I've pretty much decided on a dove tail rear bumper, but I have some beautiful Borla tips in the stock position. I have a very bad feeling that the stock position tips, however nice they are, will look somewhere beyond ridiculous with a dove tailed rear. Has anyone been bold enough to post...

Of all the aftermarket upgrades I have considered and done, finding a rear bumper has been the most difficult. I have been looking for a rear bumper for the last two years, always waiting for one that really caught my eye. I have the following concerns: Like it to be as light weight as...

When ordering the RPG Raceline Front Bumper I was told there was a 4 week lead time. FOUR WEEKS!!! So I've got to occupy some of this waiting time. Without the stock bumper which sort of covers the view of the front suspension, I decided to take this time to add a little RPG touch. Went to...

After thinking about GM's possible intro into the "super street" truck race with the Cheyenne, why can't Ford answer? My thought: Alternate the SVT trucks in a 4 or 5 year rotation between the Raptor and the Lightning. Ford needs to close the market on street trucks like they did with the...

Finally got a custom billet aluminum license plate frame for my Raptor. I've been trying to get this for the last two years. Finally it's here: It has been powder coated black and then etched. Here is one that they made for my Challenger that was traded in for my Raptor:

With my stock LCA's there were 3 1/2 turns lock to lock, or 1/3/4 turns from neutral to right or left. After the installation of the RPG LCA's there is 2 3/4 turns lock to lock, or 1 3/8 turns from neutral to right or left. Tighter areas will require a little more skill to negotiate...

My Raptor with just less than 21,000 miles had a transmission problem that ultimately left me with 3 gears: 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I took it to the dealership where the problem was solved. Below is an account: Transmission tech wrote: "Verified check engine light was on. Scanned for codes found...

This morning when making a left turn through an intersection after the stop light, the truck hesitated for about 3 seconds, or so, in what I would guess was 2nd gear. This follows last week's "stuck in first gear" event. (Which was temporary and hasn't happened since) Computer question: If I...

I own a 2011 Raptor. Today after driving about 3 miles, after leaving a stop light the Raptor failed to shift out of first gear. I pulled to the side of the road, but didn't turn off the motor. Pushed the tow/haul button on and then off (I can't believe that did anything, but maybe). The Raptor...

(I have posted this modification in the Vendors Forum. Please excuse the repetition for those who have already read that thread) I recently ordered raw aluminum grill letters from Custom Truck Shop. It was my hope to create a more aggressive looking grill that wasn't too "in your face". As we...

As you know the Raptor comes with three LED's at the top of the grill. I had seen where someone in town had added four OEM LED lights to the bottom of the grill. I sought to go a slightly different direction and added two OEM LED's to the top of the grill, outside the stock three. Lack of...

Today I took my grill to the shop to get two more OEM LED grill lights installed while they Line-X'ed the raw aluminum grill letters I had received from Custom Truck Shop. I used 4mm by 25mm hex head bolts to attach them to the grill, while it was off the truck. By the time I got it home the...

In October 2011 I received my minimal optioned Raptor. Recently I have noticed that, what seems to be, the passenger door speaker distorting on some low notes at less than half volume. Are the stock speakers of poor quality, to the point that they last only about a year when run at average...

If someone has the RPG Stage 4+ system: What is the least expensive method of accommodating 37" tires with no risk of rubbing or hitting? What is the best method of accommodating 37" tires with no risk of rubbing or hitting?

When I bought a big truck (and I believe the Raptor is a Big Truck), I was expecting a big horn sound. Isn't what I expected. When I was getting my RPG Race Line UCA installed, I checked out the air horns they had on display. So today I remedied the less than loud stock horn with a Kleinn...

Thanks to RPG and their great upgrades. I had the RPG Suspension Stage 4+ and the Steering Tie Rods for the last six months. Finally finances were in order to get the "missing suspension piece" the 1.5 Race Line UCA. I had them installed on Tuesday. It took a call to Corey (too early in the...

What aftermarket wheel looks like it was made just for the Raptor? It's gotta be the Method Standards (or Double Standards).

Just got my Method Standards installed on my Raptor today. I have chrome lug nuts at this time, but I'm wondering what the thoughts are of the FRF members on chrome vs black lug nuts on Method Standards. All opinions are welcome and pics too

Isn't it a true sign of brand recognition when someone is mentioning Stage 3 (which could mean most anything to a non-FRF member), and everyone of the FRF members knows that it is RPG's Stage 3 that is meant? Congratulation Jarret and Corey!

Has anyone considered looking into mufflers by Sweet Thunder. They don't make a catback for the Raptor. I was wondering what a couple 2.5" Sweet Thunder mufflers might sound like on the Raptor.

Today, I just completed the Fox 3" triple by-pass rear shocks to complete the RPG Stage 4 rear suspension. Now I have the stock rear Fox shocks as spares. My options as I see it are: Put them up for sale Save them as spares should there be a problem with the new shocks (use if 3" Fox are...

Does anyone have any idea of the percentage of Raptors that are exported to other countries? Not too long ago I was filling up at a gas station and a woman stated that my Raptor was the first one that she had seen on the street. She works at a port here and stated that they export quite a few...

Today I applied for a personalized license plate tag and was lucky to get my second choice. I tried "SVT 4X4". That was taken. So I changed the order to "4X4 SVT" and it was available. The person that helped me showed me what it would look like. We decided a double space between the "4X4"...

Just finished washing my Raptor and couldn't help but notice the dealership's license plate frame. I do plan on replacing it, the sooner the better. So, I wondered, does FRF have its license plate frame that I could buy, or will I be forced to get a one-off at twice to three times the price?

I recently received my SVT Certification package (envelope) for my 2011 Molten Orange Scab. Within the envelope there was a production chart with much production information for various colors, body types, and options. It states that of the 11,135 total number of 2011 Raptors: 8,821 were...
