    Post Your Wheel and Tire Pics !

    Are any of you guys running real beadlocks on the street? I am looking to get true Method 105 NV beadlocks and I was hoping to get your input. I know they aren't DOT approved, but have you had any issues with them? How often do you need to re-torque the bolts?

    Perch Mod Discussion

    I also did the perch adjustment without removing the tie-rod. I hit it a few times and it didn't want to budge and I didn't want to force it. Adjustment went without a hitch.

    Pismo Easter Weekend

    I would love to but I have family coming into town Saturday. I will be kiteboarding on Sunday over there so I may see you all... or you may see me flying overhead if a strong gust catches me by surprise.

    Sirius XM

    Is there a way to disable Sirius satellite radio so that it doesn't come up on your radio options? I haven't had it for years and I'm tired of accidentally hitting the satellite radio button when changing media.

    Onboard air compressors lets see them

    I'm going with a VIAIR 400C with exo-mounts. The exo-mount provides easy mounting and significantly reduce the noise with vibration isolation. I've used it before on previous builds: AccuAir - Air Suspension

    The FRF Shock Shootout! All pre event details and discussion here

    Where is this shock shootout likely to occur? California (Northern or Southern)? This may help determine who is eligible to donate their test vehicle. Is there anything in it for the donor other than having his vehicle pounded hard for a few days? I know that I would be happy donating my...

    Traction control and locked differential

    Awesome. Thanks for the advice. In my original post I should have mentioned that I am in Off-Road Mode. In summary, I guess all I have to do is switch into off-road mode, then 4H, then long-press traction control disable, then pull knob to engage locked differential. That helps a lot...

    Traction control and locked differential

    When I take my Raptor (2010 6.2L) out the sand I noticed that getting the traction control to give up it's reigns is kind of a pain in the butt. Every time I switch between 2x4 and 4x4 it re-engages the traction control. Is this a "feature"? Finally, when I pull the 4x4 knob to lock the rear...

    Riding Rougher after off-roading

    I have a Stock 2010 Raptor (with 6.2L and 24k miles). When I bought this truck a few months ago I was blown away by how smoothly the truck handled down the road. It soaked up potholes and bumps like nothing. I have since taken the truck out to the dunes a couples times and handled it pretty...

    I'm a new member on here and just bought a Raptor. I would love to join up with you and learn some of your dune-jumpin' skills. I live about 5 minutes away from the dunes in Pismo. I've got a baby due any day now, so put me down as a maybe.

    Best / Recommended Octane

    It looks like a bunch of you are running 91+ octane. Is everyone who is doing this have an aftermarket tune? Why would you be running an octane greater than 87 without the aftermarket tune? The engine compression is low enough and the engine timing is set up to avoid knocking at 87 octane. I...
