I am seriously considering disabling IWE system once we get to island resort and casino. Leaving the hubs locked during the SnoBall 500 and reenabling it for the drive home..

Does anyone make manual locking hubs for the raptor? Seems like it would be a good upgrade.

 

[Squatting Dog]

Nope.. I called and emailed warn.. They do not think there is not enough market to justify designing manual hubs for f150/raptor. Customers want the convenience and fuel savings of fully automatic (iwe) hubs and have not seen enough failures to warrant redesign. "our IWE system meets and exceeds Ford Motor Company's design and reliability standards"

I say ********, but whatever..

So how does it work exactly, I'm not to familiar with f150's

My ranger is live axle so everything is moving all the time, when I put it in 4x all it does is engage at the transfer case. I'm guessing the raptor isn't like that.

Didn't you say you had a set of tire chains for your stock tires? Wanna trade?

 

[Netix]

my stocks were 35" and the chains are up north dammit at my house, i dont think ill get to go up there but damn i so should..
i got a buyer for my old rims and tires
and a buyer for front oem shocks....
i should sell that so i get more cash for the trip lmao


now chains will be useless on the mud grapplers cause the chains will just go into the deep wide voids in the tire
