There were some challenges but manageable. I posted this Installation Summary thread and ChiliPepper added a PDF to the thread also. It should give you a good idea of what you’d be getting into. I’ve also done a couple JCR winch plate installs, that’s pretty straight forward as well...

I’m guessing @Dgchurch didn’t see this as he wasn’t tagged. I’m pretty sure he had the Ford dealer install the winch. FP Winch kit works fine with Raptor. However, there are some compatibility issues. It doesn’t relocate the two front parking sensors so you’ll have to disable them. The...

This leads me to a pet peeve. A Ford service checklist indicates that they “check” the air filter at each routine service. They do not open the air filter box and inspect the filter, they check the mileage and if your close or over 30k they replace the filter. Anyone assuming Ford is...

I’ve got no answers, but thanks for posting! All the electronics are cool in their own way, but unnerving. I’ve had this happen about six months ago. Steep 30+ degrees descent right after climbing the same at about 6000’. I limped down the mountain to where I could get help (in case it...

Not exactly topless. Rocking the “mullet”… all business up front, and a party in the back….

61 when I got my 2022. Driving like I’m 17 again. Glad I got those responsible years out of my system. Only so many years left until my daughter takes away my keys.

That’s great! It’s always a relief to find and remediate a rattle

It’s the sliders when the body flexes relative to the frame. I’ve got it on the passenger side too, but far less annoying. The quick diagnosis is to use a pry bar to wedge some folded cardboard in the gaps. If it goes away you found your suspect, and when it comes back after wheeling the...

I did not retain the passive rear shutters. I adopted a less is better approach. That included removing the ACC bracket and relocating my shutter motor up behind my headlight. I did this after downloading codes the OBD-II. I’m not sure there was any impact, but it seemed like the right...

What quick fists did you use? This looks like a great. Fantastic use of some unused real estate. Winter is coming in the Sierras and I’m tired of my shovel sliding around in the back. The paint job on the shovel looks great!

So I installed the Whipple IC this week. Install wasn’t bad, but it would have been nice to have done this before putting on the winch plate and winch. Also after almost three years of considerable off-roading all those plastic push connectors are getting much more difficult to extract from...
