    Side steps gen 1

    I was also wondering if anyone knows the torque specs for the side steps to mounting brackets and mounting brackets to cab. Also wondering about using antisieze or Loctite on them

    Side steps gen 1

    It just so happens that today I decided to start working on it. I’m going to have it sandblasted. I just spoke to a guy today. That said he’ll figure out a time next week that he can get it done. I purchased two cans of raptor liner from Amazon, as well as a can of their etching primer. I’ve...

    Finally picked up my Gen 1 — now the fun starts!

    Get the 27 done. Grab a pack of mini fuses for now. I have the kit but have not done it yet. I’ve had the car die once and replaced the fuse My local dealer installs the Roush superchargers. He did my transmission recall. If I had the supercharger on mine , I would’ve just asked them about any...

    Checking in from TX with a $19,999.99 Gen 1(DFW)

    Good job. Great to have the original sticker. I wish I had mine to determine the Torsen front axle

    Lack of aftermarket options with stock offset?

    I have the same concern. I have a used 2014 that came with Fuel 20 x 9 rims and Goodyear ultra terrain. I wanted the original bead lock capable wheels to go back to OEM 17” when time for new tires. I have the original spare which is the alloy wheel. I could not find any reasonably priced used...

    Tire bead balamce

    My brother has a 2023 king ranch fx4. He drove my raptor and said it turns, handles better than his and takes bumps in the road better. He didn’t notice anything odd about the wheel balance or steering other than the feel and sound of rhe lugs on the tires He has been driving f150s for a long...

    Tire bead balamce

    I took my 2014 for balancing / alignment in prep for a long trip. I purchased it a few weeks ago, and it seemed the tires were unbalanced. There was no recent documentation of either being done. The alignment was put to factory specs and tires balanced. The work did not seem to help the...

    Looks great. What did you use and how long did it take? Protecting the work with anything ?

    Exhaust tips

    My gen 1 raptor exhaust Tips look terrible. I would like to replace them with black ones instead of replacing with the factory chrome. I have not decided to redo my entire exhaust system yet and want to start with just the tips to make it look better. Has anyone found a suitable black tip...

    Side steps gen 1

    I decided to peel off the loose stuff, power wash and sand - maybe rent a sand blaster. I think I will spray on the raptor liner in a can. I’ll post the process when I do it - probably in the fall

    Lead Frame Recall 06-14-2024

    I’ve been looking to see if my 2014 was part of the original recall and then I got a notification for my car. The local dealership sent a guy out in a truck and he did the reprogramming while I was at my office.

    Rear shocks/ springs time

    I’ll just buy new ones for $500 / set for now - maybe get the others rebuilt depending on cost at my location. I’m just trying to decide when to do it

    Rear shocks/ springs time

    170k on my gen 1. I don’t do much off-roading with serious bumps. I’m not sure what it should feel like, but I noticed seems like rear tires need balancing - supposedly already done. I have some maintenance history but nothing on shocks , other than than fronts have been replaced with kings Can...

    Side steps gen 1

    I reviewed the post about people wanting to replace theirs or get some for ones that were not on the car when they purchased it. Mine have one or two places where the surface texture is peeling off. I live in an area where there are not many shops that do any bedliner , but was thinking about...

    Bay Area Gen 1

    This response is now several years old because I just purchased a twin to your car that happens to have had damage to the passenger side bumper guard. Right now it is held in place with a screw into that plastic base beneath it. I was wondering if you ever had yours fixed and how you get it...

    Yes , probably until my first big repair bill, it will dissipate, then it will return. That was the same with my Porsche

    I am not sure. They seem to be working well but have not put them to a test other than speed bumps / humps and no issues when those

    2 week Gen 1 owner

    I purchased a 2014 recently from a Ford dealer I’ve posted a few questions so far and received a response about my front camera not working. I’m just getting used to the truck. It has had several owners , 170 k miles. My local mechanic says it is in great shape , can’t really find anything...

    Phone mount

    What is the base you put in the dash tray? Built right , bullet point? I’m trying to decide what to get for a 2014 that won’t vibrate. They both look pretty sturdy , but a phone at the end of one of those arms seems like it would vibrate a little

    Sunroof drain tube

    I have seen where the sunroof drain tube ends at the bottom of the cab and it eventually rusts through. I can’t believe Ford would do something so stupid. I have been looking under my gen 1 for the drain tubes and can not find them. My cab seals and the areas around them look essentially new (...
