Official Raptor R Modification Thread

I think the ‘24 R wheels is the best design Ford has released. I only replaced them because my OCDness would come out when I washed the truck and found myself spending way too much time cleaning them.

I’m not sure what was meant either but I can say I really did not like the stock 24R rims at all. That gaudy “beauty”ring just looked so out of place. Thought about new wheels But after beadlocking I love them! Simple but beautiful (IMO anyway)

Hence why there is more than 1 wheel in the world. IMO 24R is best OEM wheel I have seen and easy to clean with right tools and cleaners.

They look good, but they’re so damn heavy that I can’t imagine running them again.

My only issue with the stock tires and wheels is I wish they were an inch or two wider…..( that’s what she said) Would improve the front profile.

On another note besides intake and catch can are there any more low hanging fruit in terms performance? Also do the aftermarket exhausts make much of a difference? More than willing to do the exhaust just worry I’ll throw 3 grand at it and it will sound about the same. Have see the videos from borla but honestly don’t hear much of a difference probably need to hear it in person to get the full effect.

2024 Raptor R. Copied Boost Creep on the intake but added a catch can as well. had put on 20 in Vossen's with wider tires that my buddy was selling off his 2023 V6 raptor but it completely changed the ride and i hated it. back to stock for now. don't recommend as it causes the truck to Hop at takeoff in 4A and you lose a lot of the great ride it has stock View attachment 474298View attachment 474299View attachment 474300View attachment 474301

Nice! I have that same catch can too! Haha

The Borla mid-section is a nice upgrade in sound without being too obnoxious. You can definitely hear a difference in Baja mode and on cold-start, but you can still make the truck super quiet in quiet mode. It's nice to retain that functionality, and I'd say it was a worthwhile upgrade. DM me with you zip code if you are interested in pricing as we are a dealer for Borla.

The stock wheels are the way to "only" go, even on the 2024 Raptor R, even though I'm a "BIG" fan of 2023 37" Performance Package Raptor V6 Eco-Boost or the Raptor R "OEM" wheels. "PERIOD" As well as the front end of the 2023 Raptor or Raptor R "all day long" The jury is out on the rear tail lights, so I just changed out my rear tail lights, and went with the Mishimoto LED's, and I'm still waiting on their " LED Third Brake Light" with the rear camera.

I take View attachment 474560% responsibility for ordering the wrong one. BTW: the fit on those rear tail lights isn't great along the rear quarter panel, it's in the curvature part of the tail light, there is some gapping (maybe three credit cards stacked together) between the lenses and each rear quarter panel, compared to the OEM tail lights.

Multistate guy has been rambling gibberish for a long time now. Not sure if it’s pure intellect or the bottle but either way it never makes sense. He’s usually spewing about his M4 and homes in different states. Where do these people come from……

They come from Cali and N.E. Kansas. I don't drink or do any type of drugs, just too much iced coffee in the mornings. Don't be such a hater: "HATER"
