    Mid 2018 new metal oil pan

    Can you post your 2 VINs I still don't know why my 2017 pickup tube hit the 2018 metal pan, but yours did not

    Poor brakes compared to standard F-150

    Just an FYI - there are no (in widestream or even average consumer use) drilled rotors made via mold - all are drilled after the fact. If anyone tells you it is molded, ask for photos and videos of the rotors being manufactured. You’ll get crickets.

    Mid 2018 new metal oil pan

    Can you clarify? Did you do it to a 2017 or 2018 before the metal pan switchover? I'm the OP; I bought the metal pan for my 2017, and my shop showed me where the oil pickup tube was hitting the metal pan (left an imprint) How did you manage this issue? We also looked up part numbers...

    Trials near Charlotte NC

    Anyone know of sanctioned meets / trails where I can rip it up around Charlotte NC? I'll likely pack the backseat with kids so would prefer fast, open trials vs slow, rock crawling.

    Alcon Brake Kit

    I got so caught up in wheel sizes that you're right, the obvious is you have room in the front Give Mark or Rick over at Baer at call - I'm sure they will sell you another front setup to put on the rear I'm not bothered by the caliper size difference but the rotor differences and how the front...

    Alcon Brake Kit

    I think you're limited on Baer, because you're keeping 17" wheels ... most 2pc require at least 19" wheels I had the Baer Extreme+ setup, two piece rotors with aluminum hats but I'm a self-loating street donkey putting 20-22" wheels on a Raptor

    Alcon Brake Kit

    If Alcon is $7k, find another $1-2K and spring for one of the big boys ---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ---------- Took another look at the Alcon - they have found a good niche for their product Baer, Brembo etc will require 19" most likely 20" wheels...

    RPG collars and negative effects during off roading

    So what's the noise? Unrelated to the collars?

    Alcon Brake Kit

    I was picking on your modern sports car hyperbole McLaren 720S takes 108 feet from 60mph and 178 feet from 80mph OEM F150s take 119-129 feet from 60mph The "test" video shows his Alcon stopping in 125 feet but not from 60mph but instead 75mph Does anyone think that's realistic? He's...

    GEN 2 3M paint protection wrap?

    3M is easier to work with and cheaper, so if he quoted you the same $ for either film, that's why he may have pushed 3M

    Alcon Brake Kit

    Iron is cheaper, as aluminum can be just as strong while also being lighter. Baer, Brembo use aluminum calipers. Unsure about Wilwood and RacingBrake.

    Alcon Brake Kit

    Hey brother - you're absolutely right. I worded my reply very carefully, and I'm disappointed in Truckzor. Most people (wrongly, but I used to think the same, too) think BBKs magically help you stop shorter when the truth is you're limited by the grip of the tires. Both OEMs and BBKs can lock...

    Alcon Brake Kit

    I love the kit, but this is so far from right that you're beyond wrong BBKs don't necessarily help you stop shorter, hell half the time the stopping distance on the 1st panic stop is longer by a few feet vs OEM ... that's not their purpose

    GEN 2 Startup Rattle and Front Hub Grinding

    Check my video here - is this your rattle while driving? If so, look at my other posts in that thread - I never got a part number, but they named it - they pulled a part from a truck on the lot http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f260/raptor-rattling-riddle-experts-wanted-54408/

    2018 metal pan

    Anyone near Mahwah NJ want my 2018 metal pan for their 2017? I’m only giving it away to someone who’s going to get it setup on a 2017 and give us the playbook. My truck is long gone on a trip so can’t do the experiment myself. We mounted it up only to realize the 2017 oil pickup tube was...

    Can you take a sweeping right turn under speed (like an exit offramp) and tell me if you hear a grinding noise coming from the right side, maybe right rear

    Aftermarket console trim? Plastic feels and looks awful.

    Pretty sure that's a wrap Real CF like that would probably be 3-5K
