Shout out to Bailey and the BD team. I had an S8 short due to water infiltration. I had replaced the combo lens with wide for use in the fog pockets, so I was fairly sure the fault was mine in not ensuring the water tight seal around the lens. I contacted Bailey for repair and got the shipping...

I like it, but $7k seems steep.

Trying one more time. This jpg link works just fine in a different forum.

It appears I suck at getting pix to link. So, never being one to give up, I thought I'd try again with flickr. Stay tuned. https://flic.kr/p/X7CTbS

Here's a daytime shot with all the front lights on. This is from a lonely road at night, headlights only. Here's the same shot with all the accessory lights on. Same camera and settings. ---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ---------- Most of the...

Thanks for letting me know. Using google pix for hosting. Not sure why they didn't show after I posted. Anyway, I redid the links. Here's another shot. Hopefully this stays live.

Look over here. S8s in the grill and two more S8s in the fogs: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f265/barts-mostly-lighting-build-56315/

I brought the Raptor home in March and have been enjoying it immensely. It's has the 802A and carbon fiber packages, but no graphics or tailgate appliqué. This is from warm, sunny NJ, fresh from the dealer: My teenage children started calling the Raptor the Big Ass Red Truck or Bad Ass Red...

I left mine in place. To me, it's not like a dealership badge, but a piece of history. I visited the Rouge many years ago. IIRC, it was once the largest intrustrial plant in the world. Iron ore, sand for glass and raw rubber went in one side, finished Fords out the other. Times have changed...

I'm in the Aug 7 class, flying in on 8/6 in time for the intro session the night before. Anyone else here going then?

Here's the rub, Crash. You say your way is the proper way to wire a circuit and everything else is half-ass shit, but you also admit that the way you suggest using the relay isn't intended by the manufacturer. Someone might call that half-ass shit. I would not go that far, however, since your...

That's an interesting way to wire a relay. Crash makes a great case for NOT using one in this application. Most folks run the fused battery lead to Pin 30. Pins 85/86 are for the lead from the upfitter switch to to actuate the relay switch. 87a isn't an input lead. It's an output and is normally...

Unless he has turbos in the back, too, I think the glow on the video is from some sort of wheel well light. Given the amount of water already thrown around that "puddle," I'm guessing it may have been deeper the first 10 times he hit it at speed. The intake sits high, above the radiator...

I don't understand why some like to argue. The upfitters already have relays. Unless your load exceeds the rated amps, not much reason to employ a relay where a simple diode will do the job. I used three relays and five diodes in my current set up. I'm sure other folks could find different ways...

At the risk of putting my chin out in an otherwise entertaining Internet argument, I offer a third solution that doesn't require a separate relay. Get a two in/one out diode (Roadster makes high power ones suitable for automotive use). Run a hot lead from whatever upfitter switch you prefer...

I have a ktm 990 and 530 and considered these ramps. I really like the tailgate lip that the ramps slot into, but it's less helpful if you use the ramps on other vehicles. You also might want to check the weight rating. I think it's only 450lbs for one ramp, which is less than your bike. Unless...

Just starting my install this week. Great info, thanks.

I have the tech package with autodimming and have some concern as well. I plan to use two upfitter switches. One will control the lights on/off directly. The second upfitter switch will send power to a relay, with the relay trigger slaved to the hi beam (if I can find a good place to tap the...

I'm getting an OnX6 for the lower grill in a few days. If anyone can offer advice about tapping the high beam, I'd greatly appreciate it. If I find it first, I'll post pix and details. Thanks!

August 6-7 for me. Looking forward to the course. Thanks for the great wrote-up.

Where would you tap the high beam wire, near fuse box? Any help IDing the right wire would be appreciated.

After fiddling with the release a couple of times, I ordered this release. Less than 5 min to install. I appreciate the quality kit and thoughtful design. Nice product!

Try the Pine Berens, around Atco and Hammonton. Plenty of "legal" roads, marked on maps, that offer deep sugar sand, bogs, technical trails and the link. Make a friend or two down there and follow their led. Good times will be had.

I'm looking to buy a Raptor in the next few months and thought it would help me get smart on the truck by following more experienced posters here. I'll be happy if I can find a 2017 screw close to MSRP. Best deal I've been offered was $5,500 over for a loaded lIghtning blue. I'm also content to...
