Which is better for high-speed offroading like Baja, more wheel travel or more shocks? I'm just getting around to modding my Gen 1 suspension and don't know much about it. I see options for lower control arms that allow for a second (bypass) shock in the front. And I see options for adding...

I'm trying to do a Raptor Run in Baja next year and have a buddy with a F-350 Tremor that would like to go also. For those of you that have done a Baja run, could a Tremor do it? If it could do it, would it be so slow that it would be annoying to everyone else on the trip? I'm not sure if any...

Do aftermarket shocks require rebuild after an appropriate interval like the Fox shocks on my Gen 1? I'm at 100k miles and about to do the exchange program at Forged Offroad. But now I'm wondering if I buy 3.0 Fox or Kings whether I can stop worrying about rebuilding. I also have hope of...

A thread for advice on mods, accessories, and packing lists for days playing in the sand. Hello all, I spent yesterday playing in the sand at Little Sahara here in Utah with my kids and grandkids. I found some things I had packed (thanks to the experts on this forum) that really worked well...

All, what would you expect to pay, or have paid, for install of fog/driving lights in the fog pockets of the Raptor? My son-in-law did the install for me. He did a great job hiding the wires, attaching to the upfitter switches, split-looming, etc. But it was the first time he's ever done it...

Bought a Builtright Bed Rack system over the holidays. The installation requires the removal/replacement of the tie-down bracket near the tailgate. My truck is a 2014 that has the factory Rhino Lining in the bed. That Rhino Lining covers the brackets/bolts mentioned. If I slice through the...

My wife and I have to tow a U-Haul out to NYC for my youngest daughter (law school). We'd like to "overland" back to Utah in the Raptor. For us, "overlanding" means traveling hotel to hotel on dirt roads as much as possible so we get a new view of the country. I found this site...

All, I'm in Moab this weekend doing some off-roading. When pulling into town this afternoon after a day on some fairly mild trails, the power steering failed. Anyone know a good place in Moab for this kind of repair? There have to be a ton of off-road shops around--though this is only my...

So what are the 20% of tools that solve 80% of the problems off-roading? My sons and I are trying to create the toolbox version of a lightweight backpack or a Bare Minimum Go Bag. One of my sons does a ton of car repairs and has a metric butt-tonne (10% more than an imperial butt-ton) of...

What fire extinguishers do you guys carry? Different for cab, engine bay, and bed? I swear I searched for this topic. No results. I'm intrigued by Halotron for the lack of mess, but don't love the idea of one in the cab given that they aren't rated for plastics. Seems like a lot of plastic...

I have this odd desire to create a "sleeper" or "stealth" truck (to the degree that's possible given it's a Raptor) out of my 2014 (while I wait for Gen 3). Something that you guys would recognize for being extremely capable off-road (think trophy truck, not rock crawler), but the average...

So my wife and I are being driven around a relatively rural part of northern Cambodia (because Angkor Wat was on our bucket list) yesterday when a white Gen 2 Raptor went flying by in the opposite direction. Don't know why, but after seeing a ton of Toyota's and tuk tuks, the Rap really...

After having read the lighting tests that seem to show about a 50% reduction in output when a lightbar is placed behind a grill, I couldn't help but wonder why people don't dremel out a row or two of the Raptor grill. May be a stupid question as I am not all that mechanically adept, but the...

Hi All, New to the forum and new to Raptor ownership but I have searched and read a lot of posts on raising the front, lowering the rear, Deaver's, adjustable bump stops, etc. I haven't been able to find answers to a couple questions: 1. I know I'm in the distinct minority, but I like the...

All, Just a quick note to thank all you long-time members that have taken the time to post so much information. After reading a bunch of info on this site, I took the plunge and bought a used 2014 SuperCrew Raptor. I've only had it a few days but already love it. Merry Christmas! Ty
