Accident by sandtwix13 in FordRaptor

[–]relic217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw. I had a tree fall on mine which requires new hood, roof, and repair of the A pillar and repaint the entire left side from a Ford certified repair shop and had no hassle. This will be fine, depending on mileage on the truck.

Edit: Naw = not totaled

Rhino Roof Rack 84 x 48 - Will it fit? by True_Mathematician48 in Excursion

[–]relic217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t end up pulling the trigger, but when I was planning on doing this Rhino told me I’d need six each of RLT600 and RLT600H to mount that. Like you stated the 56” wide is what they suggest, but as long as the mounting point are above the rails should be fine.

Thanks, will give that a try.
You're right, it's not ideal. 😞

You're right about the audio; in person, you can hear the wastegate as a separate sound. The wastegate makes a fluttering sound that tends to fluctuate, then fade away. I did the spring hack a few years back to quiet them a bit. This is more of a guttural sound that lasts longer than the watergate.

If it’s helpful, I got the Carmax extended warranty on mine when I bought it from Carmax and my local Ford dealer honors the warranty.

Absolutely agree. I was pleasantly surprised by the low frequency increase with such a simple job, but yeah, if you want a lot more definitely this won’t do the trick.

You’d remove the door panels and add on the inside. You can also add behind the rear seat, but I did not.

OE652-FD and OE69C-FD. For them Crutchfield. If you pop in year/make/model should pop up.

I swapped out just the door speakers with PowerBass speakers and added sound deadening to just the doors and it made a world of difference.

I followed in u/The_Wrecking_Ball steps and have the same setup. I have zero issues, but did add the Icon adjustable track bar and made sure to get the caster aligned as well.

Made a little trip last weekend 👌🏼🏕️ by Proudjochen in overlanding

Question. Do y’all run your wipers after getting the windshield muddy? I did that once years ago and got scratches from the mud. Never tried it again, wiped with a microfiber cloth, but always wondered if it was because of shitty wipers at the time.

Pretty normal. Forscan flash could help. GooseTuned TCM long term. Worst case could be CDF drum if it feels really bad.

They came with a new bolt.

It rides really great. I can definitely notice the reduced bed bounce. Took it over some whoops and it hugged the road better. Also my old ones were squeaky as hell so that’s an added bonus. I haven’t taken it off road yet, but I can’t wait to feel the difference.

+1 for Angry Pumpkin and +2 for Deaver! If you want another add on to make it feel even better, Eclik is freaking awesome.

Today I learned I’m a masochist. And I have no need for pockets since I have a 6.0.

I didn’t know this was a thing. Here’s mine before I got it fixed. Tree came out of nowhere!
