2014 Raptor in Burma (Myanmar)

[thor1958]

Hi all.
After having spent a small fortune on fixing my current car(s) driving on extreme roads in Myanmar for the last 5 years, I decided to get a vehicle that can take some pounding spending most of its time on bad dirt roads that during the 5 month rainy season are almost undriveable and flooded.
Stumbled across a 2014 Ford SVT Raptor. Myanmar is clearly a Toyota Landcruiser country, but how con one not fall in love withe amazingly strong and powerful looking Raptor.

Owning a Raptor here is of course a bit complicated, since parts needs to be brought in from the US when needed and service equally difficult.

Since not familiar with the Raptor I have read up and also done a full technical check-up and now have a few questions, that I possibly can get some answer to.
The truck was sold at an in the US auction late last year and brought to Burma.
I was told that the damages were mostly body on passenger side and not severe. Trust no a problem.

I need to replace brake pads all around, front - passenger side chock bar leaking/sweating a bit, the SRS Airbag Control module not reset and one front crash sensor seems to be missing.
I will send the module to the US for resetting and get other parts sent over as well ( or go an collect myself, since cheaper than sending with DHL or others.

I have 4 questions:

1) Replacing 1 front chock bar is maybe not a good idea. Should do both or all ? Car have 77k miles.
2) There are some cables sticking out on the front side of the bed. Anyone know what they could have been used for ? If for something useful, I might as well install this (see picture below)
3) There is a button on the console next to the gear lever. What could this be for ?
4) Anyone know is I ca use the Microsoft Sync system here in Asia or even get navigation maps ?

Welcome to FRF

I’m guessing the wires going into the bed are for a previous owner’s added accessory and that button is also not factory.

I found this for the Sync maps - https://ford.welcome.naviextras.com/customer_care_en.html

Very nice! Post more pics, always great to see Raptors in the wild
And that's pretty wild, my grandfather flew over your neighborhood about 75 years ago, over the hump. Anyway to your questions:
1. What's a chock bar? Brake caliper?
2. No telling what the previous owner installed, is that air line or fuel line?? Could have been an air compressor, is it wired to one of the factory AUX switches or that one on the side of the console? Lights are probably the most common...
3. No idea, could literally be anything, does anything happen when you push it???
4. Hopefully that link @smurfslayer posted will help, would be nice if it was just a matter of swapping the SD card.

77k Miles isn't bad at all, looks like the previous owner did a lot of cosmetic work to it (body matched the paint color on the bumpers and fender flares, changed the running boards and mirror skull caps and wheels/tires), but overall it looks like it's in great condition. It'll definitely get attention
