And just like that, another satisfied member of FRF has his problems solved...

I'm going to add on for what should help somebody out in the future. As Pinky said, these CSI surveys are like gold to the dealer and it only takes one bad one to jack up your whole month. Here's how you play this (sorry, a little late for the OP) You have a crap experience and you can either...

So I came across a picture recently of a white gen 1 like mine that had the factory hood and bedside graphics in all black but it had some orange accessories and decided I liked the combo. After looking at the cost of some of these hood and bedside decals, I ordered a roll of 1/4" orange vinyl...

I think it's neat on some, especially the red, but I like the contrast on my Oxford white. Depends on the car/truck sometimes. I had all black E36 M3s because I didn't like the look of the black body molding on other colors, opposite on the ol' IROC-Z where the black fake hood vents and t-tops...

No, no and no! I have more respect for FRF than to defile it with the opposite of the "rated smokin' hot" thread.

This. Ours were both towels but same idea. Worked very well, seats started clean and scuff/damage free

I am far from an expert, but I'm going with "stuff that happens when you have 4wd engaged on pavement and shouldn't." Used to get all manner of destruction when I worked at a stealership years ago and people would leave 4WD engaged on pavement.

Not to worry, it's an old mechanics trick to "prove" that they actually worked on your vehicle. Check for some oily smears on your upholstery and hand/finger-prints on your hood, right dead center on the front so you can't miss it; more dead giveaways. Seriously though, curious to see the...

Where did you order the valve covers from?

The other that they sell at American trucks is a "Barricade" and when Googled "USA made winches" came across "Ramsey" as well.

No, both wire

Searching I'm finding a ton of posts on badlands the place but only some classified sales on Badlands winches. I'm pretty much sold on Rough Country 12,000 lb winch and mount but just saw a Badlands 12,000 lb one for a hundred dollars less with one of the Harbor Freight coupons? Any thoughts...

I really loved the original Raptor R and then the molten orange production version and was thinking I'd pay homage to those with some rappy graphics. Not quite as I envisioned it in my head though. I do really like the subdued flag on the tailgate "Ford" though.

Yeah, they get ugly if they're neglected, want to keep them nice.
