I'll sum it up in one word: don't. If you just can't help yourself, then sell the Raptor and use the proceeds to buy a more suitable donor truck and the parts you want. Personally, I'd go with a regular cab F150 XL 5.0 short bed.

A stock 2013 SCRW with only 2400 (that's twenty-four HUNDRED) miles just sold on Bring A Trailer this week for $71,500.

I used to sell and install Nitto Terra Grapplers for years at the dealership I worked for. Good quality, good looking, good value; it was our best selling all-terrain tire. That said, it is not as "serious" an off-road tire as some others out there. But if your usage is biased heavily toward...

In addition to variables in the quality of the technicians, I would also be concerned over the source of your replacement window. If it's not OEM, then beware of aftermarket suppliers for your glass. Numerous variables in quality of materials and construction exist, and insurance companies...

Hey, same issue with my Roush system. I still have my OE resonator that I can splice in, too. Where is it most effective, in front of the muffler or behind it?

What exactly constitutes a "deal"? As already posted, pandemic has driven up prices and limited your choices. Of course, you could lower your standards and settle for some 2nd or 3rd tier brand like Milestar, Ironman, Federal, or Thunderer. But you aren't getting BFG, Goodyear, or Toyo...

Always appreciated Saturn's dent-resistant body panels....

Everyone likes clean air, but C.A.R.B. is damn government tyrrany on steroids. Won't be long until the only Raptor you can buy is electric.

As mentioned already, Badlands Off Road Park in Attica, Indiana is only 2.5 hours south of downtown Chicago. Lots of options including sand, mud, water, hills, rocks, and trails. Go easy the first time out. As you grow your experience, feel free to push your comfort zone a bit. Purchase a...

"Honey, I lost my wedding ring...sorry!" "How'd that happen?" "Well.........."
