I just wanted to take the time this Christmas Eve Day to wish everyone out there in Raptor Land a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We're all lucky enough (and blessed enough) to have or be waiting for our sweet machines. Santa even brought me a new Drum Kit this year!! If we EVER...
First off, I am asking this for a friend who has an F-350 Dually, I hope it's ok to ask this here since he has the 6.2/R680 engine/tranny combo, the same combo that Raptors have. This is a brand new (2011) truck and he has one of those campers that sits in the bed of the truck. He took the...
Well, I found out the Raptor has no sending unit to alert you that you are running low on windshield washer fluid. You would think that on a SVT vehicle equipped with a Luxury package they would. Even CaTruck (the Ridgeline) had one of those. Small potatoes maybe, but I guess I expected to...
Well, day one is under our belts. We're getting ready to go get some breakfast and head out for another day of flogging. This truck is AMAZING!! The suspension is second to none and I did not lack for power at all with my 5.4 engine. I DID have re-figure the nanny controls when traction...
Tire Pressure Advice - Sand
Ok, I need some advice from you guys who regularly ride the desert sands. I'm getting ready to head to Silver Lake sand dunes in a couple of weeks. The park recommends 10 psi while running the dunes. This seems low to me. I don't need to break the bead doing a...
I live in Wisconsin, and needless to say, we don't have some of the awesome areas that those of you do in the South and the West for riding off-road. The week of June 27th (June 27th through July 1st) my wife and myself are going to Silver Lake Sand Dunes Area in Lower Michigan. As far as I...
I was asked about my tonneau cover. It's a Truxedo Lo Pro QT http://www.truxedo.com I purchased it from my dealer and he even installed it for me (shout out to Wentzel Ford). List on the cover is: $445 and I purchased it for $375. It has a lifetime warranty and so far, I really like it. It...
Ok, As promised, I got the info on the mud flaps today. Camera phones sure are slick! Here you go:
As for drilling and install, they have self-tappers and I just made sure the vehicle was level (using my level) and just lined them up and made sure the flaps were level & plumb. I may...
Ok, Here we go. I spent some time writing this up based on my own installation and had trouble posting this with the pictures in the right spots. I now have a Photobucket account so let's see if I can get-R-done. Some of what I do for a living trickled into this (it was kind of humorous to...
Now that I have some picture space here (thanks for that) I can post pics of our ride! Here's where I'm at so far. Weather permitting, I'd like to get my driving lights on and possibly "activate" my back lit SVT vents on the sides. I still need to save some money and get Line-X to do the bed...
Hello Fellow Raptonians,
Falcon hit me up with where I got my windshield decal, how it looks and where I got it from. I like it great, and coming from a motocross background, I know a bum decal when I see it. There are several to choose from and the price is right. Go to...
Hey All ! Well I may as well announce that I too have been banned (or so it seems, I can't post or even see new posts) from the "other site." I guess ESAD must be a private detective. I even changed my handle for this site. OUTCAST actually suggested it to help me out, but to no avail...
Just thought I'd check in! I've had my Raptor 10 days now and am LOVING IT! I finally feel like I'm "bonding" with it and getting used to the feel and manners of the truck (not that that's difficult!). It was a ling wait, but worth it and my 5.4 pulls long and hard! (that's what SHE said)...
