    Damn I am glad I got the Raptor!

    Believe it or not, I got my Raptor because of a really bad back problem. I am a Corvette fanatic and had a Z06 and a 71 vert. I also had this crazy little Mazdaspeed 3 that I used as a daily driver. I had owned trucks/jeeps in the past and wanted one anyway because of the risk of...

    Kinda Cool...

    Driving down the freeway yesteday. I was in the left lane and up ahead of me was a customized Chevy truck. The guy slowed down and moved into the right hand lane. Then as I was passing by, he gave me a big "thumbs-up" out the window. I've seen a number of guys do the "I am forcing myself...

    Holy Smokes - LOUD!

    Since installing the Airaid and Magnapack (14419) a couple of weeks back, I had given it a bit of gas but not really pushed it that heavily. I'm one of those folks who likes knowing I have the power and not really using it unless it's necessary... On the way in to work this morning, I made a...

    Rotating Tires

    I hate (HATE) taking my truck/car into a shop for work I can do myself. I want to rotate the tires on the truck but the height has me a bit concerned. I've got a good jack and some stands. Has anyone done this using jack stands? Got any tips? Thanks

    No Rinse Wash & Shine

    Amazon.com: Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine (ONR) 32oz: Automotive I purchased this stuff a couple of months back when it was cold outside and I was just interested in getting some of the dirt off the hood/sides. I figured I would eventually give it a shot. In effect, it's the same basic...

    Digital Mud - Leave it ON or rip it OFF?

    I'm not sure I'm thrilled with the look anymore. Has anyone removed it from the orange truck? How do you like it off vs. on?

    Not a new member but...

    For the same reason as many other members, I'm gonna start spending more of my time on this forum. I may not have the same level of expertise as some of the other contributors, but I've done a few mods (Rigid lights, etc.) and will be doing others. Anyway, just wanted to say Hi again...

    3rd Brake Light

    The Recon 3rd Brake Light for F-150s does not work properly on the Raptor. The wiring diagram is incorrect. The Raptor also has 3 extra LEDs. I'm sure you can get it to work by monkeying around with wiring combinations. But if you want the 3 stock LEDs, dont bother. I'm sure the product...

    Highest recommendation

    I'm relatively new to this forum (been over on the other one) but have purchased several Rigid lights. I highly recommend these guys and the lights. I've got 4 Duallys on my Raptor now (2 in front, 2 in back) and plan to add the 40" behind-the-grill light at some point.

    Master Blaster

    Not sure if anyone has posted anything on this but figured I'd throw out a recommendation. If you have not seen this, it's an 8HP warm air blower to dry cars/trucks. I had seen recommendations on the corvette forums but was skeptical because of the price. But I finally broke down and went for...

    Bad Problem - Great Resolution

    Early last week, I noticed what looked like a paint bubble on my hood. It was dead center near the windshield. As it got hotter out here, the bubble expanded. I confirmed it was a bubble by pressing on it. Visions of wreaked paint - totally sucked... So late on Thursday I took the truck...

    New Owner

    Just got back from the dealer with a new orange Raptor. The truck is almost fully loaded - everything but the nav system. I had a white truck on deposit but this one came in and I could not pass it up... It is really a killer truck. I was somewhat forced into selling my 6-speed daily...
