Hi guys, i dont have a Raptor, but i want one very very bad.... already asked a few questions and told cuz of the quake and tsunami black and soon red are out of the question for color, which is fine cuz i like the orange, and i have to order one anyway. one question i couldnt get answered that maybe someone here can, i know new models usually come out late spring... is a 2012 model Raptor comming soon?
and for mods, what completly piqued my interest in the Raptor was the Top Gear USA review and the Hennesey mods for about $7k. being in Chicago not much sand i can play on, so i thought if i do get my Raptor, maybe a nice looong road trip would be in order, heading down to Texas to Hennesey for upgrades playing along the way, get my mods, then a road trip to Vegas where i do have some friends (playing on the way) and then back home. this may just be a pipe dream of mine and acknowledge that, but its something i would like to do. or am i better off handing it over to my brother in law who is a great mechanic, and then just take a road trip to Vegas?
and one last secondary question, totally not a deal breaker just info for my part. how high do the Raptors sit? i have a 99 F-250 4WD (non SD) that is about 2 inches too tall to fit in my garage. its guilt into the house and has a down driveway into it, but i know an 89 (i think) eddie baur bronco fit and a 78 blazer just barely fit.... but my truck wont. i dont have dimensions on the height of my truck, if need be i can check, i wanna say my garage height is like 6'6", as im just under 6 foot and theres definatly not a foot of room over my head... and being the driveway is sloped into the doorway....
and im gonna apologise if this sounds incohernt or too rambling, i am a bit drunk and just found this place, but i do hope to be ordering my Raptor soon, and welcome any input you fine folks might have! and feel free to make jokes about the drunk guy!
