    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    Some updates on the whole process of getting these factory shocks swapped. So I did end up ordering a new set from rock auto. For the crew cab raptor a new set of shocks cost $1,359. The packages came pretty beat up (the boxes are quite heavy of course) but the boxes inside the packages were...

    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    Yeah I moved from Central Oregon to Western Montana recently. @Jhollowell I have a friend in Bellingham that has a Gen 1. I'll let him know you are in the area

    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    @Gumby and @2slo4u I appreciate the wisdom (and the part numbers). I hadn't even considered that the shocks could be bought new, and for a reasonable cost. For a brief moment I considered just shelling for the 3.0s from SVC to round out the suspension upgrades :Big Laugh: be a lot cooler if I...

    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    Hey all, The truck is a 2013 and just crossed 50k on the odometer. It's high time these shocks get serviced. I have some logistics questions about how best to accomplish this. I do have an open service request with Fox, and shocks themselves are in fantastic shape. I called a local shop I've...

    New Gen1 owner

    OP I have a set of '13 takeoff OEM bead locks that I won't be needing. Have you secured some already? What region are you located in?

    Who’s sold their Gen 1 during this market and hates the decision they made?

    I bought my truck in November 2020 and have been following the market ever since, mostly out of curiosity. I don't really plan on selling as I tend to keep my vehicles for the long haul. 2013 Terrain with 30k miles on it right now. Show me a truck that looks better dirty and I'll show you a...

    Raptor Gen 3 Buyers - Tonneau Covers and Bedliners

    One of my favorite accessories is my bed mat. Cargo doesn't shift, it protects the bed floor, and it's super easy to clean and reinstall. Who would a thought a 1/2 inch slab of rubber could shine so bright.

    Sell now or trade in later for Raptor R?

    Sell it now, buy a bitcoin, and you can buy two raptor R's by the time it comes out. All jokes aside resale values are ridiculous right now so it's worth considering a sale now if you don't need a truck for a good while.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Got the bubbles out! Plus some bonus stuff I've done since I bought it last November: 2 pairs of squadron SAE fogs, bedside molle panels, tonneau cover, and a t slot for the bed rails. Rack coming soon.

    What Do You Use Your Fogs For?

    I'm running two amber Squadron SAE fogs on one upfitter switch (15A). I do a lot of driving in the snow so I wanted good light output that I could just flip on and keep on. They give great visibility in shite weather and they give fantastic fill at night. I'm saving the 10 Amp for a 3rd...

    Terrain with Bronze Wheels

    I have a terrain raptor and I love Stage 3's build sooooo much. I'd say send it. https://www.stage3motorsports.com/Stage-3s-2013-Raptor-6-2L-Weekend-Warrior-Project-Truck.html

    New-to-me 2019: big bounces on concrete highway

    The truck sends information to the driver about what's under wheel. Certain sections of highway, like the concrete slabs you mentioned, can cause a high frequency oscillate in the suspension. The cab starts to resonate at specific velocities because the space between the dips in road syncs up...

    Purchasing a Raptor

    The offroad and performance mods could be considered a big plus. It does seem they installed quality stuff. Updated headlights is nice too for those early Gen 1's without the HIDs from factory. The knife cuts both ways tho! Almost certainly it was offroaded for some of it's 90k mile life. I can...

    GEN 1 Electrical Issue with Upfitter

    Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I want to update this for anybody else having electrical issues with the switches. My case was definitely the broken switch assembly. the part of the toggle that connects to the switch on the circuit board was broken off completely in the case of aux 3 and...

    GEN 1 Electrical Issue with Upfitter

    I searched around for the part and found lots of complete raptor panel assemblies (offroad mode + hill descent + upfitters) for around $200. But I was able to find JUST the upfitter switch part direct from ford. https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/electrical/switches/switch-assy-6564031-1 You...

    GEN 1 Electrical Issue with Upfitter

    I'm curious what your solution was to fix the broken switches in the cab. I have two aux switches (3 & 4) that are not lighting up when toggled on. I'm afraid I'm going to find dead wires behind the glove box =(

    Pocket lighting plan

    Thanks for the feedback, extremely helpful. @RotorHead695 good note about the spot location and @Ruger about the use case. Makes sense that you would try to keep the distance lighting higher on the ride. Clearly I need to look into the pocket lighting options a little deeper :hmmm2: I want to...

    Pocket lighting plan

    Here is my current plan for the front facing lighting on the truck [Baja Designs] Squadron SAE Wide Cornering | Amber [Baja Designs] Squadron Pro Spot | Amber One for each fog light pocket. Wire the two SAE lights into a single harness and then the two spot lights into a different harness. I...

    Low Mileage Gen 1

    @Buzzard2 $49.9k was my out the door number. The original sticker number was $58.5k. I think todays used vehicle market cuts both ways. It was a lot to pay, but I don't think it would have even been on the market otherwise. Sell high and all that. I started the hunt back in August for "a...

    One and ONLY gas mileage thread please

    I have a bone stock 2013 raptor with 18k miles. Drove from Mississippi to Oregon (~2400 miles) and averaged 16.5 mpg. It was the delivery drive home so I was reeeeal soft with her.

    Low Mileage Gen 1

    @SKS yep in Bend! For a few months I was looking on the cargurus and autotraders daily. I had a few checked out by local mechanics and moved forward with this one when the ppi came back clean. It was everything you'd want in a used truck, owned by an older car collector that took meticulous care...
