Spent a lazy Friday afternoon on the beach just enjoying the surf. Didn't pull the rod out since I didn't want to be bothered by the fish!

I use the ProClip mount you mention. I really like it. It is really solid and keeps hold of my phone firmly. I really don't notice the strap look anymore at all. I was initially nervous about the look, but I like it.

After every rain or wash, the Raptor spills a lot of water on the pavement when I move her. Looks to be significant. I haven't crawled up underneath to see where the water collects, but I'm assuming it must collect on all the skid plates. Then when you move the Raptor, it spills onto...

I've worked for NASA for over 30 years. Until the Raptor, I had always just viewed my vehicle as a conveyance to get me back and forth to work. I was usually driving small cars like Mazda3 and Hyundai Elentra. No bells and whistles. My wife and kids usually had better cars than me. For the...

Thanks for the game. I'll take 35.

I'd go with the black wheels if they will keep your truck upright and not 90 degrees rolled over......................... ;)

Great looking truck! Welcome to FRF!

Gave her a quick bath to wash off the saltwater and sand. Vacuumed up all the sand that tends to get everywhere inside. Ready for the next trip!

Took her out yesterday to have a little fun in the sand and water. Nice relaxful afternoon.

Received my last Father's Day gift from my daughter in the mail today. She got me the small Builtright bracket for the bed! My plan is to install a LED light on a bogan arm so that I can swing it around and light up different parts of the bed or to the side of the truck. Got the idea from...

Congrats!! And welcome to the forum..............wait.............

Yeah, I think I'm about ready to remove it. Ron Carter was actually the best dealership to work with in the greater Houston area. They were straightforward and didn't try to add a bounch of stuff after the deal. They gave me a really good deal and so I didn't mind keeping that badge on for...

Love that decal!! But I would be concerned with so many idiots out there that they would scratch or dent the truck if they saw that. It's unfortunate that folks wouldn't just recognize the pledge and respect it. Seems like today there are too many that will think your truck needs to be...

Hey I'm only at 5,700 miles and 1 year and 3 days. That's still within the base warranty. So all consulting fees should be complementary!! By the way I think I'm going to look into that Costco Visa to get an additional 4% back for fuel purchases.

Well I had some errands to run with the wife today and we decided to go by Costco to pick up some rotisserie chickens for our dog. Yes, he's 15 years old and is now getting chicken for dinner. Anyway, I went to the pumps and 93 octane was only $1.89. Compare that to Buc-ee's 87 octane at...

Thanks! What part of Texas did you live and where are you now?

Ok, now that is a much more convincing reason to use Costco over Buc-ee's. I hadn't realized the difference in fuel quality compared to non-Top Tier fuels. Looks like I need to start using Costco for my fueling needs. The good news is that with the minimal amount of driving right now (working...

You guys are making me think about using the 93 octane. I do have a Costco membership, I'm just not that close to a location. And that particular location can be a PITA from a traffic standpoint. So I don't make the trip up to Costco for gas. I use a place called Buc-ee's that is only about...

Thanks!! And thanks for the additional information on ESP and antennas. I'll be sure to check those out. No, I haven't really thought about a true ceramic coating. But always something to consider down the road.

Wheels When I was shopping around for the truck, I saw a blacked out lifted truck with the Fuel Assault wheels. They were the best looking wheels I’d seen on any black truck and decided that was the wheels I would get for my Raptor. That was before I really researched much on FRF. Had I seen...

Maintenance I received a lot of reward points on my FordPass App when I purchased my Raptor. These points can be used for oil changes at the dealership. So while I do like to do my own maintenance, it’s hard to pass up free service. I’ve only had to get one oil change so far. And I still...

Washing and Detailing Funny, until the Raptor I never really was into detailing. I just washed whatever car I had with basic car washing soap from the grocery store or in some cases dishwashing soap like Dawn. I always liked a clean car, just never did anything more than a single bucket wash...

Raptor Decals There are two schools of thought for the Raptor bedside and hood graphics/decals. You either seem to hate them or love them. The one agreement between the two groups is that they are way overpriced. It’s ridiculous how much they want for them installed on the vehicle. I found...

Additional Lighting I added the Baja Designs S2 reverse lights and they are awesome! My install thread is here if you want to see the process. https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/my-bd-s2-reverse-light-kit-install.73094/ They are hooked into my reverse circuit and to the auxiliary...
