    Nokian Rockproof Tires

    SOLD Nokian Rockproof Tires SOLD SOLD I have a brand new, never been mounted, set of Nokian Rockproof tires. They are 315/70R17. Nokian calls these summer tires mostly because they don't have the snowflake cold weather certification. Buddy ran them in the UP in -15 temps offroad, on ice and...

    Rigid SR2 Roof Bar Whistle Fixed

    So at SnoBall 2014 I picked up via the raffle a set of SoCal Super Trucks roof mounts. Well, a quick 2 years later I finally got me a 50" bar! I decided on a RigidIndustries SR2. I wanted a single row bar because I didn't want to risk raising the overall height of the vehicle. I went with...

    2015 SnoBall Room Swap

    So there is a lot of talk about folks wanting to swap rooms based on number of beds. I thought once place to organize it all would be good. So my wife and I have non-smoking rooms with two beds at each hotel. If anyone wants to swap with us, let me know double ASAP. Friday Night-1/16/2015...

    Switching a Ground instead of the Hot Leg

    So I've found some anecdotal evidence that using a switch on the ground leg of a device isn't the ideal choice, but it's feasible. I wanted to throw out to the greater group what they think of this. Here's the scenario. I'm adding more lights behind the grill and I'm out of Uplifter...

    Reinforce behind the grill UniStrut

    Okay, so I don't really know where to post this, but the Unistrut I have fabbed up is for mounting lights, so I choose to put it here. If mods feel a better place exists, feel free to move it. I have a piece of unistrut cut and mounted behind the grill to the two Torx screws that many of...

    WTB: Used, ugly but functioning Whelen Micro Pioneer

    As the title says, looking for some Micro Pioneers. I put two behind my grill on a piece of uni strut and it works well. I'd like to add 2-4 more depending on availability of the used market. They don't have to look pretty or have all the lens, just have to work. I plan to use the 8 degree...

    More Raptor Transmission Problems

    So, admittedly my drama isn't over, but I wanted to start this thread so I could garner as much good info to help the dealer if need be. Few weeks ago, after some spirited MANUAL MODE driving, I pop her into DRIVE and she won't go past third. I click the +/- button to show the gear lockout...

    Washed my truck so hard, Rear Camera Guidelines are Gone!

    Just like the titles says, my Fixed Guidelines are missing from my camera view. Yes, I went into the settings and tried to turn them off and back on, but the button doesn't respond, and I can't turn them off or on. I also tried resetting the system through that interface but no luck. Any...

    New Front Brakes-Rotors Rubbing Inside of Wheel

    Let me start off by saying, I've done a ton of brake jobs over the years. I mean dozens. I wouldn't say I've done over a hundred, but it's got to be close. Just saying this isn't my first rodeo. So I picked up a set of R1 Concepts front rotors and pads. Also got a Motive Products Power...

    Fluid Capacities

    So I recently did a boat load of routine maintenance to my baby. Running both the pre-run and the SnoBall II put a lot of hard miles on my truck. Thanks to Chris and the team at Freedom Motorsports, I got hooked up with fluids for the Transmission, Transfer Case, Rear Diff and Front Diff, as...

    LED Headlights

    Guys, So I'm wondering. Why are there no LED based headlight options out there? I have a Jeep buddy, and he scored a pair for fairly cheap that throw great light and are instant on like other LEDs. I mean, in the past, output might have been an option. Also, aiming might have...

    Third Brake Light Red LED Out, Again

    So my first warranty claim was a blown Red LED in the third brake light. They replaced it and I made sure it was tightly screwed in. I had read about guys putting silicon around the edge to keep water out, but that seemed to be more for water getting into the cab. Well I washed the bugs and...

    Worn Paint on Tailgate

    So I was using my tailgate as a work bench whilst I changed the oil in a small generator. As you can imagine, some oil spilled and while I was cleaning I noticed that the plastic cover on the inside if the tailgate had worn away some of the paint along the lower edge. I can't be the only one...

    Hood Shimmy at Highway Speeds

    Guys, So I've seen this for a while on my truck, but I've never remembered to post about it. I guess I ate too much lead paint as a kid. When I hit 80 mph I see my hood shimmy just a bit, like the wind buffeting is moving it around. I did my mid-perch around the same time as my...

    Bundled Wire

    Hey guys, I'm posting this here 'cause I think there may be more guys that have seen what I'm talking about in this forum rather than over in lighting. I'm planning some wiring projects on the truck, and in the past, I've come across a bundled wire. What I mean is it was like 12/14 gauge red...

    2013 Spring Chicagoland Meet and Greet Photo Thread

    We had a great turnout today. 18 trucks, over 20 people, and almost 100 gallons of creamed corn ensured everyone had a great time. We had a bunch of new guys who are all chomping to buy pizza and beer in trade for Mid Perch work! All I know is we're going to have a great summer of Raptor...
