I’m waiting for the sticker shock…

That actually looks great! The front bumper pads look new to. I like the black bumper/skid plate too. Thanks for pushing me into paint mods…

Awesome pics John!

I can’t believe you towed the trailer with the Raptor all the way from CO! I guess that’s how far you have to go to find freedom these days. Nice show, thanks for sharing!

I bought a 2011 with 70k miles at the end of 2018 and it still is much cleaner underneath than that 2014. I would assume it’s because of the environment it was driven in. I installed rebuilt shocks all around and the coils looked clean and in good condition. I wouldn’t worry about swapping the...

So my 2011 with remote start has worked great…until my battery started to die. I would try to remote start and it didn’t work. I replaced the battery and it’s worked like a champ ever since. BTW, my key sequence is lock, start, start. If I press the start button too quickly, it won’t always work.

Sounds like you may have caught a break! Let us know if that solves your problem when you get it back.

Yes, they fit and work fine.

The Gen 1 engine may be heavier but the cam phasers never fail!

I looked at a 2018 and had a pre-purchase inspection done at a Ford dealership. They discovered several expensive issues, cam phasers, moon roof tracks, oil pan leak. Even with Ford paying for a large portion of the cam phaser update, they said it would cost between $3k and $4k to fix the...

Or…would they take the recovered stolen truck to the body shop, make needed repairs and ship it with a quality control message stating they discovered and repaired a “minor issue”? I’m following

Don’t go to Huntersville Ford in Huntersville NC unless you want to pay a $15k mark-up or more! I was in the area and saw they were advertising one for $79k. They confirmed it was in stock. When I tried to confirm the price, I didn’t hear back. I showed up and the price changed to $98k! Another...

I bought an under carriage attachment for my pressure washer that has three spray nozzles on wheels. Low enough to fit under a normal car as well as a truck. Disclaimer, I haven’t ever used it but it looks awesome!

Nice photos John. Hopefully you get the chance to walk the set and get a closer look at what’s left of it.

My pictures can’t compete with yours! I can say the temperatures here are more enjoyable this time of year than your neck of the desert

I realized I took more pics of the truck than of anything else I saw today. Beauty is everywhere.

Went out mountain biking today in Grand County CO and had to drive a few trail miles while I was there. It wasn’t too dusty since it’s been raining a couple of times a week. Still too many people…

I would end up with one that was damaged, recovered and repaired! Only 250 GTA miles on it!

I saw the truck back on the lot awaiting the next sucker. My only hope is that the Ford dealer that completed the inspection noted the issues on the CarFax just as CoronaRaptor mentioned!

Update: After the pre-purchase inspection I learned that the oil pan is leaking, the cam phasers need to be replaced and the pano moon roof tracks need replacement as well as a few more issues found. I went back to the selling dealer with a $4k discount request…silence. Best money spent on a...

Update! Cam Phasers are rattling at start up and need to be replaced. Total price is $3300, all but $1100 is covered until 80k miles. I am planning on getting the low down deal from the dealer to make it worthwhile. Still waiting to pick it up and see if any other issues were found.

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate everyone’s experience and an having a pre-purchase inspection at a Ford dealership. It’s carfax has all the service records, that’s how I know it received the updated flash. I’m going to listen intently when I start in in the morning for any rattle! I’m...

No warranty included in the purchase…

So, I’m in the process of adding a Gen 2 to the garage but I’m worried. Cam phaser fear is real! I found a 2018 built in late 2017 with 73k miles. It had the cam phaser update flash and when I conducted a cold start, I didn’t hear any of the rattle I’ve heard about. I like the truck but it’s out...

You must be done with the renovation work around the house! I’m down for one when you’re ready to go into production!
