    My Dinosaur Project

    Y'all are my people. "Lift kit" and bigass wheels on a Raptor are sacrilege. Please just go find a FX4/Plat/Limited to do stupid mods to. You can find them with the 6.2 if that's all you really want.

    Infinite Reality's LED Thread

    Huh. I'll leave the rear as is and focus on the front lighting for now. Kinda thinking about going to Morimoto tails later.

    Infinite Reality's LED Thread

    How're the resistors you bought holding up? Did you need the resistors in the rear? Edit: Looks like hyperflash can be disabled via FORScan which is not only free but highly preferred. When I eventually get around to doing full LED I'll be doing that. Google shows its already been done...

    About to buy! Is this a good deal?

    I had a 2011 with a 3.5 EB bought new and loved the power but they don't have the sound. I'm gonna say when driving this truck I've never said to myself "I sure wish this truck had 19 more horsepower and sounded like a beehive". Are Gen 2s faster? Hell yeah by quite a bit with the extra power...

    About to buy! Is this a good deal?

    RCR is such a negative ass. Everything is awful. Doug doesn't know shit about trucks, and his new reviews have really fallen off after he sold Cars and Bids. But I have watched this video as it's an older one, and he is dead on point about these trucks maintaining value compared to other trims...

    Sent just a little too hard

    Finally got the interior dry and clean on Saturday. I don't think it's been so clean in a while! If my girl hadn't been in and out of the cab so much it would've been easier. I didn't make half the mess she did and I was crawling between the front and the back! She had fun and the truck is ok...

    Sent just a little too hard

    Yep, immediate regret going too fast. I'll be going back once it drys back out. I'll take it a bit slower to start with, lesson learned!

    Sent just a little too hard

    If you can't tell from the way the truck looks: I tried like hell, but she wasn't clawing out of that clay without help. The truck just kept leaning further into the mud and more and more water was getting in so I stopped and called for an assist. I had no gear either because this was just a...

    Sent just a little too hard

    I'd have taken being fortunate enough not to fall in in the first place! But if it's gonna hit the fan, this was certainly the most desirable outcome! Worst I got was out $100 and several hours of clean up. Still can't believe it was so cheap to get a yank.

    Sent just a little too hard

    Yesterday I was putting around and I drove past a dead end where saw a long dirt trail that went around it. I immediately wanted to hit that sucker hard, and I had the truck going at least 50 at one point! The surface started to deteriorate a bit and I was focusing on the road, and didn't notice...

    SCARY "almost" no start...

    I don't have experience with this specific issue, but I have seen some wierd shit happen when the capless fuel systems are messed with even while the vehicle is off. I remember when first getting our old Escape my wife was intrigued by the fuel flap and poked at it while the engine was off. The...

    Happy 6.2 day

    Hey folks it's 6.2 day, take her out for a romp! Kinda sour I wasn't given the day off of work, but I'll get over it eventually.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Big week for my girl! Since she sits 5-6 days a week, I really wanted to get her in the garage. So I busted ass yesterday reorganizing and she's in there with my wife's car. Looks hilariously massive and it's a little tight, but it feels good having her put away. Oil change, transfer case, and...

    New Member and Owner of Gen 1

    Congrats, I got mine 2 weeks ago. I wanted one when they came out too, but there was no damn way back then. Even now it's a frivolous purchase with how thirsty she is, but I'll be damned if I don't care what the numbers at the pump say. I smile every time I turn the key! I'm so happy these...

    Not a scratch on the skid plates!

    Just bought a 2013 1-owner

    I bought a very clean 1-owner 2013 yesterday, I still can't believe I have a Raptor! I've wanted one of these since forever. I traded my 2022 RAM, and have zero regrets. This truck has so much more character! This is my 3rd 12th gen F150, but first Raptor. I was heavily involved in the early...
