    Wheels and tire setup and why

    I think it looks great but I may be a bit biased.

    Raptor envy?

    Well said. I will never understand the need to be in the fast lane and hold everyone else up on purpose.

    GEN 2 Body panel discoloration

    My white F150 was the same. The plastic parts all had a slight yellow tint and it drove me crazy. Looked dirty. The rear piece is plastic also. I did a little auto body in my past and I believe it’s from the additive to give the paint some elasticity. With no additive the paint would crack...

    Northern Owners - Rust Proofing/Treatment?

    Amsoil HDMP is great. Quick and easy to use and works incredibly well

    Aftermarket Wheels

    I never thought about that. My motorcycle has magnesium wheels which are strong and light. I have not seen any magnesium wheels for the Raptor. I guess they would be cost prohibitive?

    Best discount on Venomrex wheels

    They are light, well made and what I feel is the perfect offset. I am very happy with mine.

    Brakes?

    I am one of the few that feels it brakes really well stock. It seems to brake much quicker and more effortless than my XLT I traded in. I felt the XLT brakes were great but Raptor feels even better.

    Race Red any regrets ?

    I love the race red but sometimes take clients to lunch so went with a more subtle magnetic as the Raptor is pretty intense already. If i did not have to give thought to my older clientele I would definitely went with the red. Looks awesome blacked out

    GEN 2 Need product recommendation for someone with little time or skill

    I have been using colinite wax and it is super easy to put a coat one and it lasts around a year or so. I went from washing once a week to once a month as it stays so clean now. I put 2 coats on my new Raptor the day I took it home and still has zero swirl marks. Even the dreaded window...

    GEN 2 Undercoating

    I coated mine with Amsoil HDMP the same week I bought it. Stuff works great. I used to spend a half hour hosing down the undercarriage everytime I got back from the beach and it still had rust. With my new truck I never hose it off after the beach and it looks like brand new underneath.

    Yes they are VR 601s in mystic black. I am usually a function over form person but I really like the way it looks with 20s

    Speedometer off?

    i just replaced my stock tires with 325/60r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The listed heights say the new tires are 1 inch taller but in reality they are a solid 2 inches taller. After installing them I downloaded a GPS app for my phone to see how much my speedo is off now. It is exactly correct...
