If I had the extra cash right now, this would be at the top of my list. For anyone debating what mod to do first—this is it. Skip the accent color decals and the rattle-can paint jobs. Get this instead. You’ll be grinning from ear to ear, guaranteed. These guys have a great reputation.

Interesting. I was unaware of this. I have seen a few mentions of Forscan. I'm blissfully ignorant, but it appears to be worthwhile. Seems I need to dive into this a bit more.

I'm not sure about the calibration, but I have an almost identical setup, except I have Hypercoil springs and 38 x 13.5 R17 tires. I felt the same way when I finished the install. I adjusted the air pressure, and it had a massive impact on ride quality.

I’m starting some preventive research since I just crossed 40k miles and know the battery is only a matter of time. Has anyone upgraded to a lithium battery? Looks like it would drop about 40 lbs. From what Gemini is showing, the Dakota Lithium DL+ 12V 60Ah is about $615.

Got a lil mud on the tires over the weekend!

I finally made the trip—and it’s kind of silly considering I’m only about 3.5 hours away. After 20 years, I returned to the place where I spent most of my winters, and I had an absolute blast. It was just a day trip, but I’ll definitely be back. A few notes: I didn’t spend much time in the...

Very cool! I missed it this year. Hopefully, next year I'll make it.

Well said @sheltermatte - I was thinking the exact same thing as I was sliding sideways and knowing that I needed to gas it to get out of it. Had I kept the stock suspension and 37" tires, that might have been a bit more forgiving. But why make things easy? By the way, what's the front...

I have them on mine and love 'em. Added the extra armor too. Because rocks.

Yes — they can handle the taller whoops, but surprisingly, ours does really well on the milder ones. Air down to about 28 psi to take the bounce out and you’re good. The first time I tried it, I took everything much slower. This trip, though, I was north of 70 mph most of the time. I definitely...

I had an absolute blast yesterday and had to share it with my friends here! At the start of the year, I joined SoCal Raptor Runs with full intentions of joining one of their trips and heading down to the tip of Baja. A medical issue sidelined that plan, unfortunately. But yesterday I finally...

I didn't notice much. If I remember, the first day I thought it might feel stiffer, but nothing compared to a Jeep lift. After a week, the springs settled, and it feels completely normal now. There are no maxed-out valve issues. I have a friend who wheels hardcore often - no issues, no rubbing...

Welcome to the forum @Breathright ! This is exactly the setup I’m planning to use. Honestly, I prefer the factory front bumper, and I don’t want the winch exposed to the elements when it’s not in use. I’ve had two Jeeps in the past with winches that I maybe used twice, and the sun and weather...

Nope. Honestly, these are two of my firsts. Well three actually.... First Ford First turbo First twin turbo I gotta say, I am very impressed. My typical response to anyone who asks how I like my BRaptor? - I have never had more fun in a vehicle. Since you volunteered to divulge information...

600+ HP with fewer mods and less weight than the V8 conversion? Yeah, I'd do it.
