    Towing

    Lol yeah you'd be surprised what a well built X can do. Plus its paid off and cheaper to repair than the Raptor. It's not built for the same thing either. Raptor for fast and X for crawling. Once the Raptor is paid off the wife will get somethin New and I'll inherit the Raptor. Then I'll get to...

    Need new motor at 8K miles! WTF!??

    No I don't think they would have had to pull it had they done the right thing first. This is just like when I broke my locker in the Raptor. I told them that " it feels like my locker is not disengaging" when I took it in. 2 weeks later, and after replacing an ABS sensor and the Body Control...

    Need new motor at 8K miles! WTF!??

    Yeah its just that coupled with the other problems Im just having issues coping. The whole reason I gave up on GM is because I had a Pontiac that blew a motor at 65k and I owned a Chevy Colorado for 1 year and put over 2 grand in repairs in it. It was mostly electronics but I never had to do...

    Need new motor at 8K miles! WTF!??

    Well it turns out that the dealership was a little overzealous with thier first analysis. After they pulled the motor and the head they found that one of the valve springs had broken in half. It didnt cause any damage to the block or piston however the valve itself was a little tweaked...

    February 2013 FRF Raptor of the Month Contest ****RAPTOR SNOW ANGELS****

    This is the precursor to the one with the jeep in it. If you look really close you can see a dark spot in that snow blast. Thats my Raptor busting a 3 ft snow bank. Heres the story. We have an ice track plowed on the pond in front of our off road clubs clubhouse and we were having a...

    February 2013 FRF Raptor of the Month Contest ****RAPTOR SNOW ANGELS****

    I dont have many. My wife never lets me take the Raptor out. Shes not too keen on my "aggressive" driving style. Notice her sticking her head out the window and laughing at me trying to dig it out of the snow bank.

    Lower grill from stock bumper

    Anyone got thier stock bumper still laying around. I plowed through a snowbank today and broke the clips on my lower grill that is behind the license plate bracket. If anyone has one left Id be interested in taking it off your hands.

    Raptor #8 on Top 25 Ford F-series

    Agreed. Also, the F650 in spot number 22 was never in Transformers. Ironhide was a GMC. Obvious lack of research.

    Lol. I feel that a key piece of information has been omitted that you may want to consider before recommending that course of action. My wife is asian. She may literally :pokeowned: Otherwise I looked into the recon and the retrofit and the retrofit is just too much for the budget. I...

    Lighting Guide. Choose the Best Lighting for You

    So all that is why the projector headlights with LED bulbs are better than pure white bulbs in stock headlights correct. I just gotta make sure I can understand it cuz my wife will think of questions I could never imagine. Shes not completely against it but Ive got to justify the cost.
