    Sad times indeed!

    Our impact was clear of the frame. If the ball joint hadn't broken and the tire wasn't flat, we probably could have driven it out of the ditch and driven the less than 5 miles home. Yours looks like it was worse than ours. Was everybody OK?

    Sad times indeed!

    Driver was from Las Vegas. Probably taking the back way to avoid the traffic jam at the ****** River Bridge. If you folks have a line on a cheap SuperCrew we'd appreciate it. 2wd, blown motor, high mileage, don't mattter...we just need the cab to be straight and rustfree!

    Sad times indeed!

    Howdy all, we had a pretty bad afternoon last Sunday. About 1700 we were heading back from the Sweat Hills to our home less than 5 miles away. The sun was low, and visibility was getting bad. 65mph road going probably 60 started climbing a long straight and just got totally blinded, using the...

    GEN 1 New Gen 1 owner - What to know?

    We're at 90,000 miles now, got it with 65,000. Been pretttey trouble free. We got rebuilt shocks from Forged Offroad and couldn't be happier. Went with Stage one off road kit and flutter stack. Been perfect for Moab and such. Congrats on getting the best Gen.!

    Newbie with Gen1

    Welcome to the best color clan! We're originally from WI originally. So, we have some minor cancer to fix on the cab corners and pinch welds. We plan to do Cactus Gray on our rockers after the rust is eliminated. Also, plan on deleting the billboard graphics. More into being subtle, not that a...

    Hey all, happy to join you. This is my new to me 2013, 66k, F150 Raptor. Looking for recommendations on running boards and winch bumpers.

    Welcome to the clan. We have the SDHQ mount as well. Haven't installed it yet or even gotten a winch. Just wanted to make sure we had it in case they stopped making Gen 1 stuff. As some companies have already. Our truck didn't have running boards either. We wouldn't mind a stock set......

    Raptor Beer

    As a beer geek for the last 35 yrs. Black IPA is not a style, it's an oxymoron. India Pale Ale...... Black IPA would technically be a Stout.

    New hood graphics install Monday

    Our hood decal is looking a bit rough too. We're gonna get rid of all the damned billboards. A Raptor doesn't need all this "look at me" shit! They look so much better without all that black crap on them. There is a twin to ours around here w/out, looks sooo much better. To each is own.....

    Random Moab, Utah Pixs

    We just got back from there yesterday. Great trip. Got to really put the rebuilt shocks and new tires through their paces. Spent the evenings camping on BLM land.

    GEN 1 Bed power

    I have a house battery setup in our tool box. Working on getting the Redarc wired in. Right now I just keep charging the house batts at home. Where did you source the SS rivnuts and track?

    Anybody else add pinstripes to their Raptor??

    If your Raptor doesn't have pinstripes you don't deserve to have a Raptor!
