As Jason mentioned, Saturday morning I left something behind before I was even on the road 30 minutes. Fueling up just outside of town I noticed something was definitely amiss with the look of my Raptor. I had to drive the entire day (and night) looking like this

and worrying about getting pulled over by the po po for having no rear plate. We kinda expect our trucks might look like this on the way back from a Jump Run, but not both coming and going. Now I know how Rasco rolls lol.

So I tried to make sure there was another Raptor behind me on the highway, and of course it didn't matter anymore once we got there

On this kind of run, you're mostly gonna get pics from the front anyways

Thankfully got home ok without any highway patrol issues, and the next day told my wife I was going looking for it. Really? says she looking at me like I was nutz. What if trucks had been taking turns running over it?

But I head out anyway and halfway out of town what do I spy over on the RIGHT shoulder of the road... could it be? (I had been doing 100 in the left HOV lane trying to catch up with the Raptor convoy which had already departed).

Hells yeah! There it was... mine all mine - a bit scraped up on the edges but intact and the plate didn't look any worse for the wear.

So I snapped it back on and firmly secured it with two bolts below the plate so that bitch never gets away again.

Looks just fine with maybe a tad bit more character and a funny story to go with it - a keeper for sure haha.
