    Tire chains..absolutely not, or just a precaution?

    It didn't take too long. I did it in about 2.5 hours, no assistant. The hardest part was drilling the two 5/8 holes through the bumper mount. I burned up one bit before I got smart an used some rapid-tap. After that it's just lining up the holes and bolting everything back down. Edit: I...

    Tire chains..absolutely not, or just a precaution?

    I never did get an answer out of my Ford dealership, but after looking at how close the upper control arm is to the tire, I think tire chains would be risking a bit too much damage. So I ordered a SDHQ winch mount and a 9.5cti winch and installed everything yesterday :peace:

    Tire chains..absolutely not, or just a precaution?

    Ok, I think I'm sold on the winch idea, that's really slick :waytogo: I also went in for an oil change on Saturday and asked the techs there. They didn't know the reason for the manual saying no tire chains so the manager said that he'll email SVT on Monday. If I hear anything I'll be sure...

I'm anticipating the roads being passable with no chains, but at 10,000' a storm can dump a couple feet of snow on you without much warning this time of year.

    As of 4/26/11 NO MORE 2011 Raptors can be Ordered with NAV

    I just got a call from my dealer- My order from 3/14 WON'T build with nav as of today. He's got one on the lot fully loaded that he wants to sell me today for about 1200 over invoice $50300k (we originally agreed on 1000 over invoice $48100 for my order) Is he blowing smoke up my ass about...
