    NorCal Rallycross Episode IV: A New Cone

    You might remember me from this or this or possibly this. Well here's the latest (albeit belated) episode of NorCal Rallycross in a Raptor. The set up was supposed to be a day/night run but I had to leave before the sun went down. The crew setting it up also forgot the timing equipment so...

    Another Sad Thread About a Dealer Fr*cking Up An Oil Change

    Here we go again... This is a much belated story but here it goes: Short story: Quick Lane not only forgot to use the correct oil, but also did not change the filter and instead monkey bashed it and left it on. Who knows if the oil was even changed... sorry Rap Long story (because I know...

    Insurance: What the Fr*ck!

    Checked my GEICO app yesterday... my 6 month premium jumped up to $888! I feel like I'm getting taken advantage of here, so I'm looking around. I could skimp on coverage like deleting the rental car coverage or raising my deductible from $500 to $1000 but doing so would only lower it about...

    NorCal Rallycross Episode III: Revenge of the Track Width

    Another weekend, another day out with the NorCal rallycross crew attempting to blend into the Subaru crowd. This time we were again at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows CA. Track was a lot wider this time which means fat girl could actually stretch her legs. Baja mode ensued and the truck actually...

    NorCal Rallycross Episode II: Attack of the Cones

    In case you missed this, I'm now addicted to rallycross in this big stupid truck. This week's adventure was at Prairie City SVRA. Chunky girl didn't really fit on this course... it was narrow and slow speed. Still had a ton of fun, managed to drag the family out to watch which was awesome...

    NorCal Rallycross in a Raptor?!?!

    Long story long: moving to northern CA is surprisingly B U L L S H I T. Virtually everywhere you go or think of going for some dirt therapy is fenced, owned, and unwelcoming. Without places to take the Rap I was starting to get disheartened with the truck. Damn near $7 a gallon for premium was...

    Let's talk Ethanol

    I wanna get ethanol, ethanol, I wanna get ethanol. Let me hear your corn talk, your corn talk. Like everyone, the current price of gas is making me rethink going to an E50 tune as there's an E85 station 10 minutes away and its surprisingly available throughout northern CA. Then this video...

    Desert National Wildlife Refuge: Courtesy of John

    Took a last minute birthday trip to Las Vegas. I had wanted to link up again with the illustrious @John M but unfortunately couldn't make that happen so I took John's recommendation instead and headed out with wife and dog solo. I don't know if you can call an area larger than two Rhode...

    Somebody come rescue this Screw!

    Anyone in Eastern NC looking for a truck?

    Peragon Retractable Tonneau

    Been patiently shopping for a Tonneau cover and found my way to Peragon. I like that it's made in the USA, super low profile, is rail configurable, and is respectably priced compared to Truxedo/Bak. Specifically wondering if the additional $29 is worth it for the tail gate seal or the $59...

    CARB Legal CAI

    Are there any intakes that are CARB legal? Or does everyone just reinstall the stock filter/air box for the test and then swap back? Reason I ask is I'm getting tired of fighting P04DB with my k&n and was looking at the options from aFe because they come with the vent tube insert. Unfortunately...

    What'd you do with these points?

    Currently sitting in the dealership (thanks front camera) and reminded myself I have 42,000 fordpass rewards points that I haven't spent yet. Was wondering what everyone did/would do with them

    How old are you?

    After reading the 'how'd you afford your Raptor' thread, I figured it'd be interesting to see how old everyone on here is. I'm 26 and figured I might as well enjoy one now instead of paying for a boring sensible vehicle I didn't want. I'm guessing due to price, Raptor ownership is skewed to...

    I can't stop P04DB

    I have a JLT 3.0 catch can installed on my truck for the last 6 months/9200ish miles. In that time I've popped now 4 CELs regarding crankcase ventilation and have yet to find a lasting remedy. This last one happened while I was cruising at 72mph down 95 like I had been for the proceeding 4...

    What are these?

    Had some struggles with two of the nuts/clips from the skid plates that are stripped. Anyone know the part number or a good place to get some more?

    Low battery voltage?

    Need some advice on a possible battery issue I just noticed today. IIRC the usual voltage according to the instrument panel is 14V on the dot. This morning as I headed to work it was down around 12V with occasional spikes to 12.5/13/and 14.5. Anyone experience this and is there any detriment...
