Following along as a newer GEN1 owner. Lots to learn after a couple decades of Jeeps.

Is that 3M tape VHB? VHB would for sure be the best route in my mind due to how it fills into all the little porous areas.

Thanks for suggesting there; I hadn't thought about that option. I like to either replace with upgrades, or go ultra cheap if I'm just needing it temp fixed until more funds are available. I priced out all 4 corners, with shipping, and it was around $1600. That is indeed a very minimal...

Thanks for the feedback. That's what I think I'm going to do. From looking at the costs of the various options; this seems like the most cost effective option. Then I can do all the service myself after this initial setup.

I'm assuming these are from the GEN 2 I see in the image? If so, then probably too much work for them to do what I need on my GEN 1.

Sorry to bring back and old thread; but... How have you been liking this setup? I just got a Gen1 over the summer and realized (in a rather difficult way yesterday) that the shocks need rebuilt. I'm thinking about just ordering all the components from Forged for a Stage 1 and flutter then doing...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll send the link over to the wife. I'm hoping to go up in brightness a touch, but nothing terrible since there are street lights for most of my driving. When I get into areas there are not (to/from work) then I just flip on some LED pods.

So I'm looking at the HID link you provided as well as the LED links. I'm curious if that HID kit is $140 for both sides or just one? I'm planning to order something for my birthday to upgrade the headlights. I've got the stock projectors on a 2013. I do a lot of city driving and have...

Thanks for the feedback OriginalToken. I had not yet considered the shearing forces on the mounting bolts. I think I may have to look into mounting this to my bed cover instead. Thanks for the thoughts. Maybe I'l be able to post up how I did things in the spring. Work looks to be rather busy for...

I actually looked at this setup, but then realized I'm much to cheap. If I could find this setup for around a hundred bucks, I'd be much more willing to consider it. I'm having a hard time convincing myself to burn several hundred bucks on a mount that I could fab, machine, print for much less.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted in this thread. I picked up a Gen 1 in the summer and finally have time next week to install my radios. I'm installing a B-Tech tri band as well as a Yaseu FT100D. In time I may install a CB, but it's pretty low on my list. I rarely do much...

Actually. If anyone has informatuon on on Silverlake (what I need, where, etc) please let me know. We are free this upcoming weekend and we would like to go play. I may bring the dirt bike too.

Looks like I may have to make my way up to this get together. I will do some Google searching later.

Next weekend at Silverlake? You have my attention... My dirtbike is out of service for a couple weeks while I redo the forks and the Jeep is parked until Labor Day plans. I've got an on board air setup that I'm moving over from the Jeep to the Raptor. As far as radios go, I've got a CB I intend...

Since everyone loves pictures, here's a shot of my Raptor with some of the other toys in the background. Nevermind my neighbor admiring the truck. I've since taken the stock rims off (they'll be used for off road only) and put another set of rims that came with it on. I'm not a fan of them...

I'm with you on that one. I suspect this thing will be loads more fun in the snow than my Jeep is. The in-laws have a few hundred acres in Burlingame so I'm thinking I'll be doing some field donuts this winter. :)

Congrats! I too just picked up a Raptor two weeks ago. I grabbed a 2013 in Tux Black. My in-laws are in Lee's Summit and I'm out there frequently. I suspect I'll be bringing the truck out this winter for the holidays.

Michelle, I'm in Dublin (Central OH) and just picked up a '13 Raptor last week. I moved here from CA/AZ with my Jeep on 37s, so I've found a few places around here. That said, I've never really paid attention to the width as I had my Jeep set up to do front digs (it's a 4 door) and could pivot...

Alright, so this forum is incredibly expansive. Is there a good place to start? I'm using the search function but finding that a lot of threads are old and/or dead. I'm trying to figure out a good way to setup my OBA (On Board Air) from the Jeep, if I can mount the winch with the stock front...

Just got my truck yesterday, I'm curious if anyone has experience with HF and noise with a Gen 1. I prefer mobile HF and pulled all my gear from my Jeep to migrate to the truck. I plan to run an all band, all mode with two coax runs. One for 440, 220, 2M. The other for HF. My HF setup on the...

Good looking truck. I need to migrate or add some LEDs to it for fog lights. I've also gotta measure to see if my CRF will fit with the tailgate down and figure out how the heck to set it up. This thing has never seen dirt, had the bed rug and cargo bar in it. The load bearing bed cover, two...

Well, here we are several years later and I'm now a SCREW owner. 75k miles on the OD. https://imgur.com/gallery/6rrFip7

Well, here we are several years later and I'm back, but now with 2 kids. I ended up with a 2010 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. I've done all sorts of work to it. Five inch long arm lift, Atlas 2, full cage, etc etc. But along the way I left SoCal/AZ and moved to Ohio where there is much less...

Thanks for all the warm welcomes folks! I do really enjoy the rock crawling, but not living somewhere I can use the Jeep frequently is a bit frustrating and why I've begun this line of thinking. Having a truck I'd get more day to day use out of it. To answer what part of Ohio, I'm in Dublin...

Thanks, that's where I'm heading now.
