    Did my own vinyl graphics

    So I came across a picture recently of a white gen 1 like mine that had the factory hood and bedside graphics in all black but it had some orange accessories and decided I liked the combo. After looking at the cost of some of these hood and bedside decals, I ordered a roll of 1/4" orange vinyl...

    School me on the badlands winch

    Searching I'm finding a ton of posts on badlands the place but only some classified sales on Badlands winches. I'm pretty much sold on Rough Country 12,000 lb winch and mount but just saw a Badlands 12,000 lb one for a hundred dollars less with one of the Harbor Freight coupons? Any thoughts...

    GEN 1 New OEM Fox Shocks, remove "wrap"?

    So with the price that RockAuto offered, it seemed more sensible to replace the shocks/struts than to rebuild them. First off, what a difference in ride!!! Like night and day. I guess my original ones were shot. Anyway, this seemed like a really dumb question at first, but the more I thought...

    GEN 1 Any 1/18th scale Gen 1 Raptor models?

    As I look through the Fairfield Collectibles catalog this month, I see all manner of niche automobiles from over the years; Baldwin Motion Camaros, Plymouth Belvedere GTXs, a 1959 Jaguar Mark II Saloon and yet, I have never come across a 1:18 scale, Gen 1 Raptor to add to my collection. Is this...

    What ride got attention, wanted or unwanted?

    Wondering if the Raptor is well known enough that it garners attention when you guys are just driving/commuting? Is it common in your area or are you the only one driving one? I think there's a couple other Gen 1s in my area here, a terrain colored and another oxford white one that I've seen a...

    WTT/B: Looking for Borla Touring cat back

    Anyone returning their baby to stock I would gladly trade my stock cat back system for a Borla Touring setup, plus I'd entertain throwing in some cash if the Borla is in good shape/newer. I'm in NJ, 20 minutes from Philadelphia.

    Replace with digital splash?

    I have always really liked the digital mud splash graphics on the original Raptor. I had peeled the "STX" stickers off my previous F150 (a race red 2018, below at my old picture spot in Staten Island) and put the splash graphics on that myself. I really liked it even though it didn't quite fit...

    Raptor XT?

    Little blurb that I came across when searching for the "Born in Baja" video (IIRC) said that Ford built 50 off road only versions of the Baja Raptor, each with the massaged 500 hp 6.2L engine. Really haven't seen or heard much about them. Any of these known to exist?

    Don't 4x4 here! Maybe?

    Does anyone speak legal? I think this just means your vehicle has to registered?

    First time!

    Most of you will find this extra boring but after a previous reply on another post mentioned how many place are close to me I decided to go look and try out the off-road mode. About 15 minutes from home there's some interesting trails/roads and after seeing some other folks go in with their...

    Noob help! How do I know it needs suspension work?

    First timer here and a thousand pardons if my search-fu is lacking but with this being my first Raptor, a 2012 with 86,000 miles, I have a question for the more experienced. Of course, it rides completely differently than my 2018 F150 XL, which was my first pickup after having nearly useless...
