    GEN 1 Shock Rebuild Foutz > SDHQ

    Funny, I had them rebuild my shocks last year and this is verbatim what I was told the day after I dropped my truck off (the rear shock shafts to be exact). I told them no on the UCA and ball joints as it was still covered under the ESP. Ironically enough, the Ford dealership said the UCA and...

    Interesting, wonder what happened to it. Site didn't list a price, simply to call for pricing.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    No drilling at all. It mounts to the bed rails with clamps (you can see the clamps on either side, one near the cab and the other near the tailgate). It took about 45 minutes to install as I had to remove the existing OEM tonneau. When stowed it folds down to the cab (like a tonneau cover...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Not necessarily today, long overdue. Added a Softopper a few months ago prior to a 3-week long road trip. My significant other and myself are under 6' so it worked out well with a sleeping platform and camping gear stowed under. Also had the shocks rebuilt with Geiser springs, pretty nice...

    Trip planned to remote area - what to bring?

    Passed through there over summer, awesome park. Scenery is fantastic. It is indeed remote, though I navigated it with some pre-downloaded maps on my phone just fine. If I had the chance to re-do it (would love to do White Rim trail) I'd certainly add a radio to the top of my list. Above all...

    Ford Says Its New 7.3-Liter V8 Can Fit In The F-150, Mustang

    What could go wrong? The markets never, ever correct.

    Ford Says Its New 7.3-Liter V8 Can Fit In The F-150, Mustang

    We the #1 producer of oil in the world - every vehicle manufactured here should have a V8, because 'merica (and because gas is only a $1.90).

    GEN 1 Shipping a Raptor

    $1,000 to $1,300 sounds quite a bit more reasonable. I wish you the best of luck in your hunt, will buy you a celebratory beer once it gets here!

    Epic Chevy fail

    Agreed. Garbage employees won't produce anything but garbage products. Get out the checkbook, GM. Time to start giving back some of that after-tax money.

    GEN 1 Shipping a Raptor

    Funny, how do the trucks get to the dealership? Air dropped out the back of a C-130? No width issues when I had the truck open shipped from a dealer in Orlando, Florida to Tucson, Arizona in January of this year. I paid $1,400 but the truck arrived with a busted windshield, so I can't make a...

    GM knocking out of the park with headline news lately: https://jalopnik.com/gm-workers-hung-whites-only-bathroom-signs-and-nooses-a-1830755166

    Raptor vs built sport

    Spot on. Unless the VIN reflects a Raptor build, it's just a 'X' model F150 with a bunch of sunk costs. You'll benefit from the lower depreciating asset value by paying upfront for the Raptor trim level.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Looking forward to seeing the eco boost engine and Gen 2 front clip swap next as well!

    Bryan Cranston Spot

    One of my favorite TV spots of all time. I've never had the desire to own a Corvette, but that commercial certainly makes me want to. At any rate, big block V8s may not be the future but their macho noise will always be timeless.

    RAM TRX

    Amazing that no other manufacturer has hopped the Raptor's coattails already. A lot could happen between now and when the TRX hits the floors (the economy could turn, oil could increase, or the undead rise to feast on the flesh of the living, ect.). I like the TRX but me thinks RAM will be too...

    Installed a Black Widow Muffler

    I went with the center/center based on recommendation from @A.I.I.Raciing (Brian). Offset pipes might be marginally quieter due to the flow, though I can't speak to it. I too was worried that it might be too loud, but I couldn't be happier with the result. The race venom is just enough to let...

    Installed a Black Widow Muffler

    Yep you're correct - 3" in/out with fabricated Y. It was about an hour of work and ~$100 out the door. Still really pleased with the exhaust.

    Had the chance to drive a gen 2

    In agreement with @EricM, he encapsulated the happenings of this site and attitudes on both sides of the aisle pretty well. @smurfslayer dropping the nuclear meme option, if only @Aaron were still around for the wrap-up and /thread

    A Slight Visual Tweak on Stock Wheels

    Truck (and the vette hiding in the garage) look great, contrasting ring really makes the tires pop IMO. Got a kick out of the vanity plates too. Nice stable.

    The stigma of owning a Raptor

    Well optioned trucks are the new luxury sedans. The rest of the population simply hasn't wrapped their mind around that yet.
