    2017 Stereo upgrade

    I thought I would document my system upgrade. Step one, full sound deadening. I used Kilmat 80mil on floor and back wall of cab. Then I did 80mil inside and outside on the doors and 50mil on the back of the door panels. I also replaced the plastic sheet on the doors with ABS block off...

    It's always a good experience when buying from Rick. I have made a few purchases from him, with the most recent being Deavers and RPG BSK. I always get a good deal and he responds quickly to any questions and keeps me in the loop. I would highly recommend him. If you need anything for your...

    Cheap towels

    I would never use these on my paint, but they make great shop towels and the price is hard to beat. I bought every one they had at my Wal-Mart. 132 microfiber towels for under $30. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Microtex-Platinum-Series-Microfiber-Detail-Towels-Extra-Large-12-count/109526255

    Detailing product reviews

    I originally intended this to be a review of a few AMMO NYC products I tried but decided to rate the other products in my arsenal as well. Let me say that this is my opinion only and your results may vary. I truly believe that when it comes to detailing, there is not magic solution. While you...

    Color Matched Shocks

    Bump Stops

    Doing some research on bump stop kits and they all seem to be pretty comparable. Here is what I found on each website: RPG- • 3 times thicker than the stock frame • Strengthens whole rear frame, not just the weak sections • Big enough and Strong enough to run 4″ long airbumps to increase...

    Best tire dressing applicator ever

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003V9JZYE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Tried this out tonight and it is amazing. I love Adams Polishes VRT on my tires but it's so hard to apply on off road tires with large side lugs. Normally I use sponge applicators and the lugs just...

    Ipod classic not responding

    So I have an iPod classic and I generally leave it plugged into the truck. I've done this in my wife's Edge Sport with MFT and never had any issues. However with the Raptor it seems that at least 3 times a week it will come up with "USB device has stopped responding" and when I unplug it the...

    Baja Designs Fog light install

    I installed my Baja Designs fog light. The brackets are heavy duty and well designed. I still need to aim them and get some night shots. I couldn't be happier with them. Thanks Rick@FreedomMotorsports. I wont go into the wiring since I wired mine to use one switch for each set. S2 Pro wide...

    Rock lights

    So a guy at work is telling me I need to get rock light for my truck. I don't see the point. Seems like lights just for the sake of lights. Does anyone run them? If so, why? Any benefits? Any downside?

    Town and Country Raptor

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DJU3a069O4A At 10:27 he actually says that the reason the 2017 Raptor has an Ecoboost is because of the electric power steering for the lane keeping assist. That's the funniest thing I've heard all week.

    Advantages of 2016 Delivery

    So I see a lot of folks saying that they need to take delivery before the end of the year. Is there some financial benefit? At this point, I'm actually hoping to take delivery on 1/2/17 so that I don't have to pay personal property taxes on it until 2018. Am I missing out on something that...

    Billet Badge

    Anyone have this? Ford Licensed Oval - Brushed & Machined Carbon I'm thinking that it should match the F150 and Raptor badge on the tailgate pretty well.

    I finally got my 2017 Raptor

    Of course they messed up the order. I ordered Ruby Red SCREW not a Lightning Blue SCAB. I sure hope my SCREW has more room than this.

    Full detail ...not a Raptor

    While patiently waiting for my 2017 Raptor to arrive, I decided to gi the wife's 2011 Edge Sport a full detail. It came out pretty good for a car that lived outside up until this summer. The one downside is that it is more noticeable than ever that the factory Ford Red Candy Tint Metallic...

    That has never happened

    I actually, quite accidentally, have memorized my VIN. After typing so many times, I now know it by heart. This has never happened before. Has anyone else had this happen?
