Congrats! And that road you are on looks fun.

My new favorite color since I finally saw one in person recently.

What I like about performance blue is that it changes color depending on the light.

Welcome and congrats! Now that’s how we should have all intro’d our new Raptors, Dirty!!!

No desert running or hills down south. I’ve learned there have been events in Ocala forest though. What county has landed that new Rap?

Miami-Dade county, South East of Florida.

I used to go to Ocala and play in some abandoned rock quarries. Don’t mind driving to have some dirty fun!

Welcome and congrats. Any idea of mods for the future?

Ufff, tons of ideas!

This time I am taking it slow and enjoying every step of the transformation. Tend to jump in and change as much as I can at once....

So far have done:
1- Tints
2- Tonneau
3- Safe in the center console
4- Sprint Booster

Next:

1- Try and do a powder coating on the wheels, dark bronze (dislike any chrome on my vehicles)
2- Tune engine/trans for sure (way way to many choices out there)
3- Lights for the rear (tints a little to dark for the night)

Let’s see what happens next...

Yea the extra lights in the rear were a must after tinting. Got these at Northern for abt 13 bucks but they do the trick.

so I could turn them to light up the tire area better if I need to. I started to but when I looked at the angle it was easier to mount them at this spot. The beaver tail protects them good and if they ever bottomed out which I doubt the replacement cost is next to nothing.
I know most Raptor guys go the expensive route but I'm retired first and frugal so it was a no-brainer to jump on these lights. I also figured if Northern Tools carried them they must be decent and so far they have been.
I connected them to the aux switch so they don't light up if I don't need them

Didn’t think about the advantage of swinging the light to shine under the truck. Now I am not sure where I want them.
