    Bump stop travel

    More or less pressure in the bumpstops won't "upset" anything, nor will it have any bearing on when the bumpstop pads contact the axle. The pressure in the bumpstop is an adjustment; the perfect pressure for your truck will vary depending on things like the normal load you carry in your bed...

    Bump stop travel

    Pretty sure everyone with a stock height Raptor and a properly designed bumpstop kit will have that happen. I have the RPG kit and I certainly do. Remember that these trucks only have about 5" of up travel in the rear at stock height with no load, so a 2.5" bumpstop only leaves about 2.5" of...

    Garmin Nuvi Mount

    Nice! I bet the Mini will bounce way less; the iPad 1 is a tank. It's about three times as heavy as the Mini...

    Modify Corsa Xtreme for Dovetail

    On my Corsa I just took off the chrome tips and got a 45deg turndown from Summit that is tucked just inside the edge of the truck. It required no modifications to the exhaust, just pull the old tips off and slide the new one on.

    Garmin Nuvi Mount

    Hey Kahuna, I used the 2x1.7" base, the 6" arm, and two different RAM X Grip mounts. If I may comment on the X Grips for just a sec (since you are planning on mounting an iPad), they hold the iPad Mini really securely (as in it won't fall out) but when the iPad is horizontal it does rotate...

    10 NAV map update - sync

    Yeah I don't know if you can get a new unlock code from the company or not if you buy a used disc; I would think not because that would defeat the whole point of them having codes to begin with.

    2nd battery

    Having owned a few of them myself I can tell you that the engineering team that worked on the Humvee was definitely not from Nasa. It was a common comment on the Hummer forums that when you repaired/upgraded something on the H1 you felt like you were fixing someone else's engineering problem...

    10 NAV map update - sync

    For the 2010's at least be careful buying them from someone other than the manufacturer because it's not an SD card like the new trucks it's a set of CD's. You have to supply a hardware ID from your exact stereo when you order them and then the discs come with an unlock code specific to the...

    2nd battery

    The Military HMMWV's and early Hummer H1's have two batteries mounted inside the cab, under the passenger seat. They only moved them on the later H1's to allow for passenger seat adjustment. Just FYI.

    Garmin Nuvi Mount

    I had one mounted in my truck using a ProClip mount and an aluminum Garmin adapter ball. Worked awesome on the drivers side of the center console. I then decided that I wanted to mount the GPS on the passenger side and my phone on the drivers side, so I switched to RAM mounts. Required...

    Corsa Extreme exhaust for 2010 Raptor?

    I have a 2010, and I bought a Corsa Sport exhaust as well as the resonator for a 2011+, everything bolted up just fine. The resonator pipe and the straight through pipe interchanged no problem. I agree with LekRap, I would think you could just buy the Sport version and save yourself some cash...

    Bed Storage Ideas

    I have a Pelican 1740 case in my truck. It was the longest one I could find that fit in the front of the bed. It is heavy, but it is indestructible and has wheels on one end that make it easy to move around. I am planning on making sort of a rack on top of it to attach an axe/fire...

    Side Steps w/ front spray guard

    They don't look like they are part of the running board, but they don't look all that bad. Especially once everything is uniformly dirty. :-)

    rear blinker issue...dafuq is this?

    The resistors are usually there to provide the proper resistance to the computer in the truck so it doesn't think the tail lights are out. LED's don't have internal resistance like incandescent bulbs do, so unless your car knows to correct for that certain things don't work right. Things like...

    DRL (daytime running lights) stopped working after LED upgrade

    Not as far as I know; the CarFax I got when I bought it had it originally purchased and licensed in Washington State. When you start the truck the headlights aren't lit up, but as soon as you put it in gear they turn on. Always have. If you park in front of a store window or something you can...

    DRL (daytime running lights) stopped working after LED upgrade

    I have a 2010 and it has DRL's. It just turns the headlights on at a lower brightness. If you have an HID conversion it will just turn the headlights on all the time.

    Add a Leaf for Height and Payload Options

    If the lift is too much you can always replace the factory lift block with the ones from a regular F-150; that will lower it about an inch I believe.
