Think the Tufskinz is worth every penny! Makes the rear emblem pop, especially when all the Raptor decals have been removed.

Canopy next!

Yes - exactly on both! Got the box out of Australia in about 10 days for roughly $210 with tariffs and all to WA State. Great box! I went ahead and sound deadened the exterior and a couple of the bigger flatter panels inside. Also sound deadened the entire empty sheet metal tub before the box...

Last night finally wrapped up the Hertz 10” shallow mount subwoofer install in the rear passenger tub. Running it through the typical Kicker Keyloc d.s.p. and a still new in the wrapper 2007 Rockford Fosgate made in USA model Punch 300.1 that I’ve been sitting on for nearly 20 years. Did all the...

1K% before! Thats a no brainer Wouldn’t hurt to do another one after the road trip or fairly soon thereafter. Cheap insurance and a great way to break the engine in. These Ecoboosts (any direct injection turbo engine actually) tends to dilute the oil down with fuel in short order between oil...

UPR also makes a nice drain plug option, hasn’t given me an ounce of trouble. Similar to the Ronin - add a piece of 5/8” silicone tube to the center outlet, twist it open, and let it fly - zero mess! IMO for the money run factory Motorcraft oil filters. For 35+ years I’ve always ran stock oil...

Yes - That’s it, perfect. Thank you! That’s just enough lean forward. I’ve been tossing back & forth a color matched A.R.E. (heavy & no adaptability) and a RSI Smartcap (not color matched) now this gives thought to another option to the light weight stainless avenue. That profile shot looks...

How much $ if you don’t mind me asking? 200lbs. Seems right in line with all the other stainless & aluminum modular units so that’s acceptable. The black & silver looks killer! You wouldn’t happen to have a straight on profile pic near the tailgate would you? I’m interested in what the lean...

By no means pound on it, but seriously don’t treat it like a baby. Old man always told me if you treat it like a baby it’ll act like a baby……trucks & women. 50+ years later and I’m still using that reasoning. Just don’t keep drive it symmetrical either. Variety is the key. BIGGEST piece of...

No not really. Just take your time and lay everything out ahead of time and get a feel of where each piece and each coupler is going because there are no directions. And the last thing you need is to be aggravated mid project. Mounting the intercooler and the topsides pipes were no problem...

Yeah that’s a good point on the diff fluids. But you’re money ahead getting that trans serviced way ahead of schedule. Smart move!

Great idea to keep the t-case & both differentials on the same maintenance schedule as well. Easy to keep track of that way. Zero harm in doing it early. Planning on doing mine at 10K & again at 30K and then every 30K thereafter. Seems ridiculous?…. I don’t think so. Did the same thing on my...

I too went from a ‘19 F-150 to a ‘25 RR and I honestly don’t miss a thing!…..minus a canopy, but that’s in the works. I also live in the city and can’t tell you how much I appreciate the size of the Ranger. Plus my families dynamics have changed and we’re no longer towing anything. Just need a...

Not as much as I used to, but when I do it’s H&K all damn day. VP9 - bedroom / VP9SK - downstairs / CC9 - edc and in the center console of the Ranger loaded with the WA State Commie 10 rd. mags. 😖

It’s always going to be tough to keep out car wash spray. I had an A.R.E. on my previous F-150 that could keep the bed dry from anything the PNW could throw at it, but the t/g top & sides were always culprits to leakage during the touchless/pressure washer type car washes. Yeah the 2-tone is...

Nice & much appreciated! That’s exactly what I was looking for! I think the Smartcap actually looks great on the desert tan. Now the Night Owl also has my attention as it appears to sit a bit lower, but I still like the exterior styling of the RSI the best especially with the windows, which is...

Damn! Built in deck & tent! Now that’s pretty slick. Not sure I’d want that for everyday use, but that is one nice compact & highly useful unit. Looks good as well. Somebody figured out how to do it up right Night Owl……. Never heard of them. Another option to definitely look into. Thanks! Yeah...

I definitely looked at the Alu Cab and do agree that it’s a great unit as well. But I like the idea of stainless steel construction and honestly just think the RSI has a better profile on the Ranger. Especially with the angle of the back glass. There’s something off putting to the more 90*...

Looking for feedback & pics from anyone running the RSI Smartcap Evo Sport (the one with the windows) on the Raptor model. Other models great to hear back on as well. Huge bonus if you’ve got it on a desert sand Raptor! As I cannot find a pic on-line of this canopy/topper on a tan Raptor. It’s...

Yes, I’ve actually used these with great success. I used to run one on my ‘93 Ranger when I had my Doberman in the canopy and we were going camping, dirt biking, etc. Also ran a larger one on my Super Duty when I had it loaded with an Elkhorn camper in the bed so both sliders could stay open...
