What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

I found a photo. You can see these plates on the end of the frame rails which the stock bumper attaches to. You need to trim the bottom something like the yellow lines I have added. You do not touch the frame rails etc.

Very useful thank you.

The guy from Brixton Bravery is @_kyle.raymond_ on Instagram. Get on there and poke him a little. If that doesn't work, shame him on one of the pics of his wife, and I'm sure he'll respond then.

I posted some carrier options above.

Thanks lol his IG nick name is a score
But he does not seem active on IG last picture posted was on May but Ill and shoot him a Dm and see how it goes on.

Very stoked my Icon stage 4 kit is done and its under the knife for a color change.

The truck is silver any color combo will be appreciated.

Installed my Cobb Stage 2 tune and Turbosmart BOV.

If it starts clicking making annoying tapping sounds the BOV needs a dedicated line. Drive me nuts.

How does it sound?

I like it. It is louder for sure, but not to the point of obnoxious. I almost think this is how the truck should have come - the exhaust now matches the aggressive look of the truck IMO. I understand why some may not like it though. It's been so long since I've had a v8 though, I've had a number of 6, 5 and 4 cylinder vehicles and they all have their own sound, the raptor is no different. I couldn't believe how heavy the exhaust was and how bad it looked - I live in Los Angeles and it looked like it was already rusting out. The FP fit like a glove with no installation issues at all. The only issue I do have is with the OEM downpipe and the nodule it has on it, I can't get the exhaust clamp where I want it because there is a pea sized bump designed to hold the OEM clamp on. Anyway, I'm enjoying the exhaust.

Thanks for the information! Your not getting any annoying drone? That has been my concern. I was hoping the Ford/Borla partnership figured this out for the Raptor and Mustang.

Just claim it back with PayPal and order from Forged Offroad would be my suggestion.

Well, not today exactly but over the past week got my first experiences towing with the Raptor.View attachment 126718 First was an 18', 2800 lb R-pod, down to the SW Washington coast. Then a 21', 5K twin axle TT over to Lk Wenatchee State Park, which included 3 mountain passes. The highest was Blewett, at only 4100 feet, followed by Snoqualmie at just over 4000, so they're no Ike by any stretch, but for my first experience towing over a pass it wasn't too bad. Kept in the right lane, mostly 50-60 or so. OAT in the 70's with coolant maybe touching 220 and tranny touching 205 but quickly cooling into 210's/190's once I could get my foot back out of it. The 5K TT was probably a few hundred lbs over the non-WD towing limit, but it did OK. These were private-party rentals, so no time/facility to get a WD properly set up, but would definitely get one if I ever tow that much again just for better balance. I also run a JLT catch-can and with these tows and the previously accumulated mileage (guessing around 5K, I forgot to note when I last emptied it), I only had about 3tbsp in it, which was (good) surprising (see full comments/pics in the 'Best $139 I spent' thread).
