    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    Some updates on the whole process of getting these factory shocks swapped. So I did end up ordering a new set from rock auto. For the crew cab raptor a new set of shocks cost $1,359. The packages came pretty beat up (the boxes are quite heavy of course) but the boxes inside the packages were...

    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    Yeah I moved from Central Oregon to Western Montana recently. @Jhollowell I have a friend in Bellingham that has a Gen 1. I'll let him know you are in the area

    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    @Gumby and @2slo4u I appreciate the wisdom (and the part numbers). I hadn't even considered that the shocks could be bought new, and for a reasonable cost. For a brief moment I considered just shelling for the 3.0s from SVC to round out the suspension upgrades :Big Laugh: be a lot cooler if I...

    General Advice for Factory Shock Service

    Hey all, The truck is a 2013 and just crossed 50k on the odometer. It's high time these shocks get serviced. I have some logistics questions about how best to accomplish this. I do have an open service request with Fox, and shocks themselves are in fantastic shape. I called a local shop I've...

    New Gen1 owner

    OP I have a set of '13 takeoff OEM bead locks that I won't be needing. Have you secured some already? What region are you located in?

    Who’s sold their Gen 1 during this market and hates the decision they made?

    I bought my truck in November 2020 and have been following the market ever since, mostly out of curiosity. I don't really plan on selling as I tend to keep my vehicles for the long haul. 2013 Terrain with 30k miles on it right now. Show me a truck that looks better dirty and I'll show you a...

    Raptor Gen 3 Buyers - Tonneau Covers and Bedliners

    One of my favorite accessories is my bed mat. Cargo doesn't shift, it protects the bed floor, and it's super easy to clean and reinstall. Who would a thought a 1/2 inch slab of rubber could shine so bright.

    Sell now or trade in later for Raptor R?

    Sell it now, buy a bitcoin, and you can buy two raptor R's by the time it comes out. All jokes aside resale values are ridiculous right now so it's worth considering a sale now if you don't need a truck for a good while.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Got the bubbles out! Plus some bonus stuff I've done since I bought it last November: 2 pairs of squadron SAE fogs, bedside molle panels, tonneau cover, and a t slot for the bed rails. Rack coming soon.

    What Do You Use Your Fogs For?

    I'm running two amber Squadron SAE fogs on one upfitter switch (15A). I do a lot of driving in the snow so I wanted good light output that I could just flip on and keep on. They give great visibility in ***** weather and they give fantastic fill at night. I'm saving the 10 Amp for a 3rd...

    New-to-me 2019: big bounces on concrete highway

    The truck sends information to the driver about what's under wheel. Certain sections of highway, like the concrete slabs you mentioned, can cause a high frequency oscillate in the suspension. The cab starts to resonate at specific velocities because the space between the dips in road syncs up...

    Purchasing a Raptor

    The offroad and performance mods could be considered a big plus. It does seem they installed quality stuff. Updated headlights is nice too for those early Gen 1's without the HIDs from factory. The knife cuts both ways tho! Almost certainly it was offroaded for some of it's 90k mile life. I can...
