    a/c not blowing out of right vents

    Lately, I’ve had an issue where sometimes when I start my truck the a/c blows out of the windshield and/or footwell vents. This, despite, it set to come out of the dash and working fine when I turned off the truck. It only happens sometimes though. I fiddle with the vent settings and after a...

    Oil filter gasket

    I changed the oil yesterday in my Raptor and everything seemed to go fine. But after a trip to and from the gym I noticed some oil leaking down from the oil filter (hard to say how much, maybe a few a tablespoons or so). So went to re-tighten the filter, although I was pretty sure I put it on...

    BFG KO2s or Nitto Trail Grapplers?

    I'm needing to replace my KOs and I've narrowed it down to Ko2s or Trail Grapplers. I realize one is an all-terrain an the other is a mud terrain tire and the latter weighs about 10 lbs more. I like looks of the Trail Grapplers but I'm a little worried about road noise, since it is a MT tire...

    Torquing LCA rearward nut - driver's side

    I'm trying to check torque on driver's side LCA nuts (not the lower shock nut). Front one wasn't a problem but how the hell do I get a torque wrench on the back one? The sway bar bolts block it so can't get to it, do I have partially remove it? There has got to be an easier way. If I try and...

    Something feels loose in front end

    Something in my front suspension feels loose to me, on the driver's side. I really feel and hear it when driving slowly (in my driveway, parking lots, going down my street). It sounds sort of like that dreaded front end clunk, but not very loud. I've hit the LCA from both sides with my...

    CV half shaft replacement

    One of my CV boots is torn apart and I figure that since I need to remove the axle to replace the boot I may as well just replace the entire thing, not just put on a new boot. In order to remove the axle, do I need to unbolt things like caliper, tie rod and coilover in order to get it out...

    WTB: Icon 3.0 coilovers and bypass

    I'm looking to upgrade to some used Icon 3.0 coilvers and bypass shocks. I'm located in Phoenix and the closer the better, shipping for 100+ pounds of hardware isn't inexpensive. Let me know if you've get some to sell, I'd prefer to buy all four at once but I'm willing to buy front and rear...

    Suspension upgrades - how does this look?

    I'm thinking about doing the following upgrades to my Raptor's suspension. Am I missing anything and/or do I have anything that I probably don't need? Icon stage 1 suspension - 3.0 coil overs and ZETA 3.0 bypass Upper control arms - either Alpha1 or RPG, still undecided Steering tie rod -...

    37s and not re-gearing?

    I'm planning to upgrade to 37s and am on the fence about re-gearing, I realize doing so will help regain the lost performance from going to a larger tire but would I really notice the difference if I don't do so? Everything under the hood is stock, so no engine mods to help enhance the power.

    Tone codes?

    I'm dropping off my Icom F5021 at a local shop for programming with the PCI Race Radio stock frequency list and the guy at the shop asked me about tone codes. I don't see it on the list and it is a new one to me. Is it something I"ll need to give him or is it not relevant for what we use the...

    Mid perch and clunk

    I had my shocks adjusted to mid perch a few months ago and around the same time I noticed they now clunk every time a go over just about every bump, especially at lower speeds. I even feel it through the floorboard. I know the shocks do make noises but this would seem a bit excessive to me...

    Does this set-up seem OK?

    Does this radio set-up seem OK? I need a radio for the Raptor Expedition runs but since I only expect to do a few a year I'm not looking for anything too serious or expensive. Does this set-up seem like it'll work for my needs? TH-9000 radio Laird Technologies B1443 antenna Larsen...

    VHF radio powered by cig lighter?

    I'm looking for a VHF radio that I can just plug into my lighter to power it. I need a 50w radio so the handheld types won't have enough power. I only want to have it in my truck for the few runs I do each year, so I'd just to be able to pop it into the lighter but I've only found ones that...

    Brand new Icon lower control arm skid plates

    I have a pair of brand new, never installed Icon lower control arm skid plates. I bought them earlier this year and never got around to putting them on my truck, now I've decided to just sell them. Everything that came with them is included, nothing is missing. I'm asking $350. I prefer...

    Achieving 406 ft/lbs on lower shock nut

    Easiest way to achieve 406 ft/lbs on lower shock nut? I'm going to be installing a pair of Icon LCA skid plates and they attach to the lower shock nut. What is the easiest way to get the required 406 ft/lbs? Would an impact wrench rated at 433 ft/lbs be too much for it? I'm sort of a noob...

    Snell M vs SA helmet

    I understand the difference between the two certifications, my question is do I need a SA helmet or would an M one suffice? I do some track days in my raptor and a helmet is required (they just want to see one on) and may wear it on some runs but I don't plan to do any racing in my Raptor or...

    Hood mounted lights

    I'm looking to mount some (spot) lights on my hood and I'm wondering if you think your Squadron XL or Fuego 35/50w would be better? I'm looking for max brightness and distance? Lastly, what are the advantages of the light you recommend over Vision X's 4.5" Cannon, which is a very popular (and...

    ADD Venom front bumper install question

    I'm in the process of installing my ADD Venom front bumper and I have a question about drilling holes in the frame. The instructions say to drill two holes on each side but then just use one per side. I just want to make sure I'm reading them correctly, they do seem to be pretty clear but it...

    Install Rigid 20" light bar

    I'm in the process of installing a Rigid 20" light bar wired to an upfitter switch. The included wiring harness has 3 separate leads - one would run to included switch, another is fuse and 3rd plugs into the light. Since I'm wiring into the upfitter do I just cut the wire which plugs into the...

    Suggested mods

    I've had my '12 Raptor for a couple months and I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm now thinking about spending ~$5K in mods to improve off-road performance. Any suggestions on which should be my first one(s).

    Scratched side steps

    One of my side steps is scratched down to the metal so I need to have it repaired. It looks like they're covered with bedliner so can I take it to Line-X or Rhinolinings and have them respray?
