Hello all Id really appreciate some suggestions on a problem I'm having with my 2012 Raptor. I get a low volume rattle- a bit like pebbles in a can- when turning to the RHS. The noise seems to be coming from the left front end. It is not loud but is very consistent. I don't get it turning...

I've imported 2 raptors to the UAE from the US. The first was a 2010 SCAB that I bought on exporttrader.com. It was fantastic- arrived in showroom condition and went like a missile. I bought it in 2011 for $43k, plus $800 to ship it from New Jersey ( I don;t know where the earlier poster got...

Thanks- I will try them out. I went to see Robbies last week- they are doing bulk jobs of bumpers and swing-out tyre carriers for the military- batches of 20 or so. They looked pretty robust so thanks for the headsup.

thanks- looks really good- but it looks to be a roll up cover so I might have to bite the bullet and buy another, I guess. Do you rate saluki? I had started talking with Robbies. I'm pretty wary of most providers out here...

Has anybody come up with a definitive way of combining a bed rack with a tomneaur cover? I have the Bakflip F1 and am tryin to come up with a way of building a bedrack/frame above the bed to carry stuff like maxtraxx, jerries, RTT... I think this is a regular topic- thee have been some great...

Thanks-mounted on top of the bakflip, with the fitting mounted on the rail behind the cab?

Has anyone built/bought/seen a good solution for carrying bikes? I have a Bakflip F1 and am always trying to work out the best way to carry my road bikes without scratching them up, or messing up the interior in my cab. Any advice much appreciated!

Hi Jason, emailed you and Ryan and also whatsapped him about tires and also the IWE eliminators but no repies after several weeks. Can you let me know if yo uguys are still in business? Rory

This sounds a lot like theproblem that I had last year. In the end we swapped out the differential- I was sceptical as there was no obvious damage there, but we had already done the IWEs, axles and were down to the diff or the transfer case. We tried the diff and it has been good ever since...

Replaced the PS pump and fluid- it's smooth, easy and perfect again. Time to try to find something else to break! thanks for the help... rory

Thanks- the truck is an import from the US (i am in Dubai) so the dealership has no interest. In any case, I think there is a bit mkore knowledge on this forum than in the local setup.

Sounds pretty definite. Thanks! Is there anything else we ought to replace while we are switching this out?

The IWE hub actuator- it is the springloaded device that sits on the end of the axle and which inserts into the IWE hub assembly. Ie- there are two parts to the 4WD activation mechanism- the bit that goes on the axle, and the (larger) bit that this connects with and which sits outside the main...

To the OP- I have now been through a lot (maybe 5) IWEs over a few years of hard driving in deep sand. My most recent switch was last week after probably 12 months of regular, hard, desert driving and a few big trips. Your experience is exactly what I have gone through- the IWE fails to engage...

Hi, I have a 2012 SCAB with lots of mods including a PSS reservoir and PS cooler. My steering has just started to get intermittently stiff; the steering makes a loud whine when turning, and if I increase revs during the turn the whine is much louder, but the stiffness reduces. I have...
