    Installed a Black Widow Muffler

    I've been researching mufflers for awhile now, not liking how quiet the stock muffler is. Narrowed it down to the Black Widow and the Spintech. After reading through this entire thread and listening to the posted clips, I decided to get the BW. From what I can tell, it is a bit deeper sounding...

    Dreaded Dash Rattle

    Death Squeak I assume no one has found out where the "Styrofoam ice chest" squeak is coming from? It has finally got cold here and the beast has returned! It is one of the very few things about my truck that drive me nuts (the other is when the remote start doesn't work and the truck just honks...

    Wrap in process

    That is, without a doubt, one of the best looking Raptors out there. Seeing it reminds me that I need to get off my arse and figure out what I want to do to mine!

    Ridiculous dealership

    I would suggest you contact Randy (look for the blue Randy link on the right). I ordered my Raptor from him in 2011, it was the easiest vehicle purchase I ever made. I never had to step foot into a dealership. At the time his cost was $3K under MSRP. While you may be able to shop around a find a...

    Best Raptor Compliments

    I think the best compliment I've got on my Raptor was non-verbal. The other day while going to Lowe's, a kid was driving out of the Best Buy parking lot in his 96ish Mustang. He was turning and talking on his cellphone. He took the one hand he had on the steering wheel and stuck it out his...

    BAK tonneau covers for the Ford Raptor

    One of my first purchases for my Raptor was a BakFlip from Morrie. Can't say how easy it was to deal with him and happy I have been with the cover.:biggrin: It's not just a sales pitch when he says he gives a discount to FRF members, you won't find a cheaper price from a legitimate business...

    Center dash speaker

    The system has a center speaker so I thought I would upgrade it as well. Not sure how much sound it actually contributes but thought it couldn't hurt.

    Center dash speaker

    Has anyone replaced the center dash 3.5" speaker? I am in the process of replacing the wonderful stock Sony speakers with Polk DXi speakers. I got the DXi 350 but it is to big. The larger magnet hits the radio support. If anyone has found a 3.5" speaker that fits, please let me know.

    Hoping to make the 2500 mile round trip to the Motherland from Ohio to meet some of the other lunatics from FRF but the daughter's impending nuptials may change my plans. :emotions122:

    FRF Giveaway Bonus Tickets via Addictive Desert Designs

    Received the email, responded within minutes. :peace: This the bumper I want for my truck. Here's hoping. All that winning it would accomplish is allowing me to divert the money "saved" to something else. :waytogo:

    **Updated** SYNC Secondary USB Installation Guide

    One additional modification I will be doing this evening is to put a second USB drive in the glovebox. The reason being is that my son likes Gorillaz, Weird Al, and Gotye at the moment. I don't mind it being on when he is the truck (I'm a very understanding father :waytogo:) but I'm getting...

    Wannabes are everywhere....

    Didn't see any Raptors and we drove all over the island. Most of the roads are very narrow and I would think it would be difficult to get around. We had a Jeep Liberty rental and both sides had scratch marks down them due to the really narrow roads leading to the beaches. Though I kept thinking...

    2012 Rough Idle on Cold Start/Harsh 1st->2nd Shift

    My '12 doesn't ride rough while cold but I do get a metal-on-metal grinding noise when I start it in the morning. It only does it once and it seems to be due to a lack of lubricant somewhere. If I start it up anytime after the initial startup, it doesn't do it. I need to take the truck in for...

    Wannabes are everywhere....

    Maybe "Wannabe" wasn't the correct word. I was just suprised to see the wheels on a truck on an island that's only 21 miles long by 4 miles wide...... There were also two Lincoln trucks and a HD running around. The STX did look really nice.

    Wannabes are everywhere....

    Was recently in Vieques PR (small island off the coast of Puerto Rico) and saw this STX with Raptor wheels. The guy was cleaning it almost everyday.

    Randy, can you get nav updates?

    Like many others, reading all of this justifies my not getting the NAV in the first place. For the $200 Ford seems to want to charge for the updates, I could buy a pretty nice, brand new GPS...or keep the one I have and save the $200, plus the $2500 for the NAV itself. :peace:

    Perch Mod Discussion

    Went through the same thing with the dealership I took my Raptor to for my messed up window. They said the shocks could not be adjusted and even said they talked with their Ford Field Service Manager, who said the same thing. I explained to the service manager that there seems to be mod-friendly...

    Perch Mod Discussion

    How many of you are getting the middle perch mod done at a Ford dealer? I took my Raptor in to have the window fixed and asked for a quote to have the shocks/springs adjusted to the middle perch. I was contacted stating that my Raptor does not have adjustable shocks?!?! Here is the response...
