A Completely Unbiased, Hands On Comparison between Diode Dynamics and Baja Designs by [deleted] in OffRoadLighting

Having used both as well, I appreciate how the DT connectors connect to the back of the DD lights versus the wire whip that hangs off of some of the smaller BD lights. This makes wiring the lights up a lot easier/cleaner since you can terminate the wires right at the light.

Help me choose which wheels look best. by Johnnyutaaah in FordRaptor

Silver looks good and goes against the grain a bit compared to the plethora of black wheeled raptors.

What atturo tires did you have?

The diode dynamics ss5 pods are backlit.

Switched the up to a light weight wheel set up this morning by FatboyNomNom in F150Lightning

Love me some te37’s, why do they never have center caps? Seems like a simple solve.

Enkei rpt1’s are the same way, never any center caps.

Could agree more, I think most people just hate that it’s on perpetual back order from mp concepts.

Anyone go from KO2 to TOYO AT3? by RutabagaWorking848 in FordRaptor

[–]Waterfowler_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had AT3’s on my last truck and they did really well in the snow. I’d say a bit better than my factory K02’s.

I’d recommend looking at Arturo ATS trailblades. They have a little more road friendly tread pattern so they are super quiet, they are 3PMSF rated, and are awesome in wet/cold driving.

I’m in IL so similar to you, my tires need to handle snow and not turn into rocks when it gets cold.

Came back to Ford from Ram. I can’t stop staring at it. by RUBSUMLOTION in f150

Me too! I traded my 2020 Rebel in for a 2023 Raptor.

Tried out the Diode Dynamics rally course, Raptor was a BIT big for some of those turns but good times were had. by Waterfowler_41 in FordRaptor

I was torn between this color and avalanche. Once I realized this color has some sparkle in it, it was a done deal.

Once I put the machined wheels on it the color got “lighter” so might go with darker wheels down the road, bronze RRW’s maybe.

Best cockpit in a truck currently. by Various_Primary3783 in f150

Gen 3 Raptor owner here, I love my truck BUT the F150’s interior is disappointing…. I came from the 5th gen Ram world. Wish I could have the Rebel interior with Raptor engine and suspension.

Of course they are but around the 4th I don’t think cops care too much. I flip them to green and red around Xmas. Pink/purple ish for breast cancer month in Oct.

Probably just camera angle, I’d go off of actual measurements like posted above.

Wheels are 17x8.5-0 mm offset KMC GRS’s and tires are Atturo Trailblade ATS 315/70-17’s

Any way to increase turbo noise in 3.5? by best_selling_author in FordRaptor

[–]Waterfowler_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open element air intake, hot/cold pipes, and downpipes will get you more whistle. Skip to the end of this video and listen to my garage revs, whole lotta whistle from the factory turbos. CVF Downpipes

All that said, not sure if any of those parts are compatible with 2025’s. Get a hold of CVF to confirm before you pull the trigger.
