    Smashed LCA mount

    So I guess I hit a rock with the front of the passenger side LCA mount. The boxed in portion of the frame is pushed back against the bushing and it squeals like a baby in scalding water. Any advice on opening the box back up? Driver side: Passenger side: Passenger side from underneath:

    Custom bumpers in San Diego?

    I am in San Diego until Thursday night and would love to see a few custom bumpers if you guys are close enough. I am in the market not many east coast Raptors have replaced theirs. I have seen offerings from ADD but that's about it. Anyone up for a San Diego meet for coffee?

    Baofeng or ETekCity UV-5R programming instructions

    I have been helping several people over Facebook and figured it would be easier just to document the steps here for getting your Windows 7 or newer computer set up to program the UV-5R. This is a super cheap radio sold under two brand names: Baofeng and ETekCity. Both carry the same model number...

    Covert rack installed

    Made the trip this morning up to New Jersey. Not sure why anyone would live there on purpose but that's another thread. Anyway, khcdave and Joe installed the rack, mounted the powertank and jack, and put in the bed stabilizers. Of course I had to take it all back out when I got home to put my...

    On the Screw the jack is under the storage cubby, on the passenger side of the truck. On the driver side of that same space is something else. Anyone know what that is?

    Radio programming information

    So I want to start a thread for 2 reasons: First, I can't find the info anywhere else. Second, I know I can not be the only guy that is lost... I see freqs posted for various rides. Some radios can be set up from the radio, others require programming through a computer. What I am hoping to do...

    Stubby doesn't fit. Sending it back.

    Despite the reception issue complaints I took a chance on the stubby antenna. I got it in the mail today and according to the box and website I got the right model. The website indicates the part number is CRFF-0035-FO but the box only shows CRFF-0035. I assume that is the same thing. I pulled...

    Not happy with Ford - Where is owner loyalty reward?

    I have a pretty long personal history with Ford. Two Rangers, 4 F-150s, an Explorer, Edge and Escape. All purchased new. This year I bought my Raptor in January, and my wife's Escape in May. Yesterday, for the third time, I got a notice for special owner loyalty incentives 3-4 weeks AFTER I...

    5Star - what to buy?

    Yes, I used the search. 15 minutes of looking is my limit. So when you order the tuner you have to fill out this form. My questions are, is this the right tuner, and what should I be asking for in the form? I understand what a tuner does but beyond that I don't have a clue. What am I after...

    Questions for Adams

    I see you have listed that you are attending the Ford Nationals in Carlisle 7-9 June. Is that for vending only or will you offer any clinics? Second question. Do you offer any flexibility on your kits? I like the ultimate machine kit but it has a few things I don't want. The cost of parting...
