Guys, A long time ago I tried finding a clean/no-cut solution for this and got nowhere. A recent radio and GPS install got me back into the wiring on my truck. Instead of jumping the output of the upfitters relays (that appear under the dash) to the pass-though wire back out to the engine bay...

Last year I took my son and youngest brother out to this spot a buddy of mine suggested. He's been going there for years and it's not too far off highway 447. We had so much fun its now an annual trip and this was our second year going back. We pulled a small trailer in this year to take some...

No pics but there are plenty videos online to see. This is just a few tips on the instillation. 1997-2016 Ford F150 (For tailgate with OEM manual lock) The new F-150's have it so I figured it was a good add to my truck. Now I don't have to constantly check the tailgate to see if its...

People are horrible drivers. My truck was hit three times (lightly) within the first year I owned it. Two times it was a very minor swipe, like the "I don't know how wide my vehicle is" kind. Scrub marks on the outer ends of the bumpers. The third time it was a pretty significant dent in the...

A few times now I've been caught out in the rain or snow and had a full bed load with no way to keep things dry. I've tried tarps, plastic, etc. all with limited effect. I've been looking for something like this for a while and found it the other day while searching the internet. I almost had a...

About two months ago I had parked my truck one street over from my house (parking on my street can be tough for my big truck) and while it was there (in front of a church, parking lot across the street) someone tried to jam open my passenger front door handle and gain access to my truck. I load...

Some recent attempted break-ins on my Raptor have highlighted the deficiencies in the base alarm that came with my truck. After some research I decided to add the perimeter/shock sensor VSS, optional LED and extended range bi-directional antenna. My truck has remote start and the 4 button key...

I saw these LED's installed in a Raptor at the dealer service center (it had a slide-in camper) and thought they'd be handy for hooking up my trailer at night (when I'm late to the races) and when backing up in the dark. Here are the lights and harness I bought: Rigid D-Series Flood - flush...

A while back I bought a Corsa resonator delete pipe kit for my SuperCrew, PN 14758 for the 144" wheel base. When I fitted it up to the factory Y pipe and connected the factory muffler it was too short :-( The slots cut in the muffler inlet for expansion/contraction were not covered by the...

I've recently installed some Rigid LED's in the rear bumper and bought a Starkey harness for this exact purpose. It comes in SWB and LWB version for the F-150. I could have made the harness myself but for $120 it was worth it. Seems like most people tap off the b/u lights or the trailer harness...

On my '14 Raptor with Sync the way it handles my text messages is sort of strange. One, when I'm in my truck and get a text it notifies me three times. It also rarely displays the correct contact on who the text is from. Sometimes it displays a name of someone I haven't spoken to in years...

Before I drill the first hole just curious if anyone and drilled, cut or otherwise created holes in the bumpers. The chromed bumpers on my old '95 Ranger were tough/hard. I'm installing some Rigid flush-mount LED floods and connecting them to the back up lights with a Starkey harness. My plan...

So I drove my buddies Hellcat the other day (holy crap!) and it reminded me of how quite my Raptor is so its time to do something with the exhaust. I'm pretty much set on SW, either the Lighting system with factory connect or the full-boogie headers and dump system. I've read under normal...

Just ordered a Roush set up but forgot about Banks. I like these two kits the best but not sure I like all the advertising on the Banks. Has anyone ever compared the two side by side? I don't hear a lot about the Banks but I have to think those guys know what they are doing. I've had good...

I am considering a front light bar and looking at 8" HID's. The KC Rally 800 and Hella Rallye 4000i Xenon are my choices. I have found the OE Ford Performance KC HiLites much cheaper though. They appear to be similar from the ones on the KC web site but a lot cheaper? Ford wants $954 for a set...

This is my first mod on my '14 Raptor. I read a lot of reviews online about the quality and ease of install on these Recon bits and was somewhat skeptical. I figured I'd try these out and if disappointed return or resell them. These are made in China so the quality is on par with price...

I see these on eBay and wonder if they could be adapted to the Raptor? I'm wondering how thick they are and what dimensions the lighted plate is. My thoughts were to remove that section from the Mustang plate and then mill out a space for them in the Raptor sill plates. The ones from Recon look...

So I saw these on a truck while I was driving through a parking garage in SoCal. I really like the look of this set up and the flush fit of the fog lights. Not sure how well they really work so I am hoping someone knows where I can find out more. I want to add some fog lights to my truck but I...

Hello, Just bought a 2014 Raptor and there are no Raptor specific manuals or booklets included with the factory owner's manual, quick ref guide, etc. I've seen older one that include SVT/Raptor specific stuff. Do I not get this with a 2014 or did the dealer get me the wrong (F-150 only)...

I needed to replace my aging (1995 LOL) Ford Ranger. Dealer up North had this on the lot. Made a deal and drove it home. Yeah I know the new 2015 alum body, Eco-boost, whatever it will be hits Detroit next month (rumored) but I couldn't wait. Besides - no replacement for displacement right...
