You may want to look into this product: https://teambodyliner.com/paint-replacement There isn’t a shop near me. So I can’t comment on cost or durability but it seems to offer the durability of LineX but the appearance of paint or a wrap. Since you are in Sacramento, they do list a shop there...

This is unfortunately how it displays. No option has been found that I’m aware of in Forscan to make the number appear below the gauge even though you can see the number in the Measurements screen as you’ve shown. :mad:

RoamSat just announced their mini mount today. https://roamsat.com/product/roamsat-mini/?mc_cid=2a7dd4033a&mc_eid=7578fcaf88 Not cheap and will have to go on the outside of the vehicle given how it mounts and the thickness of the unit but is battery powered and has a router built in along with...

Congrats on the new Raptor and good luck keeping it stock. :)

Thanks. Reminded me of the forest service road we had taken a few years ago pre Raptor but I guess most roads/trails among the aspens all start to look the same this time of year. Great photos and thanks for sharing.

Is this out along Ohio Pass on CO rte 730?

Ditto on the start screen. Sounds like it’s off to the dealer to get them to reset it. Sigh….

Good to know about gas availability. I don’t mind carrying 5 gallons but 25 gallons didn’t thrill me. As for the Jeep windshield, don’t they all come from the factory with a crack?

Zoo is a lot better than it was when we first moved her. Excellent art museum, BBQ and Brewery. Also, not a bad football team either. :D

This is the way.

Not California but in the Kansas City, MO area. Haven’t come up with the exact figure for mileage but know that our trip into Canada in the Alberta Province put a little over 5,000 miles on the Raptor. This trip should more than double that. Guess I need to plan on an oil change or two in the...

Had debated doing it but decided against it. Will be using the Milepost planner and booking overnight or longer stays at places along the route. Certain amenities that the wife has said “we will not be doing without unless absolutely necessary.’ :D

Something for the next trip. :happy160:

While the main reason is in case of problems either with the vehicle or medical (the InReach and/or iPhone SOS mode can handle those), the other reason would be to find out about issues on the road ahead and to occasionally check in with family during the trip (again the iPhone would be the...

Have the Garmin with InReach and iPhone 13 covered. Took a look at the Roamsat setup and it looks interesting but as you said, is pricey. Seems like a VHF might be of use outside of between vehicle communication during Raptor runs. Thanks for the ideas.

Canadian Boarder Security always joke that they allow US citizens to bring bear spray into the country because “Canadian bears like their meals seasoned”. As for not being able to drive through Canada with firearms, not exactly true but there are limitations, requirements for transporting and a...

“It’s 11% better” to quote a certain YouTube personality.

Yeah bear spray is one of those things that you don’t think you’ll need until you do. Have a friend who when he lived in Alaska said he’d rather run into a bear than a moose. Me, I’d rather not be face to face with either. The trip won’t be for a while but I’ll definitely post some pictures...

Fuel types and availability the further you go north was a concern. However, if we do visit Prudhoe Bay, it will be via aircraft no matter how tempting driving there might be. :D

Thanks, very helpful. Sounds like time to look into those two items. I do have the usual assortment of recovery and emergency gear in the Raptor already including the obligatory extra spare which I may need to shift to an external mount for the sake of luggage/gear but the volume of gasoline you...

Wasn’t sure which place to put this. So if there’s a better forum or subforum for the question please advise me and I’ll repost there or if the moderators want to move it, please do. As I said in the title, the wife and I are planning a trip to Alaska next year and will be driving the Raptor...

True but that’s the risk I’m willing to take. Besides the truck appreciates both getting dirty and then getting cleaned up. :D Alternatively, if the question ever did come up, I could just open the back and show the loaded BuiltRight MOLLE panels and dust back there. BTW - Thanks for the...

Fingers crossed as I’ve not had the quality issues others have/are dealing with on my Raptor. Have to agree that the quality of vehicles across the automotive spectrum has been in a steady decline. The service writer at my Acura dealership has told me to hold on to the 1999-2008 vehicles that...

CoverCraft offers a number of options and fit levels. However, while they list covers for Raptors, I’m not seeing the R on their list of vehicles. Might be worth dropping them a note to see what they can do...

You do know that’s not what Rhino lining the bed means? :D
