I just got done running the wire and drilling the hole in the upfitter box for the switch.
I used a steak knife to make a "X" in the unused part of the giant grommet that the upfitter wires (and a crapload of other wires) use to get into the cab. Then I used an old metal coat hanger to fish...
Due to a slight over sight on my part (I have not had anything worth taking to a track for some time and moving away and the moving back to Angelo)...
San Angelo Dragway's Website
The Drag Strip closed... :-(
Sorry guys, maybe when I visited San Antonio I will run it.
I am really not into racing my Raptor. It just my expensive DD.
I will not be doing this anytime soon (The guy want $1700 for it and that is CRAZY!) So I am going to wait until more companies have the bumper style I like which I assume will drive prices down. Most full bumper replacements of...
I am glad everyone liked my "mod".
And just remeber the tint paint is VERY brittle so after you 'tint' it make sure it looks the way you like it to. If you don't like it, because of runs in the paint or whatever, now is the time to start over (before the clear coat).
Heck I screwed up the...
I have ran my Raptor through one of these with no ill effects. I ran it with the mirrors folded and the antenna off twice and the last time had the mirrors out and antenna on, and it pushed the drivers mirror in.

So just find a auto wash with no tracks on the ground and you should...
See now that is what I was hoping...
What about the giant bundle of wires that the Upfitter wires run in?
Could I smuggle the Cutout wire in the cab with these wires??
Or even cut a hole in to the rubber that these wires run through?
I just don't like making holes in perfectly good...
My Raptor buying story:
5/19/11 - Posted 03 SCrew FX4 with 162,xx miles on it on CL for $8500
5/20/11 - Get email from prospective buyer.
5/21/11 - Make contact via phone with prospective buyer, he comes by to see my FX4. It is still dirty and I wasn't expecting to be showing it so soon. He...
I should be getting my DMH Cutout some time this week.
A local exhaust shop will do the welding and I will do the wiring for it.
Can anybody give me some insight on the route I should take to bring the wires into the cab of the truck?
I plan on putting the switch in the same location as...
Wow, just wow. That was the most itellegent anti-my opinion I have EVER read. No Sarcasm at all. Very nice sir. Well thought out and informative.
And yes El Paso is def West Texas. No doubt there. But to me that is more south New Mexico, as far as terrain. (I also think of Beaumont and Orange...
My buddy's truck is an 03 DSG with intake, cat back, smaller pulley, and Diablosport 91 Pulley tune. I know he will do fine.
But I wanna know what 'features' I should turn off/on when I run on the track?
Me and my Lightning-owning friend, are gonna make a trip to the local drag strip this weekend.
Now I know I don't have a chance against his Lightning, so while out there I was gonna find some other car more my speed to play with.
And yes I know my Raptor is not a "on-road racer".
But...
....Not alot of Texans on here is there?.....
If I am going to spend around a G for a 'new' bumper, when there is nothing actually 'wrong' with my stock bumper, I wanna get something that can not only improve the cosmetics of the truck, but also help my wallet.
If I had this bumper on my...
I will check on the weight. But I would very seriously doubt 200-300lbs, the ranchhand bumper of similar looks for the regular 09-current F150 is only 170lbs.
And I don't like the pre-runners because they look weak and lacking side pieces make them look misproportional in comparision to the...
So I have been emailing "Tough Country" in El Campo, TX about getting them to make a "ranch-style" full front bumper replacement. I am not a fan of alot of the other full bumper replacements (pre-runner style) I have seen on many Raptors.
I have seen the Raptor with the Ranch Hand front...
I love it!!!! I am more for that style over the silly 'pre-runner' baja thin girl tube bumpers. It just sucks the sides aren't wider be cuase other than that you have got the look I want on the front.
Props man!!!
