    Raptor Recaro Opinion Poll

    Have in the Blue Recaro in my Gen 2. Done 10 1,000mi drives with it (cross country & down south). And have kids making a mess in the back. The alacantra blue inserts look brand new. The black leather is showing wear w/ 20k miles total and no doubt the weaker of the two materials (discolors...

    Overland set up questions

    I've got the Retrax XR with mounts on top of the rails for racks. While i really like the retrax (rolls up, locks, secure, etc.), mine leaks. For about 1 foot closest to the tailgate, water weeps around the rails and drips instead of running along the rail to the front (as it was designed)...

    Raptor R - Will you be buying this beast.

    For me, no V8. But the great thing about autos is people like what they like and many different things are cool. Me, I like sports cars an am more of a 911 guy than a hellcat guy. Nothing wrong with acceleration & 1/4 mile runs but I like going around a curve as fast as possible. In my...

    Best bike rack

    Yak, Thule, 1up & Kuat are all solid choices. If you have carbon bikes, I’d recommend tire mounts. Personally, I use a Kuat hitch on my Jeep and Yakima over the bed of the Raptor (can carry up to 5 bikes depending on configuration; I leave it set up for 4). Happy with both. On the Kuat, I...

    GEN 2 Bicycle in cabin?

    For short trips, bike goes on the bed rack which sits above a rolling, metal and lockable tonneau cover. For long trips (10hrs+ of driving), road bike goes into a Scicon travel bag and is either in the cab or the bed. MTB lives outside on the rack. However, after 20hrs+ on the rack at highway...

    Time for 1st oil change!!! Which oil and why!

    I do every 5k with Mobil 1. Reason being 1) I can see every 5k easy on the odometer and 2) Mobil 1 has never let me down, including in multiple race cars. No doubt 5k is more often than necessary and I suspect other oils are "better" (Amsoil, Pennzoil Platinum, Redline, Shell Delvac, etc.)...

    Performance Blue Owners Pictures

    Here’s 2 shots of same PB truck in sun & clouds: Of course, I have decision owner’s bias, but I like the color and would buy it again. It’s a “dull” blue and does remind me of he 60s dull blue Shelby used on race cars of the era. Despite is being a glossy, metal-flake paint, the color almost...

    Oxford white, performace blue or magnetic

    I'm biased: Perf Blue + Blue Recaros. Sharp. The white is also very sharp (and I don't like white vehicles). The black accents make it pop.

    GEN 2 RetraxPro RX

    I have the Pro XR (with a bike rack on top). Did the install myself, followed the instructions (Including slight angle on the rails). Bone dry, despite some heavy downpours over the last month. No extra weather striping. I’d expect leakage around the tailgate when parked nose down in a...

    Great deals coming down the pike after the Apocalypse???

    Sure: 67999 vs. 74754 MSRP. Invoice was 69663. Invoice is roughly 93% of invoice. Options can make that move a bit as they are 91% of MSRP. If you do a little digging on sites like TrueCar or Edmunds, invoice pricing is relatively easy to find. The more challenging part is "holdback" or...

    Great deals coming down the pike after the Apocalypse???

    "long time listener, first time caller...." Just pulled the trigger and joined the club, so here's a little real-time data. First, I was looking for a very particular combination: Performance Blue, Blue Recaro interior, bead-lock, 802A and NO sunroof. If I could have budged on the sunroof or...
