    Whipple ordered. Thx JDM!

    Never been more excited to spend this much money. Ordered a Whipple Stage 2 kit, traction bars, and boost gauge. Wanted to thank Jim III for being very helpful and answering all my questions over several weeks before pulling the trigger. The next 4 weeks will be tough waiting for my blower...

    Your Raptors Audio System

    If I've upgraded to the Kicker VSS powered sub and now want to add a processor and all new speakers can I still use the Kicker as my sub?

    SC questions

    I really appreciate the info MTF. I actually wanted the Whipple but my driving habits had me leaning towards the Roush. I will most likely lean towards the stage 2 Whipple. Will definitely upgrade the leaf springs.

    SC questions

    I just turned 5k on my 2014 and looking to SC. From all the information and disinformation I've sifted thru over the last month I was hoping some of you guys who are more knowledgeable can confirm some observations. Comparing the Whipple and Roush 650 JDM kits: Roush performs better low and...

    Got some pics of my Ruby Red

    The Roll X is awesome. Installation is a breeze. When rolled up from the back of the roll to the front of the bed is 12".

    Got some pics of my Ruby Red

    They were taken by Buddy Birdwell who specializes in automotive photography. As far as mods, I have done the exhaust and really like the Roll X I installed. I am looking at doing a 40" light bar in the grill and Nav TV. I probably won't do anything else for a while but the more time I spend...

    Got some pics of my Ruby Red

    The truck was trashed when it was delivered to the dealership. It was coated in salt and brine. We have an incredible detail shop here in town so I took it there and then had some pics taken. Let me know what you guys think.

    Raptor Transport & Delivery

    I don't think there is anything different about the delivery. Mine was delivered from the rail yard by transport with other vehicles waiting to be delivered. It was on the top of the hauler. I would think it would be a bitch to get it in and out from the bottom.

    ruby red with painted flares

    I think it looks good but I prefer stock better. The painted flares seem to hide some of the trucks width. I do not like the painted bumpers!

    Transit time updates?

    I followed the updates as it checked in at rail stations and was fortunate that the terminal was only 13 miles from the dealer. It arrived late Sunday night and the transport company took it to the dealer on the Tuesday load. It took about 2-1/2 weeks to get from Dearborn.

    How many miles did your special order raptors already have on them?

    I was there when they pulled mine off the transport and it had 7. After PDI, when I actually took ownership it had 13.

    Cant decide on color - so what has the best resale?

    I think some colors would hurt resale more than others would help. I think a color that appeals to more people would be more desirable for a dealer to put more money in to a trade or attract more potential buyers. According to PPG currently it would be: 1.White 2.(tie) Silver and Black...

    Is anyone using the TonnoPro Hard Fold?

    Wondering if anyone has any experience with this cover. Priced between the costs of the soft tri folds and the hard tri folds. I am looking for a cover with no tracks or drain lines but had concerns with water getting between the panels at the seals. Seems the TonnoPro fixed that with...

    What's the going rate for front window tint?

    $57 for ATR20, $70 for CXP20, or $107 for Formula1 Pinnacle 20. I've used ATR and Pinnacle before and they both match the back windows.
