Well my fully loaded tux black Screw made it to the dealer today. I won't get it until Monday. They said the spray took three days to cure. I went to the dealership to check out the truck and to find out what spray in they were actually using.

The truck was still filthy from transport. I learned the spray in was not actual Line X but similar and an authorized Ford dealer spray in. I was shown a sample card and the finish was much smoother than Line X and a thinner application. I got the standard "it's the same" until I finally showed the guy the real Line X I had sprayed in Super Duty.

Does anyone have experience with the dealer spray ins as far as durability? Cost wise it is $10 more than what I paid 4 years ago so that is not an issue.

One thing I noticed there is no grab handle on the driver's side. I am going to miss that real quick since I have to have the knee scoped next week.

Don't want to bang your head when landing after catching massive air!!!

Sorry to hear about your knee. get them to put a big X on the knee they're not supposed to cut on.

Congratz on the Raptor! Gonna be a long two days.

Till the knee's better, you can probably use the steering wheel and arm rest in the door to get onto the running board. Have you driven a Raptor already?

Just a quick round the block. I didn't want to completely ruin the guy's lunch. He was eating at his desk and stopped mid bite when I walked in. Fast food is bad enough but cold fast food has is probably real bad.

The seating/head room is fine and felt just as comfortable if not more so than my 250. I got all my curb running over done in the early days of the 250.

Loved the short ride and am anxious to find a reason for a long drive off road drive.
