    GEN 2 Install Retrax PowerTraxPro XR

    That's a very good point. They definitely block out some room beneath the canister. A much more clever design is in order. How much water goes down those tubes? It seems pretty well sealed so even in a downpour I wouldn't think you'd get a lot of water draining. But what do I know,...

    GEN 2 Install Retrax PowerTraxPro XR

    Installed the the Retrax PowerTraxPro XR today. Instructions say it's a two person job. So, of course, I did it alone. Smashed 3 fingers and I'm not in the hospital so I'm considering this a success. Easy install. Spent a good amount of time routing the wire harness from the battery back to...

    2019 Raptor ceramic coated

    Looks fabulous!! I was pondering using orange in the headlight area and it's great to see what it looks like with a vibrant red on Velocity Blue. Getting my ceramic coat soon and appreciate the post!

    Wide body build

    Awesome to see work like this. I don't care what it is and whether it's my particular taste or not -- mods, imagination and execution are exciting to watch!! Anxious to watch this one make progress. :favorites13:

    Faster steering?

    I'm with you, Frank. I've noticed the same thing,... a lot of steering wheel travel for not a lot of turn. Getting used to it, but wish it was a MUCH faster ratio. I would buy a faster replacement rack in a heartbeat!!!

    GEN 2 New Raptor, sharing space with a Gwagen.

    Thanks for all the kind words. Yes, the Gwagen is an ancient anomaly. The Raptor and the Gwagen are unique characters, no doubt. Totally different driving experiences. 563hp in the Gwagen and it's a luxo box that hauls like hell. The Raptor feels huge and the ride and performance are...

    GEN 2 New Raptor, sharing space with a Gwagen.

    After a long time contemplating, I finally picked up a Raptor this evening. Drove it home and did my first "off road hill climb." Not exactly Pikes Peak but it's all I've got at the moment. :) Brought out the Gwagen for a little comparison since both are subtle colors. o_O They are totally...

    Another in DFW.

    I’ve never, ever wanted a pickup. But now I need a Raptor. Go figure. My last Ford was a 1967 Mercury Cougar.;) I was attending an event and took an off-road ride with Joey Logano in a new Raptor. Freaking. Absolutely. Ruined. Me. This truck is amazing. So now the Gwagon gets a Raptor...
