Good plan, and seems I'm not the only one who is thinking like you are. My 2011 6.2 does not have that many miles on her yet; with that kind of window (can remain 'undecided' until 3-4 years from now), might be time to put some $$ into her.....just wish there was a shop a little closer out here...

Hey Ruger....have you been able to fix the problem yet? I ran into a similar situation briefly where my USB thumb wasn't recognized [but it had been fine up until then]. In my case, just shut down truck and audio, started truck up, inserted USB drive...waited until the drive was finished (music...

I've got the factory rubber mat in my scab....not as thick as the factory one I had in my 2002 FX4 Lariat (scab also), but seems to be fine and others above found it to be pretty durable.

OK, I'll be different......I'd go with the matte black.....love that look on my bikes. OTOH, if I'm buying the desert tan-camo-type color, I'm takin' it a little further [credit to 6.2 for the pic in a Photoshop thread]....

:hail: Thank you, thank you! Brought my 2011 in for a small service a month or so ago....had honestly never seen the gear indicator before on the panel. Got the truck back, voila.....there it was. Here I'm thinkin' they updated something during the service.....when all they updated was my...

For the folks with the RPG stage 3 mods.......did you go with the STD or Heavy Duty leaf spring set. Planning on having the mid-perch done on the front and the RPG 3 on the rear.....did not realize the STD spring set drops the rear by up to 1.5 inches....would rather not lose rear height if I...

Glad everyone got out all right.....could have been more of a disaster than it already was. What a shame.....such a nice truck. Hope Hennessey jumps on this one real quick....although it may not be due to their modifications (benefit of the doubt), those pics are pretty damning.

Shell 93; every once in a while will run Chevron (91 or 93, can't remember which it is around here). In an emergency, as long as it is from one of the "top tier" sellers, that'll work in a pinch.

nos.....I think maybe you made a typo here or something? Not much point in converting a lossy mp3 format to a lossless format. AFAIK there's little, if anything, to gain from going in that direction?

There is.....AFAIK, it's only for charging and file transfer.....it's also used as the LINE IN for a microphone. 'Course I could transfer files to the HDD in the trucks, but they're FLAC and AFAIK the truck software won't support it :( 'Appreciate the questions, as I'm sure there's something...

Only thing you can alter on output settings (other than volume, etc.) is whether to output to "headphones" or use the unit's quite useless internal speaker.

So I finally tried out my iAudio J3 player [like an iPod for those not familiar with iAudio] in the truck yesterday, running it through the Sync Line-In. While there was sound and it was OK, it was nothing like I expected from this player [I've had it for over a year, sounds fantastic when...

Love it....also use it to dry off my bikes when I get caught in the rain.....does a nice job getting the water from between the cylinder fins. The one I have blows heated air, but it's not really necessary. It's actually too powerful IMHO, so you have to be careful not to get the hose too close...

I hear ya. I use something called a Black Baron (kind of like the Metro Blasters), but leaf blowers work well too. Sure makes washing the truck less of a "task". Don't worry, the OCD thing wears off after a while :)

"Spray glaze" looks interesting. Ever try a "waterless" car wash? Thread on waterless washes a while back. There's a few, I currently use Optimum No Rinse (ONR).....works like a charm but, as you mentioned with the stuff you use, it's for "in between" washes and for maintenance only. I was...

Curbs notwithstanding.......'been using 303 on my truck tires for years.....never liked the high gloss stuff that some folks like...303 leaves more of a satin-like sheen (I think that's what it's called?). 303 goes on nice (I use a small piece of a clean rag), tires "look" better (more uniform)...

Thanks Mike. I've got the Sonus product; will give it a try if I ever get the urge to try SG again [might give it a try on a sidewall in the box.....kind of use it as a "test bed" :). That said, the ease of the Blackfire product will spoil you. Since you've used SG for a while, 'be interesting...

Anyone here have their Raptor on a trickle charger? 'Asking since when the weather's nice, I'm on a bike most of the time when I can, and I've got the bikes on trickle chargers when I'm not [Pulsetech brand; these supposedly have a desulfation.....pulsing....cycle as well]......sometimes it's a...

Hey Mike.....just thought I'd throw in here. I use Klasse AIO all the time.....love that stuff, hard to make a mistake. Over the years tried a lot of other stuff [read "$$$$$$$$"]...both waxes and polymers [but not the Klasse SG....could never get the hang of that stuff]..... as a topper over...

Best way to "negotiate" is to not care whether or not you have it. After the first 6 months, they will often mail you stuff with a "special" offer (but don't count on it) like the $25 or so for 6 months (though mine was closer to $50....watch the pricing....they'll quote you on the phone, then...

+1 I'm not one for placing decals/stickers, etc. on my trucks, but would definitely do a FRF license plate frame [in the meantime, think I'll keep checking on those Fox ones!] ---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ---------- I don't get it.....a lot...

Late to the game, so I'll just reiterate what many have already noted. When I went to trade my '02 FX4 Lariat for my 2011 Raptor, I did due diligence and looked to see what a "same" trade would cost...i.e., 2011 FX4 Lariat (the equivalent, since I didn't see that exact model for 2011). Raptor...

:rotflmao: This is what I love about this board.....guys/gals with the ability to cut through the bs and focus on what's really important! [Great post TW]

I just put it in the center console on the tray that's in there. Bluetooth for phone works fine; I don't play music via bluetooth in the truck, so that's not an issue for me.
