I've still been going to the local dealer (Theodore Robins, Costa Mesa) for maintenance items and any mods (minimal) I have been doing myself. For oil changes and simple stuff the dealer hasn't been horrible. I still would like to find a good independent mechanic, mostly for the time after the...

Looks like the new style Mobridge amp finally showed up. Cool, a little late for me as I was too impatient, but cool nonetheless.

Dang, searching around the ford site looks like all the calibrations (or at least most of them) seem to be out of stock regardless of engine. Seems like possibly a supply problem with the tuner hardware (?). Tire rack is now out as well. Wonder what’s going on?

I resemble that remark, lol. Oscillating between wanting more clearance and retaining the stock dynamics is ongoing. Right now I think 34s (285/75) with a minimal 1-1.5 inch strut spacer might be the way to go to give a little more leeway when airing down without adding unwanted effects...

I’m always partial to the interlude in Pink Floyd’s One of My Turns… “Would you like to learn to fly? Would you like to see me try?” Verrry impressive air with that Ranger BTW.

Only top hat I’ve seen for the Ranger is the RPG one. It is either stock height, or 1 inch lift. The 1 inch lift version is basically 1/2 inch top spacer and a 1/2 inch gained by compressing the springs according to the email I got from RPG...

Just a guess, but if you are in California it may be restricting install on a ‘26 since I don’t think it’s approved yet by CARB for that model year.

Without measuring at all, it just looks to me like that speaker has way too much depth for the shallow stock box. The stock box seems like it's only 6 inches deep at best and that speaker is over 11 inches. That's the beefiest 5-inch speaker I've ever seen, what a beast.

Mine are the smoked three grill lights. Not sure if they are the same as Sig Lux has in their current offering, but they look similar. I was just curious as I noticed the color was a little off and I’ve never really fell in love with these lights, they seem really cheap and don’t fit well...

Question: Do the F150LED marker lights match the color hue of the signature lux DRL lights? I have some Signature lux marker lights (which are kind of crap tbh) but they are yellow looking compared to the orange-ish Sig Lux DRLs. Really hard to tell with pictures.

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.
