Well, I can't say I'm surprised, but the best place to run our trucks in North Texas is now permanently closed. Not sure if they were on their 3rd or 4th set of owners, but since opening 4 years ago they've struggled to become profitable. With the newest owners being out of state and management...

There are very few things I don't like about my truck; the extremely fragile interior is top of the list. The unreasonably thin dye and/or paint Ford used means almost every brush against the plastic results in a scuff of the opposite color. In the 5 years I've had my truck, I've tried all...

Since taking my son out to TRR earlier this year, both my son and my daughter have been constantly asking me to take them offroading. I had been concerned with both of them being too young, but my son had handled TRR well, so I finally relented and took them out to Texplex this last Saturday. As...

My 2017's shocks aren't performing nearly as well as they used to. I've got 42k miles on the clock, anywhere from 3-5k offroad miles at this point. Per Fox, I'm way overdue on maintenance; per everyone else, it seems I might be middle of life. From what I've read, the predominant opinion on this...

Took my son out to TRR this year; it was his first time offroading in my truck. For our first lap, I had one gopro watching the track and one watching his reactions. I stitched them together and am pretty pleased with the result, and thought I'd share. Note I was going somewhat slow as (for...

A short, informative official video regarding the 2021's shocks.

Nothing too special, but honestly this should have been part of the reveal yesterday IMO.... The 2021 F-150 Raptor: A Closer Look | F-150 | Ford - YouTube

Highlight video from the event: We started in Horseshoe Bay, had lunch in Mason (about the mid-point) and finished in Fredricksburg. We were surprised at how much of the route was paved (about 65% of it) but still had a great time regardless. Leading a pack of 31 trucks for my first event...

Been wanting to make this video for over a year now, but didn't have the software to do it until recently. I was fortunate enough to have external footage from several of my laps at Texplex back in March of 2019, which coincided with my dash cam footage. By stitching the videos together, you...

It had been since last November since I got to take my Raptor out for some fun, and with the regular prerunner days getting rained out, I decided to make a solo trip to Texplex. Really happy with my new camera and video editing software. Was able to get some good footage of the suspension in...

https://www.facebook.com/events/642967899621486/ DFW Raptors is hosting the Texas Hill Country Run. Expect an easy, scenic route that should take most of the day. Meet up at Bayside Fresh Market, 9710 FM2147, Horseshoe Bay, TX 78657 at July 11th, 9:00am. Departing at 9:30 am sharp. Drive near...

I was asked by an Audew rep through this forum if I would test some product of theirs and post here. We finally agreed on a product - their OBD2 reader - and having received it, I tested it in both my vehicles. While Audew was supplying the product for free, I told them that I would give an...

Engineering Explained and StraightPipes team up for a pretty interesting, entertaining, and surprising video. I know it isn't a Gen 2 but close enough.

I edited the tire pressure settings using FORSCAN. You set what the placard pressure should be, and it calculates when the low pressure light should come on (seems to be 75% of setpoint). I set the front tires to 33psi and the rears to 30psi, so I shouldn't get an alarm prior to 26psi. You can...

Anyone have them? I believe (but am not certain) it is Ebony Black (SEM 4559), not Charcoal (5831). Can anyone confirm this? I'd also be curious as to what the metallic grey that goes around the vents is. I've been using Forever Black Trim Restorer to cover up the horrible white scuffs our...

I'm trying to figure out if I need to just go a lot lower with my tire pressure or if my shocks are defective. I have really bad 'pogo' effect - my nose is constantly lifting my front tires off the ground again after an impact. I've noticed that supercrews hitting the same obstacles at the same...

If you want the exact ones pictured below, specify "Ford Performance Raptor and Gen 2 Raptor". $18 shipped to me, I'm pretty pleased...

Anyone else have this? Mine is starting to develop it (not the best picture but my dealership sent in a claim). These posts from 2017 and 2018 are worse than mine. We all joked back then they must have been hammering on the button, but having seen that, I tried to be careful, and still have...

Want to guess what truck he takes?

Round 2 of my suspension comparison videos, this time my stock 2017 vs @Keller Steeler's 2019 with the Fox Live Valve shocks, deavers, and bump stops. I don't think the latter two made much difference, given with how his truck handled against the 2019 I test drove. Anyway, here's the video...

Spent a full day offroading at Texplex yesterday; did 5 laps myself and rode in 4 separate trucks, one of which was a buddy's 2019. The live valve shocks definitely make a difference - they really smooth out the minor chop, even more than they do on road, and I could tell they were working to...

Hey guys! I used Leatherique for the first time on my truck this weekend and was greatly impressed by it. I made an album of my weekend of cleaning if you are interested in seeing it. The captions detail the process and my thoughts. It was the easiest leather treatment I've used, and offered the...

Made a highlight video for the second Prerunner track day at Texplex a few weekends back. The track keeps getting better and better.

Hey guys! Everyone always what kind of performance gains you see with suspension modifications, but unfortunately there are never any back-to-back comparisons of mods versus stock, all other factors the same. With an opportunity to ride in a friend's souped-up Gen 2 at Texplex a few weeks ago...
