I just got back a few months ago from a tour in Liberia, Africa which is very similar. There were exactly 2 blue Raptors in the entire country.

Both owned by local (ex) warlords turned "contractors."

I'll be spending some of my time in Liberia too.

Malaria pills are already on standby. Air and the winch are both things I was considering adding to the bed. Not sure about bumpers as I can really get those made in country.

Window sticker in hand!! waiting on my eta, but I should pick up the truck early April!!

Still having a hard time deciding what to do first. Definitely want a rack for the bed, an extra spare wheel and tire, and maybe bumpers.

Anything going on raptor run wise around the US in April?

Now I have my plane ticket to the US...too bad I have a couple weeks of training...otherwise I would be out driving this beast come April 2nd. At least I now have insurance lined up along with my shipment to Ghana.

Ugh, waiting is starting to get terrible. The Raptor is heading to NC by train as we speak!

I know I'm just adding post after post in my own thread, but I don't care. My SCAB is days away from the dealer where I am picking it up, but I am still 6 weeks away from seeing it!!

Looks like my first mod is going to be a bed rack. First accessory has to be a cooler/tent. 6000 mile road trip to start days after vehicle pickup. going to have to do break in service on the fly and take a lot of back roads instead of interstates for a healthy break in. :-D :-D
