Modifications

Hey all, question with regard to lights. Looking to install and like to know who has had the best luck with what brand.
Also, I recently put these on the truck to help prevent rock chips and hope it improved the look. These came from Rocky Mountain Graphics.

Lastly has anyone put the Borla exhaust on their Raptor. The exhaust will be the upcoming mod but not sold on a particular brand as of yet

After two years of ownership, I have never had a rock chip in the front light area. I am not a fan of red accents on a blue truck, but of you like it that is all that matters.

Baja Designs makes awesome lights for our trucks in all different sizes. They are more expensive than the Chinese knock-offs on Amazon, but well worth it for their brightness and longevity.

There are lots of different opinions on Borla exhaust systems. If you want your truck to be louder, they fit the bill, but do not expect a noticeable HP increase. The best bang for your buck on HP, is a tune from MPT or others.

I agree on the red, been trying to like it but not. Thanks for the info

The red doesn’t work. Looks like a Hot Wheelz edition or something.

Black or yellow could look OK, but I’ve never seen one with the rear lights that looks right, the fronts sure, but the rears always look out of place.

For lights, I and several guys I know have used the Traveler online from Tractor Supply to work well on tractors, atvs and such. I have a set of the cubes on the mine as backup lights, and they work damned well.

Agree, they are coming off today. Been back and forth on this and the input from you all and friends have made this decision a lot easier. I will check out the lights.

+1 for Baja Designs. I have S2 sports for backup lighting and an OnX6+ light bar behind the lower grill. 100% satisfied.

You could always go with a clear piece of vinyl and make it disappear.

Protecting that area is a good idea as I've got 15k on the clock and I've got several chips in those areas.

I guess I have been lucky! Do you drive on gravel roads?

 

[Paul Hamilton]

Yeah, I agree. I took them off ant that is a much better look. I heard that area will take the hits and where I live I am sure they will come at some point.

Thanks, Paul

You have been lucky! And no, I drive primarily on pavement. Though our roads in the DC metro area are constantly under construction, so mines as well be gravel. LOL
