    After market exhaust

    You feel better now? I don't get insulting others because they have a different opinion or like something you don't but to each their own.

    Is it just me? or Does anyone think the Brakes suck..

    Not trying to argue with you but my experience is different. While I currently track with a ceramic brake equipped vehicle, most of what I have experienced in the past is with iron rotors (better for track use as they are cheaper to replace and do not have a stopping disadvantage); and fade...

    Is it just me? or Does anyone think the Brakes suck..

    I realize I am a newb at this forum so I am prepared to get flamed but I will chime in with my 2 cents. I totally agree that since OEM brakes are capable of locking the brakes (activating ABS), then there is nothing that will improve stopping distance (same tires of course). This is my first...

    After market exhaust

    Just saw this. They don't seem to like it and it is difficulty to tell on a computer how good is any exhaust. Anyone aware of other companies working on an after market exhaust for the gen II? I think whoever makes a good product, will sell a ton. A Big Fat Exhaust Isn't Enough To Make The...

    Are the warning labels on the visor removable?

    Rubbing alcohol!!! Go slow but persistent circular motion with a soaked rag/microfiber, will get it out with no damage to the visor and no residue.

    Tailgate Lock

    Hmmm, I don't know. The SA showed it to me when I took delivery but never mentioned they added it. There was not an added expense either. But you are probably right, as I haven't read anything about it until I took delivery. I googled it, here's the link if anyone is...

    Tailgate Lock

    Tailgate HAS a lock. Look at the passenger side hinge. There should be a special key that the dealer gave you. Sideway pics again, turn your laptop 90 degrees clockwise.

    In honor of the Gen 2 Custom Method Raptor Wheel caps

    Those look awesome. I would be very interested especially if the lettering and claw marks are colored, eg red. Is that possible? Edit: Looks like those are for the Method wheels. Would they fit stock wheels?

    Must-have accessories - what are/will you be adding to your Gen2?

    Thanks! So what would you recommend if the main use is for reverse light? Looks like the flood may blind people and the wide cornering is a little narrow. Does the light have a swivel adjustment? Sorry for so many questions.

    Must-have accessories - what are/will you be adding to your Gen2?

    Nice! Whats the difference between Driving Combo and Flood? And is the Wide Cornering throw side to side only or all around in a circular fashion? (thinking of vehicles behind when in reverse). Thanks.

    Anyone that switched from small car to the raptor?

    From a 911 Targa to a Raptor. First few days, felt the truck will roll over if I sneezed. Parking is the biggest learning curve. Once you learn the handling characteristics, that thing is sold and handles amazingly well for a vehicle its size. I love it...

    Good idea, and simple. Thanks.

    Anyone using Fordpass?

    I am using it. Just for the remote start. It takes 45-50 seconds to kick in but that is fine as long as I know. Love it as I park 1/4 mile away from my office and the remote is out of range so this does it. Nice to be able to unlock/lock too. I don't use the parking part of it as I don't need...

    Removal of front license bracket

    Ha! Funny you mentioned that as I am thinking about it. I assume one loses front sensor function with your bumpers?

    Removal of front license bracket

    I know the holes are there, I'm trying to plug them after I remove the plate that the dealer riveted in place, not sure what to plug them with after removing the rivets. I guess I can use some metal epoxy but it may end up being messy.

    Removal of front license bracket

    I want to remove mine also. Don't want holes. Not sure what material to plug the holes with. Any ideas? Perhaps remove the current rivets and bracket then install new rivets with no bracket??

    GEN 2 New info ford raptor mods!!

    Good to hear. A tune with a little more hp/torque and a software update for the transmission together with a much better exhaust (low cell cats/downpipes and muffler bypasses perhaps) would make for a perfect Raptor.

    GEN 2 Alignment specs

    They are the same as the 2015/16 . I know this because my steering wheel was tilted a little clockwise when in s straight line and it drove me crazy, felt like it was 1 or 2 splines off. I took it in and they put on the alignment rack and used the 2016 specs. I have the print out of what it...

    GEN 2 Orange Accent Pkg

    Have it on mine (shadow black) and definitely love the contrast, plus you get orange stitching. It's a burnt orange type color, like UT/Longhorns color.
