Converting a 2012 into 2014

jlatigo · Aug 25, 2014

After a ton of love, money, parts and fun I got the new Raptor Bug and decided to trade The Beast in for a new Ruby red SE. Right off the 14 has some nice upgrades over the 12 that I am digging. I know some folks don't like the interface of the MFT compared to the previous version but so far its worked fantastic and the expanded voice command controls are sweet! New parts are ordered and I hope to have most of them on before Raptoberfest, and off course photo shoots will follow shortly as the upgrades begin. Only sticking point at this time is deciding what wheels I like and will actually work.

Converting I thought you where trying to make a 12 into a 14 by adding lights or something lol.

Ya, my gf's 2014 fusion has the MFT. I just got a Iphone and the connection to it seems flawless. Only thing I had trouble with and so does she is the voice commands. They seem to have a mind of their own.
Instead of trading to a 14 I just added the 14 headlights and some 14 wheels...

I had already converted the lights as well and had fuels on 37 inch toyos, glassworks fenders, ADD bumper, RPG stage 4+ suspension, and a few led lights. The Ruby red caught my eye and i had to have it.

I feel it!!! I want to but, I am waiting to see what is coming in the near future. Lots of talk going on right now because of the success of the Raptor. Hoping for something real crazy like a new Bronco style!!! We shall see.

Thank you, so far so good. i just wish the stereo sound system was a bit better. The 2012 seemed to have much better sound quality.
