    Commuter Car?

    I've got a '19 5 speed Fiesta that I bought new (incidentally just a few short months before buying my Raptor). 80k miles so far and the car has served me well- nothing other than routine oil changes, brakes and a set of tires. It's no GT500, but it's fun enough to drive and gets ~37MPG to boot...

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

    They're custom made, so they go to great lengths to ensure proper fitment. And they are SNUG. I'm almost ashamed to admit it took me about an hour alone to figure out just the driver's side bottom seat (the back rests were simple and the rest of the covers took another hour to install and make...

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

    I still felt something was missing from the seat covers: some Raptor badging. Surprisingly difficult to find, I finally found some patches off eBay that I glued (Gorilla fabric glue) to the covers. I used some tape and measured off the stitching to make them roughly centered to the seats and...

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

    Had our firstborn last month, so I wanted to get some high quality seat covers for the truck so I can stop being so damn uptight about messes (the wife is happy knowing I'll stop asking if she spilled something everytime she eats, or when we take the dog places). I lost count just how many seat...

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

    Today I FINALLY addressed a long overdue issue that I've been too lazy to fix for the past 4+ years since buying the truck new: fixing the damn rear seat latch. With a baby on the way I wanted to make sure it was safe back there. Today's been rather slow at work, I decided now was as good a...

    2019 Magical disappearing coolant

    Curious to see if anything turns up for you. I also have a '19 at 38k miles and just recently filled up my coolant after I noticed it was a bit below the minimum fill line while changing oil. Pretty much in the same boat as you, no noticeable leaks, no oil discoloration, no changes in the...

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

    Not doing anything as cool or crazy as some of you guys are, but this is from a few weeks ago. Not the best picture, but I finally had the front windows tinted to 20% to match the rears. Went with ceramic tint. $150 and after about 25 minutes later I was out the door, lol. Then last night I...

    Ford Raptor jacket, men’s XL

    The noobs after the forum asks if their Prius' are actually Raptors after buying the jacket: On a side note, those do look pretty nice!

    White Smoke (different than beaten to death topic) *sorta*

    My truck is a '19 with 37k miles, it does the same thing during a cold morning sometimes. Sig might be onto something, but I haven't noticed any sort of issues on mine.

    New Rear diff cover and fluid change

    Just bought mine from Rockauto last week (Amazon wouldn't deliver until early January), also with the Lube Locker gasket. That is the part number I punched in and, after a quick minute or two of research just to be sure, pretty certain it's the correct number. Edit: For the record, I also own a...

    A really fun Baja mode trail by Tooele, Utah!

    I haven't, no. I'd like to do it one of these years though.

    A really fun Baja mode trail by Tooele, Utah!

    I've been to the dunes twice, very fun! Both times I went in October with a couple buddies, we had a blast. It's a good time to go considering it's not that busy. The second time we ventured in the UP a bit, but we could only manage a few days total for the trip. I'd like to go again before my...

    A really fun Baja mode trail by Tooele, Utah!

    I've been binging a lot of your videos the past few days. Extremely jealous of the adventures you've been on, lol. Won't be going back to Utah anytime soon, unfortunately, but Michigan is right next door and I've been thinking of heading up there relatively soon. Are those trail videos of yours...

    Brake Thoughts

    My original brakes were shot after only ~35k miles. Powerstop seemed like a good option, but I honestly wasn't interested in the drilled/slotted route (seems to be too much discrepancy as far as those go concerning an off-road vehicle). Instead I leaned more for a stock replacement and went with...

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

    I was wondering what that might've been, lol. I thought maybe you were just going full-Australian and saying "congratulations, C U Next Tuesday!"

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

    Not today, but yesterday I finally paid off the truck!

    Simple: recommended oil and filter for Gen2?

    Which can conveniently be found at Walmart! ;)

    Cleaning underside and frame

    Always a good idea to consult PF! I'm pretty sure that's the video that led me to buying Surface Shield, lol. That and a few reviews I found who were also in the salt belt that sounded promising.

    Cleaning underside and frame

    I bought B'laster Surface Shield last year to try, but waited too long to apply it. I'm going to apply it to my vehicles here in a few weeks and see how it turns out.

    What are you listening to?

    Huh, not bad. Never heard of these guys before, but I like what I'm hearing! A bit different from the usual stuff I listen to, but I've been looking for something new and fresh.

    Daily Driver + Sports Car --> Raptor

    I wish I could DD my Raptor. But between gas prices and an 88 mile round-trip to work (90% highway), I'd rather put those miles towards something "fun." Y'know, nice long road trips or off-roading in some capacity. This also means I get to put money towards ammo or a new gun, lol. I do also have...

    Transmission temp question (Gen 2)

    That's what I figured. It's just weird, cuz like I said, I swore I've watched the trans temp stay around 190 and hardly ever touch 200 and would generally cool down pretty quickly. Though recently it seems to jerk into 8th gear from 7th when around 200, which is what had me questioning things...

    Transmission temp question (Gen 2)

    Okay, so maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing or I'm being paranoid, BUT, this is driving me crazy. Over the past several months (I want to say about the time I had the front pinion seal leak addressed back in October/November) I've noticed that my transmission temp climbs to high 190s to...
