    Engine Sound ***Just in ***

    I didn't realize until this video that the front grille stays in place with the hood up. I kinda like having the grille lift with the hood so I can clean the radiator fins more easily. Seems like the new design makes it harder to reach inside the engine bay. Sound isn't bad, but there's no...

    New BFG T/A KO2

    I usually run about 40psi and find the KO2s to be much quieter than the KOs. Are you rotating them frequently? Properly balanced? They also tend to get noisier as they wear down. My KOs probably could have gone to about 45k miles, but decided to changed them at 36k miles because they were...

    New BFG T/A KO2

    Got 'em installed this morning. I am really surprised at how much quieter they are from the KOs. I know the KOs had some miles on them and that made them louder, but still, these KO2s are noticeably quieter. I like the aggressive side walls and have always been happy with their tread. Guys at...

    New BFG T/A KO2

    Like I posted previously, I've owned over a dozen sets of KOs throughout the past 20 years on various trucks and Jeeps and never got more than 40k miles out of a set. I don't consider myself an aggressive driver, but am a weekend warrior when it comes to off-road stuff. Nothing major, but lots...

    New BFG T/A KO2

    I just ordered from 4WP a set of four in the 315/70R17 flavor. I'm keeping my stock KO as a spare since it's never touched the ground. My stock tires have about 36k miles on them, and although they still have a couple thousand more miles left in them, they are getting loud and vibrating a lot...

    When can we order one already?!

    The Screws are being delayed because they will have the Ecoboost V-8.

    Can you turn off the TPMS?

    Black electrical tape over the (!) symbol on the dash.

    radiator broke

    Yes. They replaced the entire radiator assembly. I was impressed. Seemed like a lot of work, but I didn't think the reservoir separated from the radiator housing. I thought they were all one piece.

    radiator broke

    Just got my truck back and they put a brand new cap on. They told me they did that for every radiator swap. Looks new. They cleaned everything up really nicely. Looks new.

    radiator broke

    Is there a recommended cap? Blue anodized billet aluminum with Raptor logo perhaps?

    K02's or KM2's??? That's The Question.

    I saw that in the other thread. I'll try to make it, but it's tax season and I'm slammed. If it were April 20, I'd be all over it. Thanks for the invite.

    radiator broke

    Reviving an old thread here... Was changing my oil earlier this week and noticed I had a coolant leak. It wasn't bad, but definitely leaking. I never noticed because the coolant was collecting on the skid plate and not dripping onto the pavement until I moved the truck. I couldn't find the...

    K02's or KM2's??? That's The Question.

    ^^^ Yeah. I really loved my KM2s on my Jeeps. They are really bad-ass tires. For the limited amount of snow we get here in Raleigh, NC, they should be fine. However, I had my Jeep with 35" KM2s on it when we lived in Toronto for 2 years and it was brutal driving around town. Lots of fun in...

    K02's or KM2's??? That's The Question.

    It's a very humbling feeling when there's a light dusting of snow and ice and conditions are generally miserable and your big-ass $60k race truck with 35" bad-ass aggressive mud-terrains is slipping all over the road and the Prius next to you is moving along just fine.

    K02's or KM2's??? That's The Question.

    I've owned both several times and used them on all types of terrains. My experience is similar to what you'd find online anywhere. KM2s: (Mud-terrain tires): Off-road-ability: In off-road deep snow and mud, they're great, because the large lugs clean themselves easily. Great on loose...

    12V switch for radar detector on rear view mirror

    See this thread and read post #113. I also have pictures past that post through the end of the thread. PM me if you have any questions. Easy install if you know how to solder.

    So... What do you think about the new Raptor?

    Looks like you could probably stuff 37s in there without trimming.

    So... What do you think about the new Raptor?

    You're right. Tires look small on the screw. Front's not bad, but the rear just doesn't look proportional.
