    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    Mine was a "JK" 2-door. Not exactly a "Raptor killer" but it would go places that my SWB Raptor could never get!

    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    Love the real ones not just retro versions! This is only a low 12-second car, WAY more capable than when originally made, but cannot compete with modern hardware. Yet nothing I've owned, Cobra, Shelby, M3, or the Raptor gets as many thumbs-up and people approaching at a gas station to talk...

    Diamondback bed covers and bike racks

    I'd put a backing plate on it to limit flex, but if you mean drilling into the top and bolting it on, yeah.

    Did i just get lucky??

    Perhaps 50% is a local thing, Austin's economy is superheated. USA Today says 40%, and I did say over 2-years not annual as usually quoted. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2022/02/13/used-cars-cost-more/6778705001/

    Difficult Decision

    Ford engineers have sick sense of humor. Oil change

    I had a fumoto on my Jeep. My oldest son is an actual pro mechanic laughed at me and said he gets to repair/replace those all the time. But I'm tired of dropping the entire plate for oil changes, even considered allowing the pimply kid at the local lube-joint touch it. I think I'll eat my...

    GEN 2 Raptor newbie looking at 2018 tomorrow - advice

    If you have the pano roof ask them to let you pour water heavy (use a squirter is better) on the corners to look for leaks. Just happy to see the SCAB love.

    Did i just get lucky??

    it is 2022, any new car on any lot is going for sticker or better. Used car prices are up over 50% from 2 years ago, and all manufacturers are struggling to keep production lines open. I read that Ford and Toyota are considering seeling incomplete bvehicles where some component (like...

    Jeep Wave, is there a Raptor Wave

    Former Wrangler owner reporting...I think it is roughly the same...about 50% of either would return a wave.

    Just sayin - best looking FoMoCo in a long while!

    Added a new family member the other day. Now three vehicles with 400+ HP in my possession, but the three could barely be more different!

    Just sayin - best looking FoMoCo in a long while!

    That '69 would have had a 390 or a 428, did you find a 427 or just like those valve covers? The car I sold to buy my convertible was a 390 4-spd fastback, the only FE series available in '67.

    Just sayin - best looking FoMoCo in a long while!

    Old school fun car is a 5.8L Windsor recently conversed to TB EFI (yay 1985!) But at least I do not have to worry about barometrics and humidity! Still, ignition timing and valves are critical! https://photos.app.goo.gl/dNNzLcRB1amP2QXw8

    GEN 2 Funny smell in my gen 2 Raptor

    I've had this issue since my first summer with the truck, see here. No good or permanent solution but some things you can do... Try turning the AC off when you are 5 minutes from destination and blow warm air through at high speed to remove condensation from coils and ducts. Replace the cabin...

    GEN 2 Bad smell in AC system

    No wet carpet on mine, I believe the mildew is inside the evaporator box. If I see condensation coming out below when I park after running AC for a while it means no clog right? Or maybe there's a partial clog? I did replace the filter each summer, it helped for a short period of time, guessing...

    GEN 2 Bad smell in AC system

    I believe it is mildew and mold more than dirt, but the smells started about halfway through my 1st summer of ownership, I've had other vehicles I kept more than 10 years and never had this happen. It definitely is caused by the AC, drove it all winter and spring with nothing. And after March...

    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    it is a beautiful set of children, but the dichotomy of his swapped black-wheel/gold-caliper combination of the two makes my OCD cause twitching.

    blackvue 900 dashcam install, any videos or tutorials for the raptor?

    I have an old BlackVue...I ran the cables (from behind the rear-view mirror), above headliner and behind A-pillar on the right side. Only concern is to have it all BEHIND the airbags, I used zip ties to keep the co-ax in check. All that stuff pulls right off at 90 degrees with e gentle but firm...

    GEN 2 OIL FILTER RELOCATION

    Just my opinion, but the problem is not difficulty, it is the invariable mess!
