Go to the one and only radio thread....Tons of info.... Eddie http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f12/one-only-radio-thread-34162/

Big Johnson, I've got about 25,000 miles on my 4.5 Deavers. I went through RPG and discussed my needs, and my principal use of the Raptor. I primarily drive on sand and high speed graded roads with about 600# in bed/cab. I have the RPG RST 16 rear suspension with Fox 3.0's up front. The...

Booth9999, Reading your post I was sure you were 16-17 years old....but you're 39! Do you really think that vendors here have nothing better to do than read every post looking to sell you a Pro Eagle Jack? And if one does respond do you really want to buy from someone trolling the forum...

Where in New England? CT to Maine, RI to VT...? Eddie

volfan615, You need to adjust the clamps that hold the rails to the bedside. The right side needs to be raised 1/16-1/8". Easy peasey! Eddie

Noah, Really? You should know better...you're never wrong! Yes MURS are 5 low power frequencies in the VHF radio. Legally you are limited to 5 watts transmitting power on these frequencies, and most,(All?), VHF radios that transmit on these frequencies are limited to low power. Most of...

Linehand, Air down? You need fatter tires! Just kidding. I grew up in Montauk and have driven thousands of miles in the sand. Generally the lower the pressure the better. Keep in mind that blowing a bead in sand sucks! I usually go down to about 20 or so. In the sand momentum is...

reaper1441, I bought my tank mount through Amazon...was cheaper 2 years ago... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002KC93MM/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 Eddie

Truckzor, The electric motor does not need a transmission. 100% torque from 0 to 10,000+ rpm. One could have direct drive to all four wheels. The limiting factor is battery technology. Or until we perfect Nikola Tesla's wireless technology.... Eddie

Darkside1k, Welcome! Dan from OZ...'BigKahuna' is in NH also. Back in the stone age a girlfriend in high school's family had a summer house in Weare. Love the White Mountains; my college roommate and I did a lot of skiing in the Mount Washington Valley. Tuckerman's Ravine; Wildcat; climbed...

BenBB, For some reason every time you post a picture all can see is a circled negative symbol... Eddie

Adam Ratatat, The bent frames occurred in the early years. There was a stamped frame hole that weakened the frame near the bumps. Landing from a jump/whoop with too much force resulted in the rear axle impacting the frame bumps and the frame rails compressing. The signature finding was the...

TxRaptor, The RPG drop shackles allow the use of longer leaf springs by moving the pivot point upwards. Longer spring packs allow a smoother ride, as well as more droop; which allows the rear tires to remain in contact with the road when travelling at speed over rough terrain/crawling over...

Agibson87, Where are you located? The south west is the hotbed of offroading, home of ORW, RPG, SVC, Outlaw Offroad, etc. I would contact one of these shops and ask if they have any take offs. Unfortunately the lower A-arms are stout, and unless you are determined to have twin shocks or...

ftboomer, Welcome. That smile gets bigger and deeper as time goes on, It's been 5 years with mine, 104,000+ miles and I still feel as happy as when I first picked it up... Good luck! Eddie

Nick11, You are doing EXACTLY what the Raptor was designed for. Keep up the good work! Eddie

bsimms89, There's a shop off of the Veterans Memorial Highway..West side RMS Offroad I talked with the owner a couple of times and he seems pretty level headed. Not sure if they rebuild, but they will be able to steer you to someone that will.. Also check motorcycle dealerships...I rode...

I wish him good luck in his new ventures, and am grateful for his insights that made the Raptor all it is... Eddie

I hope the bad is over, and you have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG trouble free future! Eddie

What he says ^^^^!!! Eddie

TXRaptor, I'm not sure about the difference in load from the stock Deavers. I would guess 2-300# extra capacity. Slightly firmer than stock but WAY more supple. Even 12" bumps/potholes are just a blip. I spoke with RPG and told them I would have about 600# in the bed when fully...

TXRaptor, The beauty of the Deavers is that they allow progressive movement with better control. Also you lose the 2" spacer block, so there is less polar torque which decreases the axle hop. I have the RPG RST 16" kit with bumpstops. Best thing is that they can be custom made to YOUR...

timbo33, You answered your own question... Eddie
