What will be your first mod?

[raptorusmaximus]

I thought about tuning as well it sounds like with all the modes it may be fairly complex and I'll bet it will be encrypted therfore too expensive for the gain.
I also thought about finding where the solenoid to open the exhaust is located and just unplug it open or run it through one of the aux switches.

My first mod will be hopefully getting the floor mats dirty sometime in 2022.

Anything can be tuned. It may take sometime but companies always find a way.

We will need pics of that!

- winch
-More lights on the front
And..... a Raptor sticker in place of the deleted factory one... Ha! (I'm not a fan of the digitized actic camo)

After thinking about this a little I'm going to add a "Donut switch". Since 2012 the fed has mandated manufacturers to not let customers completely disengage traction control. The button inside will raise the threshold that it engages but not turn it completely off. I found that on my gen 1 raptor I need to pull the fuse for the anti-lock brakes in order to fully disengage traction control, then I can cut lose.. I think on this one I'll modify a fuse with a couple of leads and run them to one of the aux switches so I can turn off traction at will. I'm also going to add a pedal commander, it made a huge responce difference on my gen 1

Nice. So you wont have to pull the fuse, just adding in a switch or button to by pass the fuse?

Been doing some research and I might be changing out the factory tie rods with Fabtechs. Found them here https://fabtechmotorsports.com/product/tie-rod-heim-kit-fts22349/ and will beprobably switching them over.

Thinking about winch. Ford has already done what I had planned for my original Badland order.

Actually the first mod I do will be brake controller! I wish Ford had made that part of the Tow package. Trailer tow is almost worthless without the brake controller.

Both of these make complete sense. My 1st initial thought was a winch as well. Bet that this is one of the biggest aftermarket purchases

I'd like to get a soft top on it, anyone know why the regular bronco top is not offered? will it fit?

Doesn't the Raptor come with upgraded tie rods?

It does.

 

[jzweedyk]

I will upgrade any weak point on it, if and when it breaks, or if other people have issues with it.

If you get a winch, I would think you would need a new bumper. I can't see where you would put it on the OEM bumper.

I’ve looked at the Rough Country under bumper winch for our original Badlands order. That may work on the BR but it may be a down grade. I’ll have see some specs, if it even fits.

If you did that, I'd just upgrade the bumper to an aftermarket.

I don’t want interfere with the camera system. Also like to keep original as much as possible. Most up grades are cosmetic are seriously screw with crash protection. I don’t want to lose everything I have because I made some ill fated change.

I understand. The front camera should be in the grill(as it is on my raptor). The only issues you would run into if you updated your bumper is the Adaptive cruise control module will have to be moved. The aftermarket bumpers usually come with a relocation bracket.

The camera is in the FORD logo so a new bumper wouldn't effect it.

 

[Rick]

I’ve seen a couple of winch mods that interferes with the camera view. I hope to avoid that. Way and see approach for now.
