Okay fine, Antimatter Blue. Signature Navy, as Lincoln calls it just sounds better. Moving on...
Hello (again) formally, FRF-Community!
I see a ton of new usernames here, some I do not see that I was used to back in the day, though this place is still such a wealth of information. Glad to be back, although I've been back on the site for a few months since picking up my '22 Antimatter Blue 37PP. I had a '23 on order in Azure Gray, though I canceled that one when I ran across my current truck, used, in another state, with just 2,000 miles.
This is the fourth Raptor I've owned after my first 2010 Tuxedo Black Supercab 6.2, my second 2011 Ingot Silver Crewcab, and my third 2013 Tuxedo Black Crewcab. In between, there's been a Focus ST, Edge ST, three Mustangs (still have one of them), an F150 FX4, an Audi, (still have the) Lincoln, three motorcycles, and on and on. Extremely happy and grateful to be back in a Raptor and back in the continental USA as well as even back in the USA period.
That said, this'll be a thread that I try to keep updated with things I do to the truck to personalize it to my taste and use case. Already have done some, so let's dig in. The truck came equipped with what appears to be the BakFlip of sorts triple-section hard tonneau with the Ford logo. Inside the bed, I've installed the Bedrug Classic Bedliner. I have a bed extender from Levittown on the way that the factory keeps messing up, this one will be my third and hopefully, it works. If not I'll come up with my own solution similar to this. Lastly for the inside of the bed, I got this awesome 80qt powered 12v cooler for the road trips and grocery hauls from Sam's/Costco/Etc. Inside the cabin, I have front and rear Weathertech Floorliner HP protection and have treated most surfaces during the ceramic process.
I also have had the paint corrected, completely wrapped in gloss SunTek PPF with S&P ceramics on top and GlassParency on all glass.
Other than that, I've done all the usual modifications within FORScan that most of us on here do. Utilizing the forums and knowledge here on FRF as well as Linvitup's Spreadsheet to enable the following:
Functional/Protection wise, I've gathered up some parts which are still awaiting installation. Some are ready to go, some are at the powder coating shop. Here's a breakdown of what I have so far:

- Glare-Free Headlights
- Quiet Time Start Schedule
- DRL's include Parking Lights and Fogs (although nothing is hooked to fogs at this time)
- Fogs stay on with High Beams (Bambi Mode)
- Double Horn Honk Disable (when leaving the key inside running vehicle)
- Changed from 3 to 4 blinks on turn signal lane change
Functional/Protection wise, I've gathered up some parts which are still awaiting installation. Some are ready to go, some are at the powder coating shop. Here's a breakdown of what I have so far:
- Ford Performance Rear Differential cover
- Lube Locker Gasket for the Differential cover
- SwarfWorks Trailing Arm Guards
- Foutz Motorsports Rear Differential Skid Plate
- Foutz Motorsports Full-Length Aluminum Shock Guards
- Foutz Motorsports Rear Lower Shock Skid Plates
