    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Had the flares, rear bumper and plastic panels between the bumper and rear flares painted to match. Added an engine block heater, battery warmer and oil pan heater, so I now finally have my plug sticking out of the front bumper and I'm ready for winter. My Rigid 360 and radiance scene lights...

    ADD BOMBER

    I believe any 3" Pod light will work for that bumper. I am about to install the Bomber front bumper with Rigid Lights and picked up the Radiance Scene Lights instead of the regular Radiance or D Series. The Scene aren't as bright as the D series, but I wanted the red backlight and a little...

    Clear Bra?

    I had the clear bra done over the entire hood with factory decals. The shop trims around the decals and does not go over them. They also did the rockers, grille, headlights, pillars and full fenders. The flares are being painted this week, and I'll have those wrapped in a couple of months.

    Toyo RT or KM 3’s

    Yes, I had a set of 35's and they were terrible. I read shortly after I picked them up that anything over 33" for that tire were very difficult to balance correctly. I had bad vibrations the entire time I owned them and took them back multiple times to get them rebalanced. They seemed to be...

    Toyo RT or KM 3’s

    I'm not familiar with the KO3's, but I like the RT's better than the stock KO2's. I get more life out of them and they are better for the mix of driving on and off road as well as the crappy roads up here in Alaska. The KO2's wear too fast for my liking. The only advantage of the KO2's is...

    Race Red Take 2

    I wasn't happy with my first try and Gen 2 Raptor's. I ordered a 2018 hoping any bugs would have been worked out in the first year model, but I had my fair share of issues starting with the transmission eating itself while comparing speeds with a Chevy. 3 months later, the dealership returned...

    Stock Wheels/New Tires

    Considering we drive 7-8 months a year on snow and ice up here, I generally expect more life out of them. I've been running Toyo RT's on my 2011 Raptor for several years and got over 60K on my first set and probably could have gone another year before changing. Those aren't the greatest on...

    My first "mod" - tint before and after shot

    Nice! I just had clear wrap put on mine and added 35% tint to the front windows.

    Stock Wheels/New Tires

    I thought it was a pretty pathetic lifespan. I was running around 42 PSI.

    Stock Wheels/New Tires

    Here's my KO2's after 43,500 miles. I just put them on my 2020 since I figure I should easily be able to get another 40K out of them. haha Red Rap New Slicks by ArcticRaptor posted Jul 2, 2020 at 9:51 PM

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Took beauty rings off the wheels and hauled them up to a powder coat company. Learned real quick not to use a drill. Swapped the bald KO2's off my 2018 and put them on my 2020. Put the newer KO2's on the 2018 since it is being sold and I promised new tires. Tire shop guys were looking at me...

    Stock Wheels/New Tires

    My KO2's are nearly completely bald now after 43K miles on my 2018. I just bought a 2020 and am putting the new KO2's from that truck on the 2018 since I sold it and told the dealership I sold it to that I'd get new tires for it. I have Toyo RT's going on the 2020 as soon as they arrive. The...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Started modding my 2020 race red today. Had a local company do a clear wrap, added 35% tint to the front windows and red overlays on the grille and tailgate. Soon to go on are 35X12.5 Toyo RT's, ADD bomber bumper with 4 rigid 360's, borla atak with resonator, front and rear gatorback mudflaps...

    GEN 2 Whipple Stage 1, dealer installed

    Just the PCM was tuned, not the TCM. Whipple did work with Ford to update the TCM setting to the most recent Ford updates though. I have had four updates from Whipple over the couple of years that I have had it. The truck always had harsh shifting from 3-4 and 4-5, but with the new tunes...

    GEN 2 Whipple Stage 1, dealer installed

    I had my dealer do the install, but I bought the parts. They charged the hours it took to install. So far I have not been denied any warranty work by them, including some items that I was worried would not be covered. It all boils down to the dealer and if they are willing to stand by what...

    Great deals coming down the pike after the Apocalypse???

    I agree, it looks like the discounts are fading away. Glad I got in on them when I did!

    2018 front and rear cameras stopped working

    I just picked up the truck from the dealership after a lengthy service, and the front and rear cameras stopped working. I'll be talking to them on Monday about it, but I'd like to try and find out some info on where I should start looking. They said the rear camera stopped working, but...

    Great deals coming down the pike after the Apocalypse???

    I tried Edmunds, but it would keep kicking out the 802A package if I added any options like the loading ramps or spray in liner. I'll give TrueCar a try. Doesn't look like I got quite invoice, but I'm happy with the deal considering they are still asking 5-10K above MSRP in Alaska. Thanks for...

    GEN 2 Borla Exhaust opinions

    I had the Borla Atak with X-Pipe and it sounded raspy and was way too loud. Even at normal acceleration it sounded like I was trying to race off the line. I bit the bullet and bought the resonator and it calmed it down very nicely. I am happy with the set up now. It sucks to have to toss...

    Great deals coming down the pike after the Apocalypse???

    Congrats! Could you provide the actual numbers? MSRP vs. what you actually paid before tax? I ended up 6.8% off of MSRP, but I can't find how that relates to invoice pricing.

    Great deals coming down the pike after the Apocalypse???

    Finally wrapping up my purchase out of Oregon. Picked up a Race Red with a MSRP of $76,755 for a purchase price of $71,507. Could have done better further east, but shipping to Alaska would have added up. These guys are going to drive it up to the port in Washington for me. I'm happy with...

    Dealers selling 2020's at invoice

    I agree, I think Raptors would be moving much faster off of lots and dealers wouldn't be discounting so much if Ford offered the 0% financing on them. They are devaluing their product to make more money in interest. I found a local bank offering .99%, so I'm hoping they come through without...

    Dealers selling 2020's at invoice

    Check the links provided a few threads back. Those are in line with the best deals I've been finding. I've also been using the Ford.com website to build the truck I want and search various zip codes for it. Car Guru's is also another place you can find several of them...

    Dealers selling 2020's at invoice

    That seems like a great deal to me. I'm looking at a similar RR at another dealership that has two extra options, the ramps and the beadlock capable rims. I'm paying $3,737 more based on the "discounted" prices. I'd be tempted on theirs if I wasn't committed to the other one.
