Modifications

Thanks for input gents. As for the graphics I just wasn’t a fan, thought I would be. It reminded me of KU COLORS. I am lookin at other colors and will update.
But best of all the info on lights was helpful.

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

I’ve got the Borla ATAK mid pipes. I’ve done a bunch of mods and the Borla ATAK is by FAR my favorite. I absolutely love the exhaust note. It’s quiet when cruising but pure music when you punch it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...but admittedly, exhaust notes are a personal preference. I spent an inordinate amount of time on line with my headphones on listening to different vendors. If you don’t have access to a Gen 2 Raptor with the exhaust you’re interested in, listen with Headphones (do not rely on speakers on your phone or iPad) to good quality recordings like the one below. Good Luck but I hope I’ve convinced you to get the Borla...its fantastic:

ps - I’d go to the lighting section for recommendations. That’s another one that’s personal. Best but most expensive will be the Rigid Industries or Baja Designs. F150LEDS has some good products to consider highly rated by many on this forum quite a bit cheaper than Rigid or Baja though lumen output not quite as high.

I’m leaning toward doing the Rigid Radiance 360 package with the “Scene” upgrade cuz I love the look and the amount of lighting the “scene” upgrade gives for the bumper gaps on the corners. Since they don’t throw long distance, I’m planning on either a Baja designs S8 behind grill kit or bumper mounted either Rigid SR or F150LEDS paladin neither of which block the front camera too much. Debating behind the lower grill F150LEDS double row paladin or the Baja designs behind the grill OnX6 kit. I’d avoid no-name lights from eBay. Seen tons of comments about them leaking and failing. Not something you want to do twice (at least I dont’).

Note, you can get the Baja designs kits cheaper through other vendors.

Great info, thank you. Always been a fan of Borla, but I know there is so much out there to pick from.

Talked to a dealer who sells Rigid and Baja designs lights. He recommended BD

 

[Rednose]

You cant go wrong with BD lights, my only advise is to meet a fellow member that runs a BD front and rear lights setup to figure out how you want to mount your lights on your truck these lights aren't cheap and you don't want to over spend on these lights if you don't need them. I would be happy to show my lights but I am sorry I am on the other side of the world. But I am pretty sure ,many fellow members are willing to help you good luck with your choice.

One more thing please loose red graphics they really look bad on the truck.

 

[Paul Hamilton]

They are off. I will go with a clear. Thanks for the information. I have looked at several different companies with lights and BD seem to be the logical choice. Stay safe out there and appreciate the info.
