    Front hood decal removal/replacement

    So my hood decals are toast. See attached picture. The truck is over 4 years so my concern is discoloration due to fading after decals have been removed. I am not opposed to adding a new OEM decal but, I would prefer not to. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

    Sunroof noise troubleshooting -have already used Krytox as per TSB

    I hear the creaking noise during normal driving. The noise will go away if I vent the sunroof. So I used Krytox and silicone spray around all seals of sunroof including fixed back panel as per TSB and searching the forums. Sunroof opens/closes perfectly fine. I had the sunroof replaced 18...

    Withdrawal symptoms & Service question

    Thanks for all the input. Long story short I had made an appointment through a service rep for the cam phaser and some other minor issues. She scheduled the appt 2 weeks out so that they would have a heads up on what the vehicle was coming in for. So on the day of my appt I took vehicle in and...

    Beadlock wheels

    I purchased a 2018 Raptor a couple of weeks ago. It was fully loaded except for beadlock wheels. I do off-road quite a bit and was trying to get a consensus on how many people have actually used their beadlock wheels for off reading? I do like the look of the wheels and was trying to find them...

    2018 with my name on it.

    Well after tons of research and getting alot of helpful replies from this forum I finally pulled the trigger on 2018 Magnetic loaded with 9100 miles. I had found a 2019 that I was about to purchase for a very good price (below invoice). However a friend/sales rep called that they took a 2018 in...

    Decisions for new Raptor

    You guys in this forum are flat out awesome. I don't know of many forums including the Hummer forum (which I have been a member of since 2007) that people really cared enough to reply with their personal experiences. I am definitely still in the hunt for a Perf. blue with recaros and...

    Decisions for new Raptor

    So this is where the dilemma is recaro with Alcatra durability comfort, and maintenance. I have an 05 Hummer H2 with leather that is still in good condition (135000 miles). I use a leather conditioner every 3 to 4 months-very easy to clean/maintain. I agree the regular seats are very comfy-...

    Decisions for new Raptor

    This is great info. It is hard to pass on a fully loaded Raptor with 7300 off MSRP. The recaros including beadlocks and tech package without stickers comes in about 74000 and invoice I am estimating 69000. So hopefully I can find a dealer that will discount close to that or just go with...

    Decisions for new Raptor

    I would like to say that this forum has been extremely helpful in with all the resources for what to expect with a new Raptor purchase. Enough so that I am close to pulling a trigger on a new 2019 that has been discounted by 7300 after dealer add on (alarm tint!etc). Based on research here on...
