What did u do to your raptor today?

You're lucky a good thief only needs 10 minutes to be driving away with your truck, I would be very careful because I bet, they'll be back!

Do they use the frame wiring some how?

Theives are at it again. Frame harness opened up for some reason. What would they even do with this wiring? Pretty much just lights I'd assume.

Are you sure that your tire didn’t get into the harness on a hard left turn? Mine has clear rub damage in the same location.

@matrix243 that might not have been someone with ill intentions, but as stated above the tire if it got that close... or just driving and road spray (rocks, gravel, salt ect). Mine looked like that once. Just poor placement of the harness by ford putting it harms way. I ended up building a tin shield and fabric taping it up. Some have moved the harness entirely.

No, tire is no where near and tape is pulled back with each wire is spread apart like they were looking for a color.

Interesting. Looks almost exactly like mine did a few years back after a weekend of beating the shit out of it on dirt roads!!!

I’ve seen a lot of F-Series trucks stolen over the years. Damage is always door locks/handles and ignition.

However, there are plenty of threads about relocating that section of frame harness due to damage from road debris, snow/ice accumulation, and off road damage.

Here’s a shot of mine where something damaged the harness and several wires.

^ that's what mine looked like!

Wires are also all clean and we have winter slush roads here. Plus tape is pulled back and wire loom is in perfect shape.

Yours does look like the loom is pulled back like mine. Interesting

Yours does look like the loom is pulled back like mine. Interesting

Just trying to ease your mind. On mine you can clearly see the damaged loom and where the wires were kinked. A couple wires had been repaired by a previous owner. I repaired a couple more.
