Hey guys, anyone know how to tie a simple contact make/break switch (reeed switch) into the stock alarm? I have done this in the past to alarm various items. It’s great for trailers. A simple connector to the trailer that shorts on the trailer. If it’s disconnected the alarm sounds. I...

We race BITD and Brenthal is a well known company, very good builder of off-road race vehicles. Figures when i needed to get perch colars I went with their kit. Their kit differs from most on the market as it is a one-piece unit, meant for abuse. I like this design. You do have to remove the...

Anyone else have an issue when releasing the turn signal of accidentally clicking it in the other direction? Its so sensitive, if you release you tend to hit the "lane change" function on the opposite side.... --John

Lets start a thread here on those who have gone up to 37's. What spacers are you running? What tires/size? What wheels/size/offset? Are they rubbing? How much in a full turning lock on compression? What trimming did you do? --John

In case anyone else is looking for an Ignition switched power source, I found one so ill save you the work. Fuse 37 on the fuse panel in the pass footwell. Its at the bottom, 20A, and not used for anything. Wether there is a wire run out the load side of the fuse and taped up somewhere i...

Feel free to add your funny Raptor stories here. Here's mine. Took the raptor 4 wheeling today. Had a cooler in the back behind the drivers seat. I had picked up salsa on the way to 4 wheeling. Needless to say, after ripping around the dirt in Baja mode, I opened the cooler and the...

We have a trophylite race truck we race in SCORE and BITD (Wild Power Sports #6013) so having a VHF radio in my Raptor was a must. In my first gen, i mounted it overhead flush...super trick. Here's how I did it in the 2018 we just picked up. Looks factory. Aluminum with 3m carbon fiber wrap...

Just wanted to tell everyone, you *CAN* run tire chains on the raptor, with the stock or 35" tires. Im running General Red Label 35x12.5x17's. I went here: 35-12.5-17 Tire Chains And bought the ONORM DIAMOND chains. They are lower profile than the "normal" heavy truck chains I ran...

I would hope most of us realize this, but I'm amazed at how many off-roaders dont! A recovery strap is like a rubber band, it allows a smaller vehicle (or a vehicle with limited traction) to rescue a bigger vehicle by getting a running start and using the elastic action to pull a vehicle out...

So last night I get to this big rocky hill climb at the top of a mountain near Denver. I've gone up it at least 20 times over the year. I go to put it in 4 low and get the "shift delayed - pull forward". I try to pull forward and it's like the transfer case is in neutral. This has happened...

Wondering if anyone knows the tipping point of the raptor??? Let's assume a totally stock raptor with the stock tires and ride height. I'm thinking the tipping point would be around 38-40? Would be cool if a buzzer went off and the display warned you when you were getting close. Last...

Hey guys, I'll be making a trip out to the silver state 300 desert race may 1 to 3rd. I'm not sure there will be much wheeling involved but it's going to be fun! Brining the raptor and girlfriend. Anyone wants to join let me know. I'll prob drive out from Denver Thursday. Events start...

Hey guys, I'll be in Orlando all month (March) so if any of you want to hit some trails or just go grab beers let me know. I don't know too many spots out here to wheel' but the spot near sea world looks fun, didn't want to go that far in alone in case I got stuck. Also there is always Ocala...

Happens when you first start the truck. The home or info buttons on the nav don't work. You have to click on a corner, like go to the phone screen, then you can hit the home or info buttons at the bottom and they work Anyone else have this issue? This is on my 2014 Not the biggest deal...

After reading a post about a guy getting a divorce, Let's have some fun and do a wife vs raptor thread. Better to have around at 3am: Wife Comes with a warranty: Raptor Sucks the money out of you: Both Doesn't complain if you check out the blonde walking by: Raptor

Found this thing behind the pass side rear piller plastic interior panel What the heck is it? --john

Hey guys, I had seen a post here where someone mounted their VHF radio overhead at the end of the overhead console to the rear of the sunglass holder. Loved it. So I did it. When i started i took a lot of measurements, and I wasnt sure it would fit up there, but went for it anyways. Its...

I noticed an option for listening to music off an SD card on the entertainment section of my radio. However, the SD card slot in the console allready has a card in it, aparently its for the NAV. Remove it and i get a message to put it back in! Is there a second SD slot somewhere that i can...

Finally got a chance to take her off road! A few people I met down here told me of this area near sea world. Ground was super soft and didn't want to get stuck by myself so I didn't go too crazy. But, the suspension...wow. What a difference from my 2011 platinum.

Dealer installed the viper system, seems to only work about 25% of the time. I'm sure this is no fault of the dealer, it's the app in general. Has anyone tried the ford system with the iphone app? Wondering if it's any better. --job.

On the EXACT day my Raptor was scheduled to come in, I picked her up! Funny thing is mine came in almost 2 weeks early ahead of schedule! I was so excited, I Drove non-stop by myself from Denver, CO to Orlando, FL in 33 hours, only stopped for a few hours in the rest areas to sleep! The...

Well, ive seen a "whats your monthly payment" on the form and seen the lowest, some payed cash. So lets see the other way. Whats the highest payments anyone has here for their raptor? Im at $998, but only put 5K down (MSRP) and some minor body damage on my trade in... --John
