    Gen 1 with 4 Auto (TOD)

    Also, I’ve never had an issue with the IWE but if I go with the 4A most of the time, is there any reason not to do the delete kit ?

    Gen 1 with 4 Auto (TOD)

    So looking to pull the trigger on this and looking at used TC. Anyone have either a good source or recommendations of things to look for (if I can find one local) best I have been able to find for used on eBay is around 150k miles (I only have 75k on my truck) and hate the idea of putting a...

    Gen 1 with 4 Auto (TOD)

    That is very interesting. Part of my motivation to do this was associated with my plan to supercharge the truck and not have to get traction bars (still planning on Deavers).

    Advice on this ‘14?

    As said before, check all the classic things first. I would assume unless you have another Raptor to compare, the assessment of the shocks are a little tough (as mine went, it just started riding/driving like a regular F150). Run the vents through all the possible configurations to see if the...

    GEN 1 SCabs with Sony - Replacing Sub

    @The Car Stereo Company , my bad. I have been reading dozens of stereo posts and missed this was for the SCAB. I have a SCREW. I made a box to mimic the Kicker 46HS10 (self powered) and it fit snugly with the cab backing still there so the “leap” of another 1 inch in depth with the material...

    Gen 1 with 4 Auto (TOD)

    Stepping into the “academics” of how the TOD works, curious what triggers the clutches engagement and its “percentage”. It would seem to me that TC would be the primary trigger for engagement, but “100%” clutch engagement would make me think you would at least get some feeing of the binding on...

    Just finished shock swap

    Update to this thread. I got my original shocks rebuilt by Forged a few months back. One of the fronts rebuilt by TSW was leaking within 5,000 (easy miles). They asked for a picture and never responded to multiple emails after I sent it. Forge suggested that the TSW may have been overfilled...

    GEN 1 SCabs with Sony - Replacing Sub

    That is the sub, not self powered, I’d have to bolt a separate amp beside it, behind the 2/3 seat. I guess my question is also, how well will a “downward facing” sub sound aimed at the metal panel of the back of the cab? I assumed I’d need the dynamat to keep it from reverberating and sounding...

    GEN 1 SCabs with Sony - Replacing Sub

    @The Car Stereo Company Ok, reviving this thread. I still have hopes of more underseat space with the “relocation” of the factory sub but I think this is the last option before I try something like @JefeAZ did. Any thoughts on if this...

    Gen 1 with 4 Auto (TOD)

    I was wondering something similar in the sense, will the TOD kick in while making that turn, engage the front axle and immediately begin binding ? I don’t see an issue in a straight line but could beat the crap out of the front end if you left it in TOD mode a lot (could engage it just by...

    GEN 1 Gen 1 Restoration Project / Cost Estimate help needed

    I would take a long weekend and disassemble the front end. Most shops end up having the insurance adjuster come back out after they have pulled the damaged parts off to redo the estimate for the things they couldn’t see initially. This would also allow you to really assess what could be reused...

    About to buy! Is this a good deal?

    I would spend the $300-$350 for a PPI. I’ve bought cars sight unseen, and paid for things that couldn’t be shown with pictures and a video test drive. I paid $40k for my 2014 Supercrew almost 4 years ago, original owner, with 40k miles. I would say as long as there is no real rust, that is a...

    Best time /place to buy full setup

    I am looking to swap all of my lights in one shot and was wondering who and maybe when is the best time/supplier to maybe get a deal/discount. I was looking for the Morimoto XB, all the Raptor specific markers in LED, rear tail lights swapped to LED, back up light on the license plate, puddle...
