My Raptor is due to be here on the 28th. Keeping my fingers crossed. Anyway, I have a question about light bar and lights for the front end. Which should I order that will not interfere with the front camera view?

I'm wondering the same thing. Don't have the front camera, but have read many, many threads about leaking etc. The M&R's seem very reasonably priced and I haven't seen anyone reporting leak issues on those, anybody have any feedback. Not to highjack your thread wkeefe, just have the same question.

No problem cage. Not sure I am following you on the leaking issue. I was concerned about lights obstructing camera view.

I've heard the Ford Racing light bar with lights blocks the front camera, but i think you can mount them on the bottom of the bar, who knows. But they do block the camera. Shoulda gotten a 2011. ;)

You are talking about two different products.

Lighting:
Rigid's tend to leak (ask anyone with D2's).
I prefer VisionX.

Bars: What are you looking for? I like the 20" light bar for the lower grill with a VisionX bar in it. Do you want a full bumper replacement or one like Whistler's or one like I have or the Outlaw Raptor hood mounted ones (I have these too..they are awesome).

Things to take into consideration: What are you going to do with your truck? Street driver? Raptor Runs? Forest Roads?

A lot of light products wether they be replacement headlights, taillights, or light bars have reports of water leaking in. I don't care if they replace them (as the more reputable companies have), I don't want to deal with it to begin with.

Everyday driver. Some off roading. Alot of dirt road riding. Want to light it up when needed. I think that the 20" VisionX is going to be the way to go to avoid blocking camera.

How about the Dually fog lights? Or a VisionX bar, you could easily fit a 20" low pro in the lower grill area
