdf This should make your eyes glaze over unless you are an engineer or a traffic homicide investigator (I would fall into the second category in my prior life). Check out the top of page 8 which pretty much covers this crash. If...

    Fits in the Garage ... Barely!

    Ha! My wife likes to point out “why would you need a water heater if it’s already hot?” Even Mike Holmes calls it a “hot water heater” on his shows... I would throw in there “nuke-u-lear,” I’m not sure where that u comes from but it appears probably better than 50 percent of the time I hear...

    2020 Sync 3 Update

    I’m not an engineer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. What question(s) would you like answered? My all-time favorite commercial!

    GEN 2 Buyback options

    I don’t know the lemon laws in AZ. And I don’t know if you traded in a vehicle when you purchased this one. When I went the lemon law route with my Grand Cherokee in Florida they had to either return my trade-in (never going to happen, they’ve been resold long before then), or pay you full blue...

    Do you put weight in bed for snow or not needed

    Lol! We’d call that a “dusting” and not even get our shovels out!

    Do you put weight in bed for snow or not needed

    No weight for either of our trucks. We run 4A most of the winter because almost every drive from our house will involve packed snow/ice roads to asphalt that will vary between clear to blowing/drifting snow out around the farm fields. Anything more than about 4-5 inches of snow and we will...

    Anyone with experience using "Bubba Rope"...any alternatives?

    Last winter: After adding a bubba rope and a Raptor: In case you are curious, the Raptor looks small because that was one big ass tractor.

    I guess it’s my traffic homicide experience, but all I can see with this set up is this:

    40" Rigid RDS on OEM Bumper

    Should I buy an extended warranty?

    LOL, I am sitting here at a fire base bored out of my mind scrolling through FRF when I see the title of this thread. The first thing that runs through my mind is “that one is going to be too difficult for the squatch to pass up.” It’s just too easy to see the squatch bait posts. I’m thinking...

    Winter Driving and tires

    Bubba Rope all the way for me. Yes they are expensive but they get vehicles out that would never get pulled with a regular tow strap. If you are on snow or a slippery surface all that is going to happen is you are going to spin your tires unless you want to risk damaging a vehicle from the force...

    Forscan changes - tweak your truck

    Both of our 2018’s came from the factory with secure idle. I was going to do it myself, but I tested both before I hooked up the computer and when I removed the key and tried to put them into drive I got a “no key” message and the shifter would not move out of park.

    rattle in 2wd

    IWE issues give off an “ice in a blender” rattle noise. My Raptor had it, and it’s easy to fix. The hard part is getting a dealership to actually address it. I got the “could not duplicate” response the first time I brought mine in (even though I told them it was going to be an IWE problem when...

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

    I guess I’m too old and not near hip enough to get it. Because all I see is a huge bug removal issue on the front and crap sticking to the sides when the tires kick it up. Apparently if you have enough money it wouldn’t be your concern, it would be the concern of the person you hired to remove...

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

    Sweet Jesus that sounds hideous. I’m trying to get a mental picture of any car that might look good done entirely in blue suede, the closest I’m thinking might be an old Cadi with the fins...

    Ford Pass Features 17 vs 18 vs 19

    Thanks for the tip! I lost location on the app about a month ago and was getting kind of pissed about it (not enough to actually do something about it though). I logged off and when I logged back on the location was working. You’ve got a future in I.T., Maybe we can get your truck wrapped in...
