Put whatever you get on the bottom side of the step so that the holes are filled, but then you don’t have a damn giant piece of diamond plate showing. Leave that for the West Coast Choppers crowd... Maybe consider some black delrin/acetal sheet, or powder coated black aluminum sheet cut to size.

Do what I did and use a rented box truck. You know the big ones with the lift gate in the back? Damn thing weighed like 12,000 lbs empty. I happened to be moving at the time, so pulling the stump was an added bonus, but it worked really well.

They won’t be able to steal your cat, but they will be so pissed that they might run the saw down the side of your truck before they leave...

Here, this thread I created when I bought mine lays it all out for you: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/info-for-californians-who-buy-out-of-state.67357/

You do not need to get it weighed if you have the certificate of origin. The California DMV explicitly says this on their website. The COO is the birth certificate of the vehicle.

It’s not an issue. I did it, and did a lot of research on the DMV rules to ensure I was following the them to a T. You can search my thread. Buy from anywhere you want in the US. The process is the same even if had the CA sticker and you buy out of state.

I bought 4 black bath towels, folded them in 3rds, and put one below and one behind each car seat. You really don’t even see them in there and they wash easy.

About $2500 in materials for all 18 (assuming they used grade 2 and it is 1/4” thick), plus labor. But, if they were smart, they cut the center out with waterjet and they can reuse that for another project. It’s a bitch to machine, but they don’t have more than $500 total into each one is my guess.

Smoked deer sounds pretty good TBH.

You’re probably right. Ford doesn’t know what wire gauge to use with what amperage rating. Best to go to an overly complicated relay box. Kidding aside, using a relay box is not wrong, but it does add a lot complexity that then results in more opportunity for failure. If someone wants to...

Super easy to remove the tailgate.

I don’t know. It’s honestly kinda lame, especially the notion of “future classic.” The whole thing just feels cluttered and obscure without some externally provided context or knowledge.

The “sheeple” can only get PB at this point...

Velocity blue on a Raptor is like eating McDonalds on Christmas. So many better choices...

Do you have the same wheels as before? Or do they have a different offset?
