Hey everyone my name is Rick and I'm a very happy Raptor owner. Mine is a 2010 white super cab with the 5.4. Believe it or not but its my daily driver/ work truck and I've already managed to put over 110,000 trouble free miles on my truck so far.

I am a proud member of the Moss Brothers Racing team and we are the Score Desert Racing series class 3 champions. We race a 1979 Ford Bronco.

What a great site you guys have.

Welcome from San Jose. Wow! I thought I had some miles on 2010 5.4... but you definitely take the cake!

Any chance you can make it down this weekend and join us in AB? Anza Borrego / Ocotillo Wells Feb 25-26 2012?

Quick question for ya: I too use my Raptor for daily commute and work truck duties... anything I should keep my eye on as she ages? I'm at 40k now, and have dealt with a slightly bent frame (from overloading) and a blown rear shock, but otherwise she's served me very well. Anything else to watch for?

Again, welcome to FRF!

Thanks everyone for the welcome.


Sorry BigJ but too much on my plate right now to join this weekends run. Still prepping the race truck for San Felipe March 10th. Thanks for the invite though.

As far as things to look out for as she ages. I honestly have had no issues at all but I rarely beat on her. Just keep up with the service and enjoy.

Hooray!! Another Stockton Raptor finally joins!! I've seen a total of 4 Raptors in the area and only 1 white one... you must be the guy I waved at out near Linden??! Heck, you're probably the Rap I saw on Hammer the week before I bought my rig.

You, me, and vanilla_gorilla...and anybody else for that matter...need to hookup soon and show NorCal how the Raptors do it!

Sounds good! How is your light install going? Did my PM make sense?
