What Did You Do To Your Bronco Raptor Today? 🔧 🧰 🪛

[Tor148]

Why so soon and why so often? I always do it around 100k on my other trucks, but like to hear other opinions.

Soooo, it all started with this thread: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/change-driveline-fluids-early.83929/
The FE is for rock crawling and I drive it pretty hard in the trails. I am putting it on Portals and, and, and lol. I am plaining to keep both for a LONG time so I want to be ahead of any problems especially with the stress I am putting on it.
The Braptor I take on high speed off road tracks and off road runs, plus it is my daily and I am not easy on it!!! So on and off it is getting a work out and I hope to keep this for a long time. I am not the greatest on maintaince but with these two I am making an effort to hopefully have them last.
I know it is probably over kill but if it prolongs the life or shows a problem early, the little bit of money for the fluid will be worth it.

Thanks. I agree. Fluids are relatively cheap and changing it definitely helps identify problems early.

It’s been a few days but I finally installed my AAL tailgate mount for the single ARB compressor. Install was pretty straightforward but time consuming. Instead of using the 12v from the rear outlet I ran a wire along the same path as the power wire to connect to Aux 5 for the compressor.
Very pleased with this setup since there isn’t a good way my to mount the twin under the hood with the 3.0L. It pairs nicely with the Thor’s Lightning hose kit.

Yes, they made a run of raptor rails.

Hey Tye - Did you end up installing this? I’m a little torn between the smooth and picatinny version. Did you purchase any archetype balls for the rail? Visually, I prefer the smooth, but I feel like the balls sit lower on the picatinny rail, or is it just me?

Is the code orange a match to fords code orange?

Thanks!

First mod to the Wifes Braptor. Replaced the third brakelight with a Suparee (Amazon) spare tire light so I could improve the rear visibility. It was advertised as “plug and play” which may be true for standard Broncos but not Raptors. I used splice connectors to tap into the original plug harness as I did not want to cut it in case I ever need to reinstall the stock light. I had to open up the hole in the middle and drill holes so the screws could keep the light attached if the spare tire is removed. Other than those mods, I’m happy overall with the improvement

That looks good. The rear brake light is obtrusive on the Braptor and I was thinking of the same mod, but then I realized I don't give a sh*t what's behind me.

Man, who did this for you? Yourself?

Yes, it's very easy. I borrowed a buddies computer/cable/Forscan since getting Forscan to run on a Mac appears to be a huge hassle. Just read the main Forscan thread and link to the Google spreadsheet. And, of course, make a backup before you start modding.

Would you share what sheet you worked from, I tried disabling the seat beat on my BRaptor with no luck. This is the sheet I found,
Thank You

That looks like the Google Sheet from the post here. Which chime were you not able to eliminate? Some of them get reduced to a single or shorter period rather than eliminating.

Well not what I did but... PPF, full wrap, all edges wrapped. Gloss XPEL SunTek plus Satin XPEL SunTek on the fenders.

Helps explain the high cost (labor) in such a job. So much dis/reassembly. Done by Modern Image, San Diego.

Going thru annual fix damage. Replaced a messed up flare from running stock tires offset. Back to new.

did the matte PPF change the look of the flares at all?
