Un-Allowed Mods

[PorterW1111]

Lets start a list of mods you should not do for any reason. give new owners a go to list and keep them from getting #maskshamed when they make their first post. haha

I will continue to update this first post with the growing list


EDIT: Dont flame me this list is compiled by the members. These are not my personal opinions...

this is a list of 'avoid these mods to preserve functionality' and 'pet peeves of the raptor community'... do with it as you wish


Body:
-don't use brake fluid to wash your truck
-Color matched wheels, or wheels with red/blue accents
-Stick on Buick fender portholes
-Tow Mirror's .. flipped up like an elephant ear
-Under glow lights
-Grill lights that block the IC
-Chrome
-color matching hood vents

Suspension:
-Anything ReadyLift
-Lift Kits... any
-Anything that lowers the truck more than stock.

Wheels/Tires:
-Anything >17" - for offroad focused builds
-No wheel size limit for mall crawlers
-Any wheels with a positive offset.
-22x12's with small tires

Drivetrain:
-Any Tune (depending on who you ask or if you have a factory warranty)
-Forscan mods that disable the battery management system
-Exhaust. You can't make it sound good...period. - only applies to you gen2ers
-Headers. If I had to do it all over again... Rookie waste of time and money, and the most frustrating install of my life... if you are N/A it is a waste.

Interior:
-That stainless trim for around the vents
-Carbon fiber trim ( come on it's a truck, it doesnt do anything performance wise)
-ANY stereo upgrade that does not include the NAV-TV interface.
