Does anyone have a pic of the stock front license plate mount? Mine didn't come with one (only the 2 holes), and the part the dealer catalog shows, isn't the right one......
Ta!
My dealer called Thursday evening saying that my loaded AG SCREW was ready at Benicia (CA), and I could go up with a driver and bring it back personally or wait for a hauler to bring it down sometime this week - so off to Benicia I would go.
It was pouring here in the Bay Area on Friday, so...
Recap: I'm on my 3rd Raptor, potentially the 2017 will be my 4th. I'm going to order one, but if the HP/Torque stock numbers suck, then the dealer will have no problems selling it to someone else.
So....... Here's my question(s):
Any pics of the graphics packages, carbon fiber overlays and...
Does anyone know/recommend a good shop capable of diagnosing shock issues with a 2011 screw in the SJ area?
The local Ford guys are <cough> and incapable of diagnosing anything other than a shock leaking oil.
Symptoms: 2011 Screw, 35K miles (symptoms started 5K miles ago). Truck is fine...
I kinda dropped of the face of the 4x4 world Oct-Jan, somehow a mix of work, family life and a wonky disc conspired to cut my rock crawlin' and high speed Raptor'n to zero.
However.....I'm pleased to annouce that I'm back and with a vengance. The Black Beast is being retired, and a new Molten...
Friday - before sunset.
Dan, Tim & myself headed out about 4:30 to run the trail up to Aguerenerry Point to catch the sunset.
Here's Tim chasing Dan up the mountain:

Well I was all set to writeup a how to on the combined key/remote I bought some time ago, but I darn lost the part number.
Anyway.....I can tell you that the 2011 key on the left works great in the Raptor.
Just follow the instructions in the Owners Manual for paring the key to the...
SVTOffroad is heading to Panamint & Death Valley to run some of the 'quicker' trails out there.

I went by the dealer today and asked:
1) How much to paint the grey body trim (fenders, grill, bumpers) to match the black paint
2) How much to move the front spring perch
Still waiting on the call back.
I installed a set of the nice bling Ford Racing exhaust tips last night. Hopped in the beast to run some errands and thought - woah! who stole my exhaust system! Instead of that initial throaty burble/barrap, the Raptor now sounds like some smoooth Lexus :wow:
Looking at the tips more...
In prep for Baja I decided to get a lexan windshield installed:
Ok, well no. I got a crack in the lower passenger side of the thing and it was creeping up the window fast, so I just got a new one glass OEM windshield installed.

1) Go to your favorite parts place and order Part# 9L3Z-1506024-CC (YMMV on $$).
Wait 6 weeks as the part is on National Back Order, then run down to Parts Desk and pick up part.
Return first part 'cos the one in the box is a smooth leather & light tan color . Re-order 2nd part - same part#...
I just got back from a 1000 mile road trip to Death Valley. Before I left the Raptor had about 500 miles on the clock.
Then today, as I noticed an oil patch on my driveway.......so I climbed underneath and found....Grrrrrr
The dip stick is at about the half way mark, and it was...
As I actually now have a Raptor, I'm going to take her on a quick trip to Panamint & Death Valley over Memorial weekend. I have some friends who actually live there! My plans are to head from the Bay Area to Panamint Valley on Friday, staying Friday night in Panamint Springs.
Then Saturday...
My window sticker posted to the Ford site today :banana:
Now the wait really begins. Once it arrives, I'm going to drive it to work for two weeks, then do a gonzo trip to Panamint/Death Valley. Based on projected delivery date this is looking like May 21/22/23.

Just checking in......While waiting for my March 30 build date, I just had a Dynatrac ProROCK44 and Advanced Adapters Rubi-Crawler put in my other desert vehicle :banana:
