Picked mine up from the dealer yesterday. My first new raptor since I bought a 2017. Loving it so far. Went over the checklist sticky and all seems good. Was able to press the fuses down a little more from the factory but all the hoses seem where they should be and no other issues that I saw. Tuxmats are arriving shortly along with a short antenna. Mudflaps going on tonight. Waiting to install bedcover until i get a bedliner sprayed in. Going in for window tint next week

JB4 installed yesterday, since it was an OBD2 install I had to remove the BANKS pedal monster, inquired (with both Burger Motorsports and Banks) and found out that with an (OBD2) splitter and going into the settings of the banks app and setting Vehicle to NO OBD you can use them both.

This really wakes up the truck - worth every penny - on both accounts!!

I also have the COBB intake and the Intercooler (stock in place) and the intercooler shutters removed with an intercooler shutter cog (fools the computer into believing the shutters are still there - if not throws a CEL).

I'm considering the Banks unit. Reason for using both?

Swapped out the Toyo RT Trails today for Ridge grapplers. I knew I should have went with the RG’s to begin with. Had a constant bounce that Discount Tire couldn’t get rid of. They even swapped out the Toyos once and it was still there. Even though they look great I wouldn’t recommend them. 8 ply vs 10 ply probably helps too. Smooth as butter now…

I hope you have better luck with the RG's in the rain.

Got those for my 2014 Raptor back in ~2020/21. Would break loose with even light acceleration when raining. Made the truck feel like my old Roush Raptor with all the tire spinning lol.

They did ride very smooth and wore well.

Gen 3.5 looks great in black. Where did you find the plug holes? They seem to be out of stock everywhere I look.

Lowe’s has tons of them in the hardware aisle. 3/16” black plugs, I painted mine, but honestly would’ve been fine going on without having painted them - they’re too small to notice satin vs black.

This is my 6th set of RG’s. No issues as of yet.
