Anyone installed RECON tailgate bars? Do they fit well? Which size? I am thinking of getting this from a local store here in Dubai (United Arab Emirates)
Part # 26416 - 60" White & Red LED Tailgate Bar
Part # 26416 - 60" White & Red LED Tailgate Bar
Enough room to fit in the above...
yup ... sometimes more. :) ... In the city on a normal day 45 - 46 is normal. Go out of the city into the highways through the desert, goes more than 50. I have seen myself upto 56 degree celsius. and Sand is HOT if you step on it bare feet. Hence no offroading in summers AT ALL. but in winters...
Summer has kicked in, no more offroading for us anymore till the winter starts again. It gets up to 50 to 55 degrees here in the summer, hence we don’t even touch the sands, only if the evenings are good enough, we do a night drive, but that also very rare.
I took the truck offroad several...
Sure will ... am not able to find a source to order these parts from US. I do have a local shipping address in US, which is linked to my address in UAE. Let see ...
Thanks! Appreciate your help. i will check with the dealer IF i can order from them or not. Was thinking of buying this in US and shipping it to my US address or directly to United Arab Emirates.
What all parts would i need to order?
Would anyone know of any site which i can buy it from?
I am looking for the original kit ofcourse, dont really trust anything aftermarket yet. So would it be straight forward if i order it? Does my truck already has the provision to install the same?
Yeah Smoked ... I would like it for the same reason ... plus here it gets up to 50 degrees in summer, would like to start the truck, AC on for good 10 to 15 minutes before going in it!!!
Yeah mate plug and pray is a commonly used thing here in garages. Specially when they come to a garage with plug and play mod to be installed :D.
I thought, it would be couple of clamops, disconnect battery and DONE!
Hey Guys ...
I have a 2010 Raptor here. We didnt get the remote start option here. But what i read and see, it can be added "easily"? If i order the parts?
- What all do i need to order?
- Do i have to leave the key inside the barrel in the truck?
- Is it plug and play or plug and...
This is my friends video --- but this more of straight line high speed :D

Check out the difference between offroad mode enabled and disabled, sorry about the poor cam quality!

I removed the bash plate on Saturday at the garage (workshop), nothing damaged inside, the body shop guys straightened it and back on, perfectly fine!
On Friday got a call from Ford Dealer, they had someone visiting from SVT US, met them on Saturday as well and he also confirmed nothing...
I will get mine fixed at the body shop for now, I know i will hit it again. Will order a new one and keep it aside until i get used to the front dip of the truck (going down hill and climbing up from the bottom)
Well not exactly, the H1 goes anywhere, yes the speed is slow. Raptor being a LWB has problems cutting the tips, hence have to do side ways. A friend with a silverado poped his side air bags (very common scene here). Becuase of sudden drops.
What i love on the raprot offroading is the travel...
Yeah my own stupidity, was climbing and had to lift off at the bottom of the dune before going up, but if you lift off then you dont reach the peak (no speed) or momentum!
You guys think i might have damaged something else underneath the bash plate? I can get this repaired and get a new one...
