    Might be time to get rid of the baby raptor for a real one. I heard a rumor that they don't have sand in their tail lights :eek:

    Probably the boot behind the light. Take it off for inspection if you have not already.

    I've got him and two others I think on the list. Luckily it was so long ago I kinda just forgot about him, so I don't bother checking in on him or anything. The ignore feature really is handy!

    This is an easy diagnosis. In the necessity to get the coolest looking off road truck before all the new raptors hit the OP bought a cement TRD PRO and promptly installed KO2 tires for full alpha status for a few weeks. Well not realizing he might wonder on to a beach or off the pavement the BFG tires bite so hard and are so superior on anything that isn't pavement that it throws what ever terrain they're are on all over the place and introduces off road debris in to places not designed or found during testing with the stock "car tires". So the OP can either go back to strictly pavement driving and sorrow as the new Raptors start showing up or if he may leave the pavement more than twice a year by accident he can step down to a less cool looking and less capable AT tire such as a procomp or toyo. If he wants to keep the cool look factor he could install a set of hybrid tires such as st maxx, ridgegrapplers or duratracs which have been proven by BFG loyalists to have less traction and strength than said KO2's. The choice is yours...

    Did the sand in the gas tank guy also have BFG tires? Maybe we can identify a pattern?
