A followup to this thread. Everything was taken care of under warranty. The dealer bought new solenoids for each cam bank and eliminated it down to the fault bank one by one. The is now solved. Even though the sound only occurred for less than a second after start, fixing the problem resulted in...

I also don’t like the way they look, but I do wish I put them on earlier because of the rock chips I now have. I went with the FP kit. It’s super easy to install. If you enjoy drifting down a rocky road, or river bed, I would say they’re a must. I also don’t have the stickers, which would have...

I had a similar but much louder clatter recently. I have friends who have had the Cam phaser issue on their 3.5L TT Expedition and F-150 and it sounded similar. For them, it was a major repair. I had not heard that on the 3.0L. However my wife’s Explorer ST 3.0 TT, with 60k miles, doesn’t sound...

Yeah. But it's been really useful when off-roading. And, if it's not strapped down, it makes a massive mess out of your bed and bed cover when it bounces around. I learned the hard way.

I have the 3-ton Badlands jack mounted in the bed of my truck. It's held down by the HDS Engineering mount: https://hds-engineering.com/shop/ols/products/badland-jack-mount/v/12001-01-BLC-PWD Grove Fabworks also makes a mount: https://grovefabworks.com/shop/ols/products/badland-jack-mount I...

I do not have the j-braces installed. I don't plan to haul a lot on top. I went ahead and ordered the Diamondback SE per Jeff's comment, "no intention of making an HD for the Ranger". I just figured for a few hundred more I would get the extra protection in the event someone climbs on the...

Maybe NV, CA or CO. People from TX and FL traveled out and described they have very little space, in-state to off-road. That surprised me. I just assumed TX had some great areas. But there's very little BLM land there.

I owned a Gen 2 Raptor and now have a Ranger Raptor. At last year's Raptor Rally, I signed up for a driving experience with a professional driver. Because I have owned the other two models I chose the Bronco Raptor. Not surprisingly, it has a much higher center of gravity. Around the dirt course...

Dunno how many RRs there were. I would guess it was less than 20 out of 400. But it's always fun to see one.

It was another great year for the Raptor Rally - October 24-25. My wife and I attended the first Raptor Rally (001) outside of Salt Lake City in 2024, hosted at the Raptor Assault facility. This years event was a day-and-a-half in Lake Havasu, AZ. Ford shared there were 400 trucks and around 900...

I had a Retrax Pro on my Gen2 Raptor. It was great. I appreciate the ability to close the bed to the exact position, occasionally pinching 2x4s, plywood or a surfboard out the back. I also appreciate that you don't lose visibility from a tonneau cover obstructing the view behind the truck when...

Most of my rock chips are on the bed sides, ahead of the rear wheels. I recommend PPF at minimum on the front quarter, mirror caps and in front of the wheels on the bed sides. While I did not do PPF due to the cost, I will next time. I did do ceramic myself. Chemical Guys has a nice kit. It's...

I will not get a Ford spray-in bed liner again. I have had it on a few trucks. It's decent but they're lazy and they spray over all of the tie down mounts. If you ever want to put an accessory behind it, you will have to peel off the spray on the bolts. I have had 3 trucks with it and 3 without...

I can imagine that would help. It's too bad the bolt heater is not cheaper. I proved I needed the right tool for the job, which I did not have.

I have been looking forward to installing the Builtright Bedside Rack Molle panels since I received my truck a year ago. Builtright just finalized and shipped them for the '24 Ranger at the beginning of the month. Ford made this nearly impossible with the threading on the tie down bolts...

I have a '24 RR and a '22 F-350 Tremor. We bought the Tremor during peak Covid along with a 5th wheel toy hauler and a Polaris RZR. With the RZR we had to tow it a couple hours to get to the closest destination. We sold it and picked up the RR. I'd much rather drive to the dirt, deflate and...

Mine started while I was off-roading in Baja mode. It's drivable but it asks me each time I start it if I want to return to Baja mode. Notice in the image that the suspension and steering options do not appear. It goes in again to the dealer tomorrow. I broke the ride height sensor on the...

I had this issue come up last week when I was off-roading. I was enjoying drifting back and forth in a riverbed at an OHV park, then the light came on. I was reminded when I simply put the truck in 4H that I'm not the great driver I think I am. Without Baja mode, the truck was difficult to keep...

I'm pretty sure this was shared elsewhere on this forum. I have this installed for protecting the bumper for departure angles, or if I ever preferred a center shackle point. It claims it can handle 45k lbs. It has a ¾-inch D-Ring. This particular model is made by RENO. Currently it's $100 on Amazon.

I have one of these as well. It takes longer to unravel and connect each of the valve stem hoses than it does to inflate the tires. This setup is amazing. I thought of installing a built-in ARB, or similar compressor but like the flexibility of moving the unit between my two trucks without the...
