    What did u do to your raptor today?

    My gen1 bed is ok but a bed rug will make it purty again. Not installed yet but in the box waiting. My Raptor will be a garage queen, used to haul RC helicopters and planes (the rug material makes it nice to velcro the models to it for transport) and occasionally attend a local cruise night. An...

    Lots of bugs going around this year so have fallen behind on the refurb, but the quality of the fit and finish is top-notch. A great value. Good luck with your Raptor Project. :favorites13:

    Floor mats/liners?

    These look like a great option but I checked both amazon and the 3D site directly entering 2011 Ford F150: 2011 FORD F-150 Reset Sorry, we don't have your vehicle type, please contact us for more information. Contact us > Tried 2014 too... no joy...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Done! The inner skin was dried out and cracking severely in several places. I knew it would just fall apart if I tried to reinstall it as is, so I used foil tape (I believe its used for ductwork and such) to reinforce the badly broken sections. I forgot to take pics of the panel reinstalled...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Agreed. :waytogo: There are a lot of YT videos on the subject, some better than others. Saved me from wasting time on other possible causes. Broken wires in the harness due to flexing of the cables are the cause 95% of the time. :favorites13:

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Troubleshoot rear driver's side door ajar message. If it was just 1 or 2 wires broken I'd fix it but 4 is too many. Replacement harness ordered. Arriving tomorrow. :favorites13:

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Looking good! I was just looking at trim restorers/protectants' reviews and Cerakote always came out on top. My trim has been completely neglected by the previous owners (or the products they used didn't last). Definitely on my to-do list. I look forward to hearing how it's holding up a few...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Yes, I have it. I didn't completely unwrap it yet to keep it protected before installation but from what I can see, the quality is very good. Fedex wrecked the box though but no damage at the break points. However, one of the front corners (near the side body panel) is slightly damaged...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Yup. My ultimate goal is to rehab/refurb her back to as close to the original off-the-assembly-line condition as possible, both in appearance and mechanics (replaced the dried-out K&N filter with a WIX). Got this bumper for a replacement...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Yup...no argument here... Nex says it would make a great boat anchor.... have to agree. Going to leave it at our transfer station (dump) in the free section....not even worth trying to sell it. :shakehead: :favorites13:

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Not today but a few days ago. Removed the awful aftermarket bumper on my new-to-me 2011 screw. Removing it with the lift wasn't a problem but I'll need some help putting the OEM-style replacement on without scratching it... Fortunately, my future son-in-law is up to the task. Some of the nuts...

    Agreed! I did some checking on FB market place and there's one on there like new the guy can't seem to sell after being listed for over a month with one price drop... Not worth the effort lugging this "boat anchor" around so I'll bring it to our transfer station and put it in the "free" pile...

    took some pics yesterday.... nothing award-winning but some good before shots as well as the bumper removal using the lift. She's a little beat up but surely a diamond in the rough... :favorites13:

    "Not really into mods like LED lights and stuff..no night driving if I can help it so don't really care about light ouput.." Plus, that aftermarket stuff is expensive. I'd rather spend the $ on new seat foam and covers. :cheers:

    Soon to be raptor owner in New England

    Thanks Gumby. Yes, it was a bit tedious waiting for everything to finally fall into place but it was well worth the wait. I'm very fortunate. Raptors are quite rare in these parts... I have many parts in the garage and on order, including new head and tail light assemblies. A result of my...

    Thanks for the well wishes... I had planned on keeping all the original parts for the next caretaker, which should be my grandson, but who knows. At 10 he just loves trucks, but his folks are very liberal-minded so he may be driving a Prius by the time he gets his license, heaven forbid...

    No Worries... Iv'e had the chance to get to know him very well and he's a stand-up dude. He is very excited about getting my Firehawk in the trade and plans on keeping her to enjoy rather than flipping it for a profit right away. He doesn't let his salesguy pass on important information... he...
