    Old member w/ newer 2019 SCEW. Mod's complete

    Dunno. Looks like something I would see on the next episode of Narcos or something. Lol. Too flashy for my liking, but then again, I guess you can say I've done something similar with my truck, but in lightning blue. lol. Question: How are you liking the Morimoto lights? I've read al ot of...

    New rim and tire combo

    I like 'em! (but then again, I'm an old buck with 22's on my Little Blue Mule. lol (although it's been in the shop going on 2 months now with the "Raptor Flu" (Cam Phaser issue), and I am not happy. I want my truck back stat!))

    GEN 2 Buy back from Ford

    My 2017 Raptor has been in the shop going on a month now for Cam Phaser issues as well. My service rep told me it's a common issue with F-150s, which is why the parts are on backorder. She told me to expect two months or so for the repair to be complete. Luckily, I was able to get my truck in...

    Raptor Assault 2019 11-15

    I went in 2017. It was awesome. Best experience ever, as well as eye-opening as to what can be done with the truck. The Raptor can pretty much climb walls. lol. Alas, currently, I've been without my truck for close to a month now and going through withdrawals (the Expedition rental I'm in...

    GEN 2 Seriously Built Raptor

    If it was SVC out of Lake Forest, that's one badass company. I've done several mods through them, and I've benn extremely happy with the results.

    Exhaust help

    I have a MagnaFlow exhaust and lovin' it, especially in Sport mode with the Pedal Commander activated. It is loud, but.... it's awesome. Highly recommend.

    Issues with MPH Reading Using Waze in SYNC 3......

    Yup, same issue here. I just got used to it. Sometimes, technology ain't perfect.

    GEN 2 These will sell like hot cakes-Hyundais Weapon Against the Raptor

    Yeah, so, um......Not concerned. I do expect many of those Hyundai vehicles to be purchased by Molly Maid and other service industry providers tho.....

    The more I read the more I get scared...

    2017 Raptor owner over here and have absolutely loved it. In fact, it's been in the shop less than any other vehicle I've owned during the same timeframe (Porsche, BMW). And.... It's just so fricken' fun to drive. From now on, I will always own a Raptor. Tight parking spot. #NailedIt

    Headlights Always On

    Wow. Next up: "Why do my windshield wipers function on their own in the rain? Paranormal activity? Is my truck possessed?" (lol. Sorry, but.....ask silly questions, get silly responses... ;))

    AFE Quantum power scoop is it worth it ?

    I have a CAI, upgraded intercooler, Magnaflo exhuast, Pedal Commander, and upgraded suspension. The truck is definitely faster than stock, so much so that I had to get aftermarket brakes and calipers as well to slow it down quickly enough when throttling it off of the line. And.... I still...

    Rando thoughts brought on by C8 Corvette

    So here's my thing: I'm in the market as well for a 2020 911 (might wait until the turbo comes out because the spy photos are ridiculous). Price isn't so much an issue as is comfort and AWD access which the 911 will offer, and which the C8 does not (although admittedly, I do not know if a...

    2019 Ford F-150 Raptor Stage 2 Support Now Available

    Not through Cobb, but I did have an aftermarket I/C installed behind the grill, and since then, I noticed that the AC isn't cooling enough unless I disengage the auto shut off switch each time I use the AC. Once disengaged, the AC works just fine. Not sure if that's related, but I thought...

    ****** in an Infinity Qx70 got an education in Raptor performance this morning.

    Question: What is the best mode to jump the truck the fastest off the line? Currently, if I'm feeling like somebody wants to get the jump on me, and it's relatively "safe" to play for a brief moment, I switch it to AWD, Sport mode and the Pedal Commander on Sport Plus. That usually does the...
