Hi Guys, I just use one of these .The front camera picks it up as you nudge it.

Thanks Dave, just curious as there are only 3 rated conversions in Aus. 2 are up here and the other in country Victoria,I believe. This is a great forum but for us guys, the Tanks have more options on offer but all things considered, we are a small group with the most enviable rig. Unbeatable...

Dave, Mac here from Queensland Sunshine Coast. I own a 17 Raptor and that engine block icon has appeared twice since ownership. As all of the above replies are correct, you do need a code reader.Most Ford specific mechanics do have the goods. My issue was exhaust both times but not an issue...

Spot on!!!

Sorry jakenbake, a soapbox was used in earlier times,50,s and 60,s for a street spruker to sound out his message.He would bring a soap box(as soap used to be delivered in boxes about 2ft cube),stand on it and spruke.Hence the term, "On a soap box"...so now you know,don't ask again,ha.

Too many questions,guys,ha. Ford warranty is spot on so no issue.Just the wait for freight. Example,if I break a windscreen it could be up to a couple of weeks then I have $1000...Aus excess. Secondly the feelings on Donald here are much the same as there. Too many people judge a book by its...

Sorry 911, It means the scourge of the Ram, Dodge Ram. We know them here as Rams. They seem to be taking over the place as our replacement work utility vehicle and caravan accessory. Both Ford and GM are looking at stemming the growth,,ha.

Whoops! Haven't done this for a while and a little dislexed,ha.Anyway I have been reading the trials and tribulations of my fellow Raptor owners,mainly in the US. I have owned my 17 Raptor from new since Dec17 and I also can report some minor issues. Pictured is a completely destroyed AC...

Hi like minded Raptor owners, I read with interest all the arguments regarding filtration. Could some astute person please advise me as to the difference between a Roush "DO NOT OIL" filter which i currently have on my CAI and the normal K&N type "oil upon cleaning" filter? How do I clean this...

I own one of these Beasties and they certainly live up to their reputation. To answer the question of cost here in Aus, well it cost me a little short of $200,000 AUS.I am not embarassed about that though i only buy petrol engines and nothing to choose from as Australians have an obsession with...

With reference to the Diff locker, I have found from my experience that all modes above ,and including Weather Mode(all wheel drive similar to Subaru) one can engage the above. Over sand dune country, i love this Weather Mode,i tap on the diff lock and disengage Traction Control. What a...

Thanks mate, you ate a class act, no pun intended, and i do mean thanks for the advice. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Thanks Sozzy12, The pod is what we refer to as the actual filter in the CAI.I guess because it is shaped like a Pod. Anyway i appreciate both these replies and will now refit my orginal filter.Thanks. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Hi guys, Could someone please enlighten me as to the efficiency of this K n N pod in desert like dusty conditions.I am prepared to carry a spare either way but am also prepared to refit the original filter if necessary. Hopefully there is some knowledge out there. Mac. Sent from my SM-A520F...

Great to read all this about tyre pressures.The manual quotes that tyre pressures should not be deflated ,i guess as a precautionary advice for those of us not familiar with off -roading. However i would like to say that these tyres present a large rolling diameter which is a huge benefit in...

Hi Cleversn,I have read all this and have experienced the similar issues.As well as the minor cracking issue,i actually ripped a lug clean out subsequently suffered a flat tyre.All this with only less than 5000ms on the tyres. I totally agree with Raptorvet where i changed to load range E tyres...

I know,I know you cant beat a lively informative debate.The truth of the matter is that if it is just the " smoothness" issue behind the purchase of a V8, then buy a small block like Lexis or Range Rover(vomit on both).REALLY now,come on.I will be the first to admit to the passion behind pure...

I own a 2017 Raptor with a Roush tweek and LOVE it. I listen to most fellas including yourselves and cant believe that at this age the V8 still has a huge fan base.Sure, with plenty of power and noise,the testosterone pumps also. You know here Ford Aus. created the turbo 6 and actually had...

Hi me again from down under, reading all about northerner77 and your aerial woes.If you have fringe area radio stations like us then give up on an uninterrupted reception while driving in the country.I had the same obstructive aerial problem entering and departing the carport where i needed to...

I read with interest many of your topics and wish to enlighten some on the trials and tribulations of owning a Gen 2 Raptor in Aus. Firstly i have been on the forum lately enquiring about the load capacity of the SCAB . Iam a little better informed now,thanks. The other recent sage involves the...

Thanks Wheelman55,I always have fun driving the Raptor and i always take silly risks,though this great vehicle always delivers. Anyway i understand your overloading dilemma with the headlights.I had a chuckle as over here we call it "possum shooting" for possums live in trees and we spotlight...

Hi all again, well took us three, myself wife and SCAB , complete with new KO2,s, light bar,tonneau cover ,tow bar and full tank of fuel, over the weigh-bridge and came out the other end with 2.82 tonne.That will leave me with 174kg to load in. I do believe that during the RH drive conversion...

Regarding the use of your of Raptors,well unfortunately we dont all live on top of a mountain! Where i live,and of course we have 330days of sunshine, i have access to the 4x4 beaches, Fraser Is and surrounded by 60% State Forests.Consequently it is very difficult to keep my Raptor clean. Any...
