My Ford Raptor had 25 auxiliary lights and 21 switches, then I did a Ranger, and now a Bronco Raptor, so I have a little experience with wiring. Ford saved everyone the trouble of installing switches in the cab, and running switch wiring through the firewall, and in my opinion that‘s where the...

I’ve slogged through this entire thread and decided that everyone is agreeing to disagree. My only option is to start using 4B (until it becomes controversial). On a side note IWE = PTSD, I never want another Ford with IWEs. My Raptor came with a switch on the dash designed to implode the IWEs...

Looks good, you did a solid job on the bash plate! I think if I go in this direction I will have it powder coated. My Raptor had a custom ADD bumper that they powder coated white to match my truck (the bash plate and inserts). I was amazed how well that powder coating held up to serious bashing...

I was afraid to try this again, since I previously added Siri control to my 2019 Ford Ranger and experienced some odd behavior. After using it several times I had problems with it not working, my head unit going black, and my touchscreen not working. However, I added all of the commands to my...

I have zero experience with AWE, but I was checking out their new exhaust last night. It’s definitely some clean looking fabrication with a price to match. It hugs the truck for higher clearance, it’s programmable (and has a manual override switch inside the cab), it works with the Ford exhaust...

I will likely never use a roof mount light bar again. I had the Rigid 50” on my Ford Raptor and it was not a great experience for real-world off-road use. The noise can be solved by using the rubber harmonic resonance dampers, but the light reflects off the windshield and the hood. The glare is...

Rigid Industries engineer also told me not to turn on both Upfitter switches for the Rigid Adapt Series lights. That’s why they come with a 3-way switch. Someone told me it was ok, but the other person said “highly don’t recommend”.

This is the kind of info I love hearing from a vendor! The first thing I thought about was weight of the lights, real off-road conditions, and flex. Adding bends/folds in metal adds tremendous rigidity. The molle panels in my last truck bed were made by Valhalla Off Road. They folded the metal...

I can see it blocking the front camera, but isn’t the ACC module dead center in the lower part of the bumper? That’s where it sits on most Ford trucks.

Or you can shell out $450,000 for a Zarooq SandRacer 500GT…

MotorTrend has some mockups as well…

I’ve always wanted a baja racer! Ford wouldn’t be the only one selling these.

The Ranger Raptor has been available for years, just not in the states. The US Raptor is available as a 2024 model year and you can build one on Ford’s website.

Similar install to what I did in my Ford Raptor. I installed the radio in the center console and ran cat6 to the dash, and an external speaker under the seat. If you do a lot of talking on the radio, the mic on the left side of the touch screen is easier than the right side. You made the right...

There are several antenna mount options; one mounts to the screws on the tailgate hinge (right side of spare), one goes where ditch lights would be installed by A-Pillar, and another one that mounts on the trail sights on the hood. Ford also has a factory spot on the bumper for an antenna or...
