Well I did it, for someone as pathetically inclined mechanically as I am, this install was a stretch, but is doable. It took me quite a while, like 7 hours, I was taking my time, but also would get hung up from time to time on dumb stuff and just had to work through it. How some of you did...

I don’t know, but it sounded like more of a licensing or distribution agreement for the North American market.

Looks good, and I like your approach to the lift. Share some pics after the new wheels/tires installed. Thinking that 285/75 might be a good size, and not too many pics of them on here.

Thank you for all of this, but I’m still a little confused here. For a long time you’ve touted that Gears Mag was essentially wrong on their write up about the 10R60 having a 430ft lb max torque, and it should be something higher, yet I’ve not seen real proof of this, or referenced torque...

Yeah, I was corresponding with a Fraser on the timetable for this and he stopped responding so I’m assuming that an amp update may have gotten axed. I think the Zen A2b interface is actually the upgraded Mobridge device and they are now marketed in the US through Zen exclusively and that...

Word of caution, I’m not sure this one works with 2025+ models. Ford changed the A2B protocol/connector starting in 2025 and I’m not sure Mobridge ever developed a new amplifier for this. I really wanted to go this way but gave up waiting for a new version to be released.

Looks like an awesome install and I’m sure it sounds great. I agree with you 100%, and came to the same conclusion. I also replaced the existing system with a combo of Hertz speakers and Audison amps (with a PAC amp A2B interface). Lots of ways to improve the stock system and a full system...

Watch out, you seem to be on the same slippery slope I was on - started with Cento, then thought Cento pro, then Mille pro, lol, actually ended with Mille Legend (MLK 165.3) with Mille pro rear. Good luck!

Curious if there are any recommendations for good and honest independent service techs with some Raptor specific knowledge. Don't really have the space and time to do my own. My local dealer seems ok, but personally I just don't trust dealers all that much. Also post if you've found anyone to...

I’ll also add that the Hertz MPS250 sounds great with the Stealthtech box (which seems close to the Skar and JL box). Went off the OPs recommendation and it sounds great to me. The sub is paired with Audison amps, Hertz speakers and a PAC interface in a complete replacement system.

Glad you found the problem and was able to get it fixed, but that seems significant and it doesn’t give me an easy feeling, particularly about modding the truck where it may put more stress on the tranny (e.g, procal, bigger tires, etc). On a lighter note, the title of this thread made me...

Had this 93 from new until about 2004. Put a killer stereo in it and had a lot of good adventures in that truck. After owning another suv for 20 years, last year I bought a Ranger Raptor and put in a killer stereo. I guess I missed it, and looking for new adventures.

Bump, new price.

I used XPEL Prime ceramic, 70% on the windshield and over the rear privacy glass to add heat rejection without making them darker, and 35% on the side windows. I like it, it’s not too dark at night or on cloudy days and keeps the car a bit cooler in hot SoCal summers. My wife has llumar...

@Mean Dean on YT Flaberdoopin and 5 Star Car Stereo both have done Ranger speaker upgrades and show how to get door panels off.
