A good aftermarket airbox, quality filter, and larger pipes definitely helps these RR's breathe easier and "wake up". The problem is the filters though. Very few filter at, or above, the factory paper filter efficiency and when you look at how much that means is getting through to your engine, I...

I put the Aus version of the Huracan fab tailgate storage in mine. I use it all the time, it’s very handy. A bit pricey for what it is in my opinion, but for how much I use it, it’s been worth the cost and hasn’t had any durability/ mount issues...

I did mine (from tus as well). Once you’ve taken out the retainer screws you can basically pull them off. The front ones have flat clips that go into the fender at the front, so pulling those out first is easier, and then work your way to the back popping the clips out. Wouldn’t recommend just...

If you absolutely don't want to mess with the factory drivability of it and you're mainly doing the lift and tires for looks (not actually needing the clearance, etc) I wouldn't bother. That said, mine is lifted 2" front, 2" rear (1" spacer, 1" heavier coils to handle the canopy and roof rack...

I bought the Konig XD-16 for my winter trips in the RR. I was never directed to put them on (they glance at the tires, 3 peak rated, and wave me through), but I also never drove up during or directly after a storm. Note, the RR manual says 12mm chain size limit due to inner tire and wheel well...

Lots of great suggestions already. I'll add my 2c since I've built out my kit over the last year for the RR as well. 1. Try to keep your kit light. These RRs hit their weight limit fast, and the more weight you add, the worse it'll handle the type of driving it was designed for (then you'll...

My PPF has saved the paint from a lot of damage while off-roading (rocks, sticks, overgrown trails, etc) and cleanup after (washing heavy mud and rocks off your paint will slowly damage it no matter how careful you are). As everyone said, it just depends on how you plan to use it, but PPF has...

I worried about that initially as well. If I grab my 3m fiberglass pole and pull it back and fourth really far, the mount flexes but doesn't have any issue with it. When I was out driving with it, the flag pole never flexed anywhere close to as far as I was bending it. On some trails with trees...

I put antenna mounts on the bonnet hinge mounts and mounted my sand flag on one side (UHF on the other). https://gmf4x4.com.au/products/ford-ranger-raptor-2023-bonnet-aerial-uhf-antenna-bracket-bb-035

Does anyone know if there are any upgrade options for RHD markets? (Australia)

Ah, I thought it had to be a Ford authorised service center. Good to know! I'll definitely shop around in that case. I should be picking it up today so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the help mate. I'll assume they're not trying to take advantage, but helps me be prepared for the chat. I suspect they've attributed "rack steering free play" measurements to a worn rack gear when it's actually the steering geometry at/near limits + larger tyres and didn't visually...

Do you know if they could prevent me from driving it away? I drove it to the dealership for general servicing and it's had zero indication of steering problems (not loose, drives straight, no sounds or vibrations, etc) so I don't see why it wouldn't be drivable unless it's a sudden safety risk...

Hoping for some confirmation and/or advice -- I've taken my 2022.5 AU Ranger Raptor in for its 75,000 km service and they've told me they found the 'steering gear' (steering rack gear) worn and requires replacement, not covered under warranty because of non-standard aftermarket tyres and wheels...

If you can avoid airbags, I would recommend it. I think they're most useful if you regularly go from fully unloaded to heavily loaded often, to help manage sag and bottom out when loaded. If I'm not mistaken, unless you've done a lift, none of the airbag options will technically allow full...

KayaPayaPigDog shared a YT video about this: Basically he notes that the airbags don't let the suspension fully compress and he can feel it when going over things like speed bumps (when deflated). Though he shows the airbags squashed when deflated and comments that's without extra load weight...

I mounted mine just behind the tub power panel (toward the cab, inside the tub) using a 3D printed bracket that used the panel's factory bolts. That was so it sits more flush, out of the way, I can see the status light and easily reach the reset button on the back (which I've had to use more...

@KayaPayaPigDog Your latest video about the airbags was exactly the same conclusion I came to as well. I only use mine when I'm going camping and 4x4 fully loaded to keep it from squatting so low, and only inflate so it's a bit under level to reduce the rebound bounce. Thanks for sharing all...

I just realised I’ve been watching your YT channel since you got your Raptor. ? Hadn’t seen the airbags ones yet. Great content! Fyi, the BOSS bag brackets are side-specific. On the upper bag bracket there’s two “fins” with different profiles so it seats up to the base of the chassis rail...

Fyi, the air valve for the bags is on the top mount, which is mounted to the chassis. So the air lines don't move with the suspension / bags as they flex. Regarding compressors for airing them up, they don't take much. I use a little rechargeable Bosch inflator for small cars I bought off...
