    Towing Set-ups??

    Hi there. I ran the Roadmaster setup for more than two years. Never took it off and never adjusted. Just too lazy I guess. I'd regularly tow an enclosed snowmobile trailer, but that's cheating because you can easily adjust the tongue weight by moving the contents around. I ran a weigh-safe...

    Hit and run diminished value?

    I hate to bring bad news, but from what you described I'd expect 10k+. I had some of what you described minus the hood and fender and it added up to North of $7500 in a hurry. The headlight alone is $1600.

    Fender (bumper) bender. $7500 fix it or no?

    Hi all, update follows: I ended up trading it in as-is on a Powerstroke Tremor that I found on a dealer lot. Didn't take much of a hit on the trade. Received a $6500 insurance check. Other than I'm sure my insurance rates will take a hit, I still feel like it was the right play financially...

    No Deavers for me, stock rear suspension plus the roadmaster suspension. No complaints.

    Fender (bumper) bender. $7500 fix it or no?

    I think my Raptor knew it's headed for a trade. (If I could fid the right 350 Tremor on the ground it probably would have been gone already.). I literally had posted it on CL eight hours previous when my 15yo son was practice driving for his test this Friday and slid into a Buick sedan. Looks...

    Towing Set-ups??

    I've been happy with the Roadmaster Active Suspension. 2+ years installed and no problems. Raises the back a bit when empty since I don't adjust it regularly, but handles trailer tongue weight much better.

    Front hitch - anyone know if Curt 31083 will work?

    Hi guys. Thanks everyone for your responses. I never did find a hitch to work. But following your suggestions I did end up taking off the skid plate and tow hooks and bolted directly to the frame at the tow hook holes. Nice and solid and worked out pretty well for my needs. I wouldn't...

    Front hitch - anyone know if Curt 31083 will work?

    Like the title says, I'm wondering if the Curt 31083 or another similar will work on a Gen2 if I take off the skid plate. I have a unique short-term and temporary need to use a front hitch. Have used the Curt front hitches on other vehicles and they bolt on pretty easily. On the Curt site it...

    license plate frames

    Lame topic, I know, but does anyone have a favorite license plate frame / edge cover that they've found? Paint matched for the front would be swell (magnetic gray). Seems like someone should be offering them that way all painted up already but I can't find 'em. Thanks in advance.

    GEN 2 Raptor towing numbers don't add up

    So am I understanding you correctly - did you start with the Firestone Raptor Gen 1 kit, and the daystar cradles and that all installed okay on the Gen 2? You're the first person I've heard of with air bags on a Gen 2 after a fair bit of searching. Thanks in advance!

    GEN 2 Raptor towing numbers don't add up

    GP, if you find someone to make you air bag brackets, I'd be willing to go in with you to share the cost if they're willing to make an extra set. Are you doing cups for them, or a regular mount setup?

    GEN 2 Floor mats

    The carpeted mats above are not what came in mine. It's an 802 so maybe nicer mats are part of that package? They're rubber/plastic with an edge to make a basin for the mud/water/sand. I had weathertechs in my last 6 vehicles or so. Love 'em, and had them ordered for this truck as well...

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    I got my sub and amp installed thanks to everyone's advice here - and it sounds good. I did the Kenwood amp and Pioneer sub, per Guy's list. I've got the gain on the amp all the way up and it's not rattling any windows at the stoplights or anything, but it definitely sounds (and feels) more...

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Guy, thank you for your time and instructions! I've ordered the sub, amp, and a wiring kit yesterday to hopefully work on that portion this weekend. I haven't hardly touched an audio upgrade in over 20 years so we'll see how this portion goes before I order up the door speakers. My...
