    We're Ordering New Raptors...Need Input

    OP since you ordered a screw I would order a scab with 801a package, spray in bed liner, bed extender, remote start, and in either a oxford white or silver.

    rope/straps or chain?

    also make sure to use a tow sling like the one I posted earlier in the thread if you are pulling/being towed from the front end. I have seen more damage to military vehicles being pulled off of one recovery point, I imagine the raptor will not stand up to the same abuse!

    rope/straps or chain?

    I know it's not the safe way to do things but I prefer tow straps & slings with a proper sized clevis on the frame as opposed to the "kinetic/stretch" recovery type of rope. The give that the recovery ropes offer also (in my exp) makes it hard to get heavy trucks *like the raptor* unstuck from...

    Yep! Also IMHO - probably the best all around tire for the raptor if you live in any climate that has snow or freezing temps!

    General Grabber Red Letter in the Snow?

    oh absolutely they are chit makes/models that do not perform well on dry pavement or in the snow/freezing temps. The ones that I have recommended I do have personal exp with and can vouch for there winter performance. Also with any truck (like the raptor) that can lock the rear end = alot easier...

    General Grabber Red Letter in the Snow?

    the only thing I trust for deep snow and real off road winter conditions is a dedicated snow tire with this logo on the sidewall that is M+S rated, when temps drop they perform! O/P I would choose either the wrangler duratrac, they are unbelievable in the snow/cold weather - plus you can stud...
