    Poll: Fog Light Damage

    I heard a grumble about lights that get mounted in the two front corner fog light pocket areas; that the front tires chuck rocks into the unprotected backside of the lights and damage the light wiring, heat sinks, or housings. I'm curious if this is a more common problem that may be going...

    Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

    Thanks for the reply. So, for the fog light kit you sell, you recommend not buying the BD Ford Upfitter wiring harness? Is that purpose built harness intentionally short for a different application? Sorry for the confusion, I just assumed the Ford upfitter harness was intended to be used on...

    Alternative Offroad Hood Mount Install Tips

    There are plenty of install threads, this is not another one. I recently finished installing the Alternative Offroad hood mounts and just wanted to share some tips that would have made the project infinitely easier. First off, I tried installing these many months ago. I followed the rules by...

    Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

    Hey Bailey, On the first page of this thread there are some complaints about a wiring harness being too short for the fog light kit. I'm assuming the problematic wiring harness mentioned was the included one. I noticed BD separately sells Ford Upfitter Wiring Harnesses as accessories. Are these...

    Raptor Embroidery's New Logo

    Thank you very much for the kind remarks, Calder. The feeling is mutual.

    New 2017 Raptor, New Section.

    +1. Although, exhaust notes typically suffer, and we know Raptor owners love thumpin. I'm interested to hear what the new platform sounds like through that beastly looking rear split dual. I'm sure it won't disappoint, but to compare it to the existing setups will be interesting.

    Man that looks mean! Interesting that they put corner lights directly in the fender.

    6.2 Exhaust advice-- Ford Racing, Borla, MF

    I had the same question the past month and did a ton of researching. It's very subjective, since it comes down to whether you like the sound. For me, I ended up with the FRP Sport. Of the people I talked to that had it on their personal trucks for extended periods of time, they said they had no...

    Hub Centric Aftermarket Wheels

    Does anyone know the tolerance to be considered hub-centric? For example, if a hub is 87mm, a wheel's bore must be within 'x' millimeters to be considered hub-centric.

    Hub Centric Aftermarket Wheels

    Nice. That's impressive to see a company working directly with the Raptor community to make built-to-spec hardware! SDHQ measured the bore diameter at 86.92mm. I'm no expert on what tolerance range is acceptable to make a wheel hub-centric, but that's good enough for me. Thanks for posting.

    Hub Centric Aftermarket Wheels

    That's what M64D said as well. Do you happen to know which ones are hub centric? I've scanned their site and can't find any documentation that mentions the bore diameter. I'm assuming the Series 12 is what you guys are referring to, but their spec sheet has no mention of bore diameter. Not...

    Got My FUEL TROPHY Wheels on today

    You don't need hub rings. With a bore of 87.1, the Fuel Trophy should be hub centric to the Raptor. ---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ---------- IDK what he got, but I would highly recommend not going below 0mm unless you intend to modify your...

    Hub Centric Aftermarket Wheels

    Thanks Nick! I can't believe how fast you respond. I now see what you are talking about. I would definitely be avoiding those Fuel wheels with the big UFO dish in the middle, and going for something more along the lines of the Trophy. Correct, the OEM beadlocks do have exposed lugs. When you...

    Hub Centric Aftermarket Wheels

    Don't the Ford beadlock wheels have closed lugs? I'm not too familiar with other Ford wheels, but I am looking more at aftermarket options for the sake of variety. By "all other Fuel wheels" do you mean everything other than the Trophy wheels? It doesn't seem like the Trophy wheels are double...

    Hub Centric Aftermarket Wheels

    I'm trying to find some aftermarket wheels that are hub centric. Just to confirm, if I can find a wheel that has a center bore of 87.1 it will automatically be hub centric on the Raptor, right? Specifically, I'm looking at the Fuel Trophy D552 17x8.5 which has a bore of 87.1, but I'm wondering...
