    A very special day!

    The key to keeping it looking brand new isnt based on how much time it spends in the garage...To keep her looking showroom new I always used Plexus every few days on just about everything except the tires. 303 Aerospace on the bumpers wheels and tires. About 10 minutes to spray and wipe the...

    2020 scab 800a

    I have a Diamond deluxe 2 dog box in the back of my scab for my dogs and hunting gear. That way they won't end up with heat stroke if I need to stop somewhere. On longer trips like St. Louis to Maine they lay on a moving blanket in front of the back seat enjoying the A/C. When it is cold...

    A very special day!

    Mine was August 15,2009. Love the Orange. Best color ever. It was the 76th Raptor off the line. Lucky me the first hundred trucks got $1500 from Ford moter performance center. And a big shout out to Dave Sinclair Ford for selling it to me for $38,000. Many were selling the same truck for mid...

    ADD stealth fighter rear bumper rusting

    This is clearly a case of improper cleaning to prep the surface before it was painted. The world's best coatings are worthless when they are applied to a contaminated surface.

    Water wading anyone? With the 2017 Raptor water is definitely your friend. This vehicle is designed to operate in water 32" deep in the forward direction. Reverse gets you 30" This should help rinse off a bit of mud if you have a bad encounter. So just where is this on the truck...

    A few shots of a Raptor outside my kitchen window today. No mods needed!!!! Yes, the back still has pogo seats. They dont lock in the open position. Anyone in the back can pop up and down in rhythm with the bumps.

    I never buy gas in Illinois. Its 20 cents cheaper across the river. They didn't take our guns away... I have a dozen gun shops within 10 miles of the house. That's not counting the Wal Mart one mile away. Had my concealed carry for years. Illonisians love gunpowder and lead...

    Mud, Running boards, and spare tire. The running boards have 3 rows of cut-outs that remind me of 45 caliber bullets. Very nice! You get 9 up front, a small flat area, 33 in the middle, and a flat area with Raptor at the tail end. Is this beauty another mud magnet? Well, Im not sure. It...

    First lets take a look at the visors. They are huge and should do a great job blocking unwanted glare. When rotated to the side window it now slides aft up to 6 inches. That should be a big help. No more hunching over to align your head to the visor. Since I'm not a big fan of warning labels...

    I saw a couple at LLBEAN in Maine with a black Raptor. They had 2 worn out Munsterlander on board. They had a busy day grouse hunting. That was quite a treat to run into another Raptor with Munsters. They were with another hunting buddy and he had a white Raptor! We picked the perfect day...

    Lets look at the back of the Raptor again. Yes, I did get a license plate frame from the best dealer in the midwest. I switched it out for the one you see here. Since the Illinois plate has red letting on the bottom (land of Lincoln) I choose a carbon fiber frame with red along the bottom...

    Today I have another look under the hood. We got to see some glorious sunshine today, pictures are better. What you're seeing is a large 1 inch thick neoprene cover sitting on top of the engine. It sits directly below the 19"x30" hood louvers. Also on the left side of the vehicle you can...

    GEN 2 why doesn't ford sell trailers too?

    What I would really love would be Ford getting back into avaition. The Ford tri motor was a beauty!!! I would trade my old Mooney Executive for a Ford Raptor Airplane in an instant. The new model should be equipped with optional skis for snow and of course floats to explore new fishing...

    Published weight capacity numbers are based on trucks built with the lightest weight options available. Think cloth seats, no heavy spray in bed liner, no subwoofer, no tonneau cover, no tailgate step, no heated / cooled seats, no memory steering column, no large capacity fuel tank, no extra...

    GEN 2 why doesn't ford sell trailers too?

    Raptors need trailers that say Raptor? Just like Harley-Davidson riders need Ford trucks that say Harley-Davidson. So now I guess I need to find a motorcycle that says Raptor or Ford. What's the big hold up? Let's get with it Ford!!!!!

    Hope all you guys are over the shock of the dreadful load capacity of our Raptors. Its a dirty secret Ford hopes is never noticed. You definitely wont find them bragging that 7 years of Raptor development resulted in a 13 pound improvement. Just like you will not see any bragging over the 3mph...

    Years ago you could just hang your rifle and shotgun in the back window gun rack. Remember how convenient and handy it was? Now the shotgun often is on the floor mixed in with the muddy boots and dead birds. Now back to the Raptor. I noticed the new redesigned/smaller front seat headrest...

    The 899 total weight for cargo and occupants is the real deal. That is why accident lawyers are so successful. Notice the tag says the weight SHOULD NEVER EXCEED!!!!!! That 899 pounds includes any weight you have added from stock. It even includes the floor mats. Makes it soo easy to...
