I’m going to mount it on the lower grille mesh, just below the driver side Rigid light pod. Almost the exact same location as the engraved RTR logo, but on the mesh instead of the bar.
It was one of the first things I noticed when installing my ADD ACC relocation kit. It’s had no impact on the cruise control working. I just relocated my ACC module again - I had to move it about 4” closer to the center, because I installed 3 Rigid lights in my RTR grille. One of the lights...
Finally finished this tedious (and pricey) mod to my RTR grille. It took a while to finalize the design, lots of very careful cutting, took it to get paint-matched, created a wiring harness (first time using Deutsch connectors), relocated my ACC relocation kit (so lights weren’t blocking ACC...
No one’s in a hurry to make these. BuiltRight and Valhalla have been saying coming soon for a year. I contacted Valhalla and they said maybe fall of this year, but probably not till spring. So many people are waiting for these, but the vendors must not see enough potential sales.
I don’t think the wires are a heavy gauge. I’d eyeball the thickness of the wires and maybe error on the side of a thicker gauge wire. As long as the gauges are close, you shouldn’t have any issues.
I think Fab Fours should come with an extension harness. The ADD kit sits in a much better location.
I believe that because my bed was sprayed with LineX, the bed walls are more rigid than a non-lined bed. Also, if you removed them, you could plug the hole with a little dab of black sealant.
The rear of the bed is open, not connected left to right like the front of the bed. It’s free standing except when the tailgate is closed. But the tailgate has a lot of play on both sides. If you get airborne and your rear lands hard, it can cause the rear of the bed to spread open further. The...
I used quick fist clamps on my Raptor for seven years. Most were just sheet metal screws, but a couple used plastic anchors. Zero rust. For serious Baja-style off-roading, extra clamps support heavier object like axe heads. I mounted a shovel, axe, and racing jack handle.
The last picture shows...
Sorry, never came back and updated. You can change tire size with FORScan, but it’s complicated and throws an error. I haven’t seen anyone escape the error, but I guess you can just ignore it. I set mine back to stock tire size and cleared the error.
I’m running 5 Star 91 performance (that’s our highest octane). I’ve had it on for 2,000+ miles and it’s a huge improvement over stock. I recently added the suite of aFe products under the hood, plus a Borla twin tipped exhaust. 5 Star updated my tunes for the new hardware. I also run a Pedal...
It’s an additional service available from SiriusXM. It provides a lot of useful information for travel, weather, and sports info. See the link below...
SiriusXM Travel Link
The off-road events I’ve attended in the past aren’t races, they are organized off-road events. Track, trail, or open field, there’s no substitute for a tire in the bed. I can change a flat in roughly eight minutes.
3.4 has some nice improvements, although the UI could use some polish. However, one of the best changes is that SiriusXM Travel Link now works like it’s supposed to. I had Travel Link on my Ford Raptor and it worked. On the Ranger I have Travel Link and only 2 of the 8 services worked with 3.3...
Yes, I will run with the spare in the bed. Almost all off-road events require the spare in the truck bed, it’s not allowed under the bed. I pull the spare out if I need to haul something. The chase rack in my Raptor was a quick release rack - pull the four locking pins and the whole rack could...
I also installed a dual USB port to power my iPad, which I use for Off-road Navigation, GoPro camera control, OBD diagnostics, and gauge cluster for boost, fuel consumption, engine temps, RPMs, torque, etc. I already used all my Lightforce switch openings, so I had to place it elsewhere. It’s...
Some of these three prong switches are different. The copper prong definitely goes to ground. The other two silver prongs are power and accessory. If my notes don’t work when you flip the switch, try another one of the wires from the harness.
This is great news! The relay means you aren’t needing full current to the switch. I’d hook up the entire harness in the engine bay. Then ONLY run the switch wire from your harness into the cab. Ignore the other two wires. Then follow my notes in the picture to connect all 4 of the switch’s wires.
