    Gen 1 Upgrade or rebuild for longevity?

    Hi all, I've got a 2013 SCAB that's just over 80K on the mileage. The midperched stock 2.5's are really in need of a rebuild. My Toyo MT 315 70R18's are about wore off, but I'm starting to notice rubbing during tight turns and the ride, in general, is starting to feel really unstable at any...

    Skid Plate bolts stripped. Now what?

    Hey all. So I my new Rogue Racing Revolver bumper just arrived and I went to start on the install only to discover that 3 of the 4 bolts on the engine skid plate are stripped and won't come out. I've never had the skid plate off so all I can think is they got screwed up at the factory or the...

    Venison Burger = New Bumper, but what?

    So last week I was driving along minding my own business when a deer decided to commit suicide by feeding itself to my Raptor. It was 6:30am and I was driving into the sun. Deer came out of the tall weeds of a steep ditch at the last possible second and I took it right in the license plate...

    Need help locating a couple wires

    Hey all! I'm trying to track down a couple wires in the passenger (or driver side if need be) door channels under the plastic scuff plates. What I'm looking for are the two wires that operate the power folding mirrors. From my understanding the power folds operate by switching polarity. When...

    King Ranch? More like Fairy Princess Vegetable Garden.

    Seriously? With the tires Ford puts on them stock, you'd probably get about as much traction in the snow out of a pair of racing slicks! So, the back story. My dad and I are out to the farm today. He's got a King Ranch. We've been gone for a couple weeks so there is a fair amount of snow still...

    Sticky HID High Beam

    Ok... so here's a new one. (at least I've never heard of it happening before.) For whatever reason my passenger side factory HID headlight has become lethargic at best. Normally, when I go from high to low beam with the HID's the top half of the beam quickly cuts off. Right now, for whatever...

    Last Wednesday The guys over at M&R Automotive offered up a free pair of Flush Mount Slicks to the first guy with M&R lights on their truck to pm them.

    Wheel size setting in custom tune options?

    Hi. I've got an iTSX and a couple of custom performance tunes for my Raptor. They work great and make the truck a helluva lot more fun! In the spirit of making it even better I've got some new wheels and tires coming soon and they're going to be 1.5-2" bigger than the stockers. When I...

    Audiovox Code Alarm/remote installed. Questions?

    Ok... So a couple weeks back I had a Code Alarm CA65553SST installed in my Raptor to replace the sub-par range of the factory remote and give it an actual two way start and alarm capability. In the end, I wanted it to operate just like the Factory unit... Here are some things I'm noticing and...

    Vinyl unsticking in spot. How to restock?

    Hey all! So I got one little part of the snake graphic on my truck that either didn't get fully smoothed down when I had it applied or curled up after the fact, but by the time I noticed it I been down several gravel roads and what not and there is virtually no stick left to that section any...

    Power tailgate lock?

    Going to put one on my truck, but remember reading somewhere about compatibility issues with tailgate steps. I know one brand was compatible and one wasn't, but for the life of me I can't find which was which. I want to say it was the pop and lock. Is that right?

    SW Header/Exhaust install guides?

    Hey all! I've spent the last week or two improving the sound on the interior of my truck. Now I've bit the bullet and decided to do the same on the exterior, with a pinch of extra Powa for good measure! I ordered the full SW LT headers, lightning exhaust, 5star tune, Volant power core intake...

    Hood Graphics... Help me choose!

    So I've been working back and forth with Chris over at Designs and Signs for the last two weeks or so (I'm sure he's starting to get sick of my nitpicking!) :wink: I'm in the home stretch. We're down to two hood designs and I'm not sure which one I should go with. They're virtually the same...

    MyFord Touch, External drives, and Lossless Audio

    Ok, so I know there are a fair amount of people out there that won't care about this, but after doing a fair amount of searching and some trial and error I figure there has got to be at least a few other people that might benefit from this. So here goes. Since I got my truck I've been using...

    Whine over 60mph

    So my new raptor is at 150miles on the od. This morning rolling down the highway I notice a high pitch whine/drone. Not loud... Was just catching it between songs or when I turned the radio down. Was going about 75mph at the time. Came to my corner and made my turn and listened as I accelerated...

    Blackened is the End...

    ...winter it will send. Hey all! My 2013 tux black Scab arrived today. It's a beast! Hopefully when I'm done it will be more of a Hellfire breathing Demon! I've got a number of mods planned for this bad boy. Graphics Lights Audio Wheels Interior Badges Engine mods (Roush phase 2 possibly?)...

    Hey All!

    I've been lurking for a month and half or so now and decided it was time to introduce myself. I'm 31 and live in northeast South Dakota. After a week or two of heavy research here I placed my order for a loaded 2013 Black SCAB on November 5th! As of two weeks ago I had a VIN, a build date of...
