    Parting is such sweet sorrow...

    So I've been told by my Condo Owner's Association that my truck is too long, and I have to park it in the 8th floor of the parking garage. :flipthebird: I guess I could fight this, I mean, my car is just fine in my parking spot. But it would be expensive and I will likely lose. I knew moving...

    Drain tubes for Bakflip - where do they go?

    My wife installed my Bakflip for me. Bless her. The only thing she couldn't figure out was where to route the drain tubes. I checked in there myself and couldn't find anywhere to put them through short of drilling two holes. Thoughts?

    Best bed storage container

    Whats the best bed storage container for the Raptor? I'm looking for something that will fit snug on the back of the bed but not be high enough to interfere with a Rollbak or Backflip tonneau cover. Not one of those boxes that hangs of the sides.

    Kawai GM-12 Baby Grand Piano

    Yes, every Raptor owner needs one of these. It may even fit in the truck bed. I'm moving from a house to an apartment, and this just can't come along. $6,500. Price if firm. This needs to go. This requires professional disassembly and transportation. Cost of this is responsibility...

    Mild groaning noises when turning

    I've started to notice some mild groaning noises coming from somewhere in the lower rear of the truck when I take sharp turns at slow speed, like when parking. It's hard to pinpoint, but I am guessing it might be suspension related. I'm approaching 40000 miles, so I am wondering what shock...

    Coastal Tech Lockpick dip switch settings?

    Anyone have this that can confirm the dip switch settings? Not sure why plain English instructions are confusing me. I have a 2013 with backup camera but no front camera. I bought the front camera and I THINK the switch 1 and 3 are supposed to be on, vehicle select to 0. Just wanted to...

    Boot came off

    The boot over the CV joint? slipped off the clamp. Front left wheel. Doesn't looked ripped or anything. But I did have mid perch done a few months back. Is this a big deal?

    Mickey Thompson Sidebiter II wheels (5)

    Pics/specs in my sig/profile. 17", satin black, center caps plastidipped black. I love these wheels, love the look on the truck. 0" offset makes tires stick out about 1 1/2" on each side. I love the stance, but I can't fit through my favorite car wash tunnel anymore. Going back to stock...

    AC out and moisture in the passenger footwell

    My AC went out (again) and this time my wife noticed some moisture in the passenger footwell, below the glove compartment. Could these be related? I recall reading a thread about water in the footwell having to do with something clogged, but I can't find the thread again. Any ideas?

    Changing global spark on SVC tune

    I'm debating whether to change the global spark setting on my SVC tune. Here in Tampa we don't have 91 octane. We have 87, 89 and 93. I use 93. The SVC tune is designed for 91, so they recommend -4 if you'll use 87 and -2 if you use 89. So should I be changing the setting to +2 if I use...

    New voltmeter gauge

    I'm going to install a voltmeter gauge. Is any switched power source good enough or is there a specific spot I need to connect this gauge to?

    Whistling noise when driving 4x4 high?

    So I tried the 4x4 high and it seemed to engage, but I noticed a very very faint "whistling" noise, is the best way I could describe it. Like a very soft friction high pitched, low volume sound. Very faint. Just wondering if that was normal doing 50mph on 4x4 high.

    My AC died on me again

    I've been having an intermittent problem where my AC just dies. It just shuts off. The controls don't change, the blower just stops blowing, period. I thought it could be the blower resistor, so I swapped it, but since it was intermittent and not reproducible, I just had to cross my...

    What's the trick to reinstall the two front bumper covers?

    So I pried them off easy, but they don't seem to want to go back on. I see the four plastic tabs, so I try putting the cover back on from the top, and then use a thin screwdriver to make sure the bottom tabs fold forward, but they won't catch. Any wisdom to share with me?

    My interior by Raptor Embroidery

    So it all started with a pair of domed red claw emblems I got from eBay. One for the steering wheel and one for the tailgate. I then came across the Raptor Embroidery thread, and saw the excellent center console lids Calder was making. So I sent mine in. I got back this. Excellent...

    Removing rubber shroud in front grille

    When installing the front grill lights, there is a rubber curtain or shroud on each side of the radiator. It is held in place with some Phillips head screws that expand. How do you remove those screws? I tried turning them with a Phillips screwdriver but they just turn and turn. I'm sure...

    GPS tracking of your vehicle

    Anyone install one of these systems? Can you recommend one? Liveviewgps.com seems like a good one, but $30-40 a month seems steep. But you get a lot. Wondering what other alternatives are out there. I want to know where my a Raptor is at all times, get a text if it moves, and be able to...

    5 stock wheels and tires off 2013 Raptor

    I have 5 stock wheels and tires off my 2013 Raptor. 4 tires have 32K miles, the spare I'm assuming has none (I bought the truck with 26K miles, so I don't know if the previous owner used it or not). Tires have decent thread left, but so have 32K miles on them. Wheels look good but also show...
