    Just Flew From Seattle to Chicago to Pick Up a 2014 Gen1 and Drive Back

    I didnt like the floaty front suspension on mine when I first got it either. I moved the front shocks up to the mid perch and it helped stiffen the front end and levelled it at the same time.

    Taller wheels w/lift or no lift

    I run 20” rims on my truck with stock suspension, no lift, but the front shocks are on the high perch. When I first got the truck it had 37s on it, and it was fine but looked like crap IMO. I went to a 35x1350 Nitto Ridge Grappler. The wider heavier tire knocked about 1mpg off fuel economy, but...

    GEN 2 List your camper/travel trailer info

    I don’t know about the Gen2, but my Gen1 tows my 31’ Dutchmen Travel Trailer great. 8000lbs of trailer weight with 1200lbs of hitch weight with the WD hitch. I added Firestone air bags to the rear, which are easily removable if I want to go off road, but are definitely recommended if harming...

    New Roof Rack

    I just installed the KC Hilites M rack, At first glance the metal on that rack looks thinner than the Mrack, probably why the Hooke rack have to use alot of angles. That one also sits higher than the Mrack also. My only complaint would be the same regardless of rack, when you add the front light...

    Prospective Raptor Owner

    I would stay away from a Raptor if you are going to continue hauling the 9k+ trailer. Raptor SCREW is only rated for 8k, and the softer rear suspension will cause real concern with hitch weight. I have a GEN 1 and haul about 7800 pound total with my RV. Truck pulls it great, but the bouncing in...

    Should I buy a lemon?

    It is hot or miss on buying a vehicle that is a dealer buy back. My wife’s last car was a great deal buy back that had to go to the shop every time she drive it. The real issue came when she had enough and wanted to trade it in. The car fax history reports a lemon/buy back etc. she got next to...

    GEN 2 2019 Overlanding Build

    I am in San Francisco right now, Looking to transfer in a few months. Thanks for this info, I looked on Amazon but wasn't sure what they called that to search for it. I just need the mounting piece to go to my 2" tube rack.

    Headers

    The Ford exhaust manifolds on these V8's are actually well designed and flow well. The HP gain is so small with header upgrades it almost isn't worth the cost. Especially if you already have a S/C. We also have a Roush Stage 3 Mustang also, and even Roush left the stock exhaust manifolds on the car.

    GEN 2 2019 Overlanding Build

    I have a similar set up on my Raptor. Only plus to being stationed in California is all the OHV camping areas. I have been looking for a way to attach my shovel to the rack like yours. Where did you get the quick releases for the tools?

    ADD Rack

    I have a rooftop tent I mount on the back of my truck for off the grid camping in some of the off road vehicle areas of the Southwest. My bed offroad rack was made by Hot Metal Fab in Sacremento, they sell on ebay and ship. The racks come as raw metal and you paint to suit. Couple of different...

    OK, I’m officially here!

    Not a typical Ford mod, but I put the Corsa Extreme on my '13. Love the sound and no droning at cruise. It is actually extremely quiet at cruise speed, but romp down on it and they will hear you coming two counties over. There is a great you tube video on the comparison that was put on a '13...

    GEN 2 Dealers, Warranties and TSBs...

    Might have to go to a Ford Dealer outside of CA. I transferred here 3 years ago and have never had the issues with Ford dealers back East like I do here. Can’t wait until summer of 21 to transfer out of here.
