I didn't see any dedicated ground wire either, so I ran my own.


In the pin out thread for the aux switches it said the black wire is for ground? I am not sure if it is accurate or I misread it but it had the wire colors and switch positions laid out.

Pretty sure mine only had 6 wires, one for each aux. switch.

I never had a foam cannon until I got the Raptor. Makes washing easier for sure.

What are some good canons? Is there actually a good water hose canon out there? If I have to fire up and bring out a hose from my air compressor as well, it just half defeats the purpose.

Foam cannons are cool, I use a Torq from chemical guys, you really need a power washer to gain the largest benefits from them.

I have a Simoniz electric PW and got the same branded foam cannon. I think Simoniz is only available in Canada from Canadian Tire.

Anyway there’s a few good foam cannons out there. As mentioned, a PW will give you best results compared to just the garden hose.

I do understand sway bars. My 6.1 Hemi Jeep Unlimited has no sway bars and my RZR Turbo S has an electric disconnect rear sway bar (no front bar at all). I guess if they come out with an electric disconnect bar for the front I might be interested, but while I do a reasonable amount of off road in the Raptor, it still spends more time on road. But thanks for the videos and the information. I do agree that off road, it should be better on pot holes and such. For me the real limiting factor of the Raptor is the running boards and high centering even on my Scab. And of course, the width.

For sure it's a trade off. For those of us with more focus in off road with these off road trucks, sway bar off wins. I here you on the high siding, reason I don't have a 4 seat Can Am or Polaris, would get hung going on the trailer they are so long. But these would be evil if single cab 5.5 box trucks with the current rear suspension set up (leafs are for trailers and trees) and the width the same, imagine your rzr turbo with those big boots riding high at 54" wide? Sway bars reduce law suits on off road oriented vehicles. Especially Utvs. Just my opinion on this and my sway bar sits in the garage with brand new links for the next owner to put back on to roll the streets. It' like having a super hot girl friend but only wanting to hold her hand.....

That was on Storm Mountain Road between Loveland and Estes Park in Colorado. One difficult stretch but mostly moderate to easy trail. The section where the picture was taken looked way worse going up but definitely was way more sketch going down.
I live in the area but have never been on that road. I was thinking of taking the kids up there for some fun/site seeing and a picnic lunch. Do you foresee any issues tackling this on my own (stock 18 SCREW)?

Dropped in a Husky bed mat so I don't tear up the liner hauling stuff. Almost as good as OEM and over $100 cheaper.
