Hello from San Diego

[TrailRunner]

Hey everyone!

New member here living in the San Diego area. I’ve had my 2012 SVT Raptor for a little over a year and have been a longtime lurker on the forum.

I’m also a big enthusiast of Jeeps, rock crawlers, sport bikes, guns, pellet grilling, and camping/backpacking. Hope to meet some of you out on the trails and learn from the wealth of knowledge in the Raptor community!

Welcome to the place, congrats on a beautiful gen 1, but we need a bigger picture, not just an avatar. Can't make out the rims or headlights very well.

Here’s one from a recent trip.

When I bought the truck it came with the rims and LED lights. What really sold me, however, was the blue trim interior. I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I really like it on the gen 1’s.

I also bought the truck with Magnaflow exhaust, K&N air filter, and bed cover…. All came unadvertised. Unfortunately it also came with some rust issues which also weren’t advertised.

That’s a sweet Gen 1 and welcome aboard. Some good interests you have as well. Some must be getting tougher to practice I imagine. Have fun out there.

The blue trim on the Gen 1's is nice! Sorry about the rust issues, is it the rockers or cab corners or both?

Yes and yes… unfortunately, the rust is pretty extensive. I guess my only option is to cut the bed frame and install new long travel suspension components lol

Well, a guy can get all the parts to do it himself, take a welding course if need be, a lot cheaper than paying a shop to do the work. You can rent a welder too. Keep us posted.
