    Used the Raptor to tow home my 944 this weekend.

    Wow, very nice! I miss my 944! Seeing this brings back some good memories!

    Best replacement shackles

    I installed +2 Deavers with the RPG shackles and pretty sure they don't have a zerk on them, but will double-check when I get home. I hope they do because they are probably due for some grease, noticing some noises back there since our temperatures have gotten colder here in South Dakota.

    Gen 1 (2012) making odd "clatter/rattle over rough pavement (video)

    Glad you found it also! I will have my guys double check that on my truck. Will also look up a thread on here to see if anyone has put 3.0's on a Gen1 Scab and how they perform. The guys on this forum have really good information. I learn so much with every log in! :)

    Gen 1 (2012) making odd "clatter/rattle over rough pavement (video)

    Maybe "coachhomer" is on to something. I have replaced everything in my front end with new OEM, including Deavers & RPG Shackles in the rear and even new OEM tires. And I still get the short sharp clunks on the smaller bumps in the road. I am pretty convinced it is still in the OEM 2.5 shocks...

    GEN 1 New Fox 3.0 Shocks

    Thank-you John813, I guess I didn't know Fox made 3.0's for the Gen 1

    GEN 1 New Fox 3.0 Shocks

    I have a 2013 Scab and only do highway driving. I’ve been seeing a lot of good reports on the 3.0 but I thought it took some modifying to make the fronts a replacement for the stock 2.5. Would like to get a smoother ride over the stock shocks.

    That sounds like a great idea, especially if it improved the clunking. But I thought it took some serious customizing to make the 3.0's work on our 2013 trucks? I also inquired about the Icons but was told that they had noise issues also....but sound like one of the guys on this thread had good...

    Ok, I know everyone is burned out of the front suspension clunking topic, but I've got a head-scratcher here. I would call myself a non-off-roader, and with the truck at 90,000 miles, I was beginning to get some components wearing and was tired of some clunking going on. So I decided to do...

    Ford Raptor Rear Seat Release

    I have a 2013 Scab and curious if this will work on my truck, or if there is even any space behind there for maybe some tow straps, jumper cables, etc. so I don't have to keep all that stuff under the seat. Would like to add a sub which would pretty much keep me from having anything under the seat.

    Gen 2 OE rear shocks on gen 1

    Wow, what great information I found with this thread after I got the news that my rear left side stock shock on my 2013 scab had "zero" nitrogen, which explains the clunking I have been hearing lately. I had all 4 shocks rebuilt by reputable company 10 months & 6000 miles ago and the pressures...

    LED Replacement Lights For Bumper/Fender Marker Lights

    I appreciate the info...not a Recon fan, but I found another company that offers a set like you described and will order them. Hopefully they will fit better than the Recon. Thanks!

    Raptors in harsh winter climates!!

    CoronaRaptor mentioned a battery blanket, so curious if that was the black foam-type material that came out in pieces that was wrapped around the battery. If so, I will be replacing that battery and should probably replace that blanket also???
