From what I recall, there was a huge shortage of MIC tops at the time and there was no ETA on when they would be available. Also, it was something like $8000 even if it was available. It made choosing the carbon top a little easier.
The hood struts actually attach to the metal hinge plate and...
Mine’s a 2022, so MIC was the only factory option at the time. After the wreck, I couldn’t buy a MIC top from Ford so was forced to go aftermarket. Out of all the options, the CF top was the only one I liked (other than the price!).
Build quality is good and it looks amazing in person, but...
I don’t think we did anything special to make it fit. As far as I know, the stock Raptor hood is exactly the same size as a non-Raptor. I know the manufacturer said gas struts on the hood weren’t compatible, but I installed Red Line’s and they work just fine.
Overall, it’s been trouble free...
Both the top and the hood are from Anderson Composites. The hood is the Type-RT.
Bought both from Lethal Performance and have been pretty happy with them. Lethal was great to deal with and the pieces showed up ahead of schedule.
The hood is great, but plan on installing hood pins if you...
Overall, I like it. Fit & finish is better than factory, but noise level is the same. Had a couple of minor issues with it that many others have had. Both rear hinge covers broke, which they replaced under warranty. Also had the adhesive fail on one of the rear lift cylinders, but it was an...
Raptor with a few mods. ADV 4.5” fenders, Anderson carbon fiber hood and top, Foutz Motorsports orange billet UCA’s, front collars, and rear links.
I have the same problem on mine. I talked with him a few months ago and he said it’s something that has to be disabled in Forscan. He was willing to do it right then, but I didn’t have my Forscan laptop with me at the time and I never have followed up with him about it.
In the last year that...
Would you mind snapping a pic of the tailgate bracket cover? I’ve been thinking about getting one, but wanted to see a real world pic of it first.
Can’t wait to see everything installed on your Bronco!
Sorry, don’t know. It is supposed to work with the 5100, which is a dual band model I considered.
Maybe someone on here that knows more about the ICOM radios can weigh in.
Since mine is mounted behind the glovebox on a Mountains2Metal plate, it’s nearly impossible to get to the SD card slot. I just left a programming cable plugged into it and ran it into the glovebox for easy access If I ever needed to re-program.
Really like your install!
Sorry, but I honestly don’t remember. I vaguely remember using it on the second radio and it being somewhat simplistic, but I can’t offer any meaningful insight.
I haven't found it to be too bad, but it's a possibility. On my Yaesu, the active transmit band is slightly brighter and has white characters on the display, while the characters on the other band are gray. You can tell from a quick glance which one is currently active. To switch bands, just...
