What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

[jrob6622]

I don’t know what to do.

Option 1: add bumper (powered coated black) then paint fenders to match truck and add bumper

Option 2: leave fenders alone and don’t power coat add bumper .

: my raptor is agate black and I have gloss black rims

Option 1 sounds like a pain in the ass but also will look awesome.

Option 2 is fine.

Installed Icon Preload Collar 1.5” in the front. Ford alignment is nearly OEM spec afterward. I’m considering a Stage 3 Motorsports SPC Alignment HD Camber & Caster Kit 86252 to get it perfectly in OEM spec alignment. However, it hasn’t shown signs of excessive wear as of yet.

Do what’s gonna make you happy in the end.

Swapped out the bumper for ADD’s Phantom bumper. All in all pretty straight forward but there are definitely some intricacies that made it take a little longer for someone of my skill level.



Taking the truck apart wasn’t difficult but there are definitely some cracks and pops that’ll make you cringe!

I had a triple dog setup prior so I had the Rigid cubes but Sidney at @Specialtyperformanceparts came through as always with the SR light bars for the outside and harnesses needed.



I ran into a couple check engine lights and problems with the cruise control relocation. Took the truck to the dudes at Comal Truck Gear and they really hooked me up. They did a lot of wire management and made me promise not to do another install like this myself absolutely love the way it turned out!

We couldn’t figure out the ACC though. The precollision alert is on the screen, Forscan is showing a horizontal alignment error. CTG and I both have tried the CCM reconfigs but nothing seems to be getting it to even allow normal cruise control. I’ve searched around here and have tried a lot of the tips and tricks but nothing is working quite yet. If anyone has any ideas or similar experiences feel free to ping me. I’d love to brainstorm.

Last thing on this stupid long post - installed the Built Right dash pad and some bullet point mounts today. That was fun and will definitely be useful.

I had to reset the cruise module and do a relearn three times. After the third reset/relearn it still showed faults. About a week later the light disappeared and it works great. Been working flawlessly for about 6 months

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I land there. I did the reset of the module then a few relearns. That gives me some hope!

Thought bout the truck at the dealer getting fixed as I saw the most Raptors I’ve ever seen on the road this weekend.
