Congrats on finally finding your dream truck! Well worth the wait I'm sure! Blue is the best color btw, and you were fortunate enough to find one that is the right color inside and out! Let the adventure begin!!!

Thank you...I'm pumped!
I didn't push for it, only because of the timing and everything. I wouldn't 100% know if I was going to buy the truck until I saw it in person, but it all had to be done within a small timeframe. And I know it's an easy enough fix, so I'll take care of it myself in the near future.
As for the shocks, I definitely brought that up a few times. But knowing I got a good deal, it wasn't a dealbreaker for me. Again, something I'll address in the near future.
As for mods, I guess I don't need to worry about the exhaust since it sounds fantastic. Not only that, but now we are focusing on paying off my wife's Grand Cherokee so we only have the Raptor payment. So the pricey mods will have to wait probably until the summer, but I would like to address the following in the near future:
- stubby antenna (though, I hear both good and bad, so I may even consider the 13 inch "off road" antenna that supposedly has some good feedback)
- swap all interior lights over to LED
- LED license plate lights
- tailgate assist
- rear emblem (want to get rid of the blue)
- intake
- floor jack
Thanks!! Lucky! The drive wasn't terrible, it would have been more fun with a co-pilot.
I keep having this huge shit eating grin every time I remember I have a Raptor sitting in my driveway or when someone brings it up to me! Thank you!Yes you have! I'll never forget you telling me to stop being a "martyr" and to just go and buy one already.
Your subtle persuasion throughout the past year kept me motivated! hahaha
And yes, thanks! I absolutely LOVE this color more and more each day. I wasn't aware of the lead frame issue, so I'll definitely be having that addressed very soon.
My signature has been updated, but I still like my avatar. Maybe I'll change my mind soon enough. Thanks, again, for the kind words!
Thanks, man! Yeah, very similar! Where in MA are you located?
That's what everyone keeps saying. I'm pretty sure you're right!
Good eye! Funny, because I'd seen a white Gen 2 driving down 118 a few days prior but it didn't hit me that it was you, because you just don't see many Gen 2's (or even Gen 1's, for that matter) in the area.
Though, there is a blue Gen 2 right off Tiger Lily Lane. Nice guy, too!
Now that you know where I live, feel free to swing by sometime when you see the garage door open. My beer fridge is always stocked (and I'm a beer snob, too), so you won't see any Bud or Coors Lights!
What's your drink of choice?
Thank you, Eddie! I'm not sure about the SE part, either. But definitely the fastest color!
There's not a ton of offroading spots in the immediate area, but I envision camping/hiking, the occasional off road run, etc. So I don't see a huge need to upgrade the suspension anymore than what it has.
Ask me again in a few years, though!
Much appreciated...thanks for the kind words!
Thank you! It really is in great shape. Looks like it was very well taken care of.I'm a firm believer in the snowball method, but I know not everyone is (here's looking at you, Dave Ramsey).
Ha, yes, I have! Thank you, Frank!
Oh she will...once her Jeep is paid off! lol
Yeah it does!! And thank you, it was definitely something I'm glad I did. Exhausting, but well worth it!
Like I've been told and told others many times, good things come to those who wait. This truck was meant for me! Thanks!!
It's beautiful, very nice find!!

Ha, maybe in a few years when the power of the 6.2 becomes “stale” to me.
Thanks!!
