Thought I should put up a slightly belated build thread to document some things I've done which might be of interest.

In June I picked up my Raptor from Park City Ford in Bridgeport, CT. Thanks to Tony Spencer my salesman for a good deal and Bearclaw for hooking me up.

I got a new 2014 Screw, Tuxedo black, with following: 801A luxury package, moonroof, tailgate step and - yes stripper pole :rockit:, beadlock wheels, front and rear cameras, Ford tonneau cover and spray in bedliner. Pretty much loaded.

So happy. I had a loaded and lightly modded 4Runner which I was looking to replace. Was also looking at possibly a modded Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, but after driving the Raptor, it was all over.

Then a few more small mods, put a zip tie on the rear seat release lock for easier access and a screen protector on the Nav HU.

Then a small project, a bed divider made from 2" x 10" wood and covered with black Polymat and with two handles on topImageUploadedByTapatalk1419981804.420783.jpg

Ok time for a radio. I passed the Technician exam and got my ticket. I wanted something that had good multiband coverage and a remote head, so I got the Yaesu FT-857D http://www.yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cm...02&encProdID=8CBB7C4BDBAF40129AD4253A4987523C with the remote head and mic mounted using a Pro-clip on the dash cubbyhole http://www.proclipusa.com/dashboard...9-2014/proclip-angled-mount-854639-12960.cmsv and a few antennas. I've currently got a Comet SBB-2 mounted on rear door driver side.
