LOL...I got all excited when I saw the thread title. Always wanted to build a hyper-mileage Raptor/overlander with the diesel out of an F150.
welcome regardless!
Same here ... We can open the door from at least one house down with the home link in my wife’s Jeep, but have to be completely in the driveway facing the door with my truck.
This is a pain because I back in on my side to get both vehicles to fit with enough space between them to open the...
I spent over $1K getting rid of my applique...prefer the look of a clean tailgate, plus wanted to put on a custom badge. Found one from a ‘17 to avoid the big F150 stamped in the bottom too.
Better pic of the badge:
Quick update... Went in easy-peasy.
Only thing to keep in mind is that if you buy the entire set as I did, the front plate is redundant. Stock plate is actually a bit larger so I just kept it in place. I guess I’ll fit the RCI front plate to my son’s truck when he comes home for the...
After seeing the horrible excuse for “skid plates” under my son’s new truck, I decided to swap the stock plates from my Raptor over to his truck and order some new ones for me. Thanks again to Nick@Apollo Optics for the outstanding service ...as always!
These came in yesterday, but didn’t have...
Love how it fits flush/slightly below the cab roof line when stowed. Added weight, and may have more drag in the area directly behind the truck, but more streamlined airflow over the bed...curious if you get better or worse gas mileage with the rack/tent in place while cruising.
Not really a mod to the truck, but finally got the custom base plates for my G21 mags from Classy Raptor Tactical (he’s one of us!) that match my custom tailgate emblem:
Only cost me my favorite pin punch...rectified it by buying a proper mag disassembly tool for the next time...
New...
Funny story, I intended to buy a diesel F150...been there with several 250s and 350s and love the range we get in my wife’s turbodiesel Jeep Grand Cherokee..700+ mile range. Was gonna do the Raptor Suspension and body conversion, but quickly realized that the body style I wanted ...Supercab...
i’m down to my last two bottles of Blanton’s, and even my reliable sources are unable to ... well, reliably get me any. I haven’t seen a bootle of EH Taylor in over two years. Nice finds.
Been getting by on Buffalo Trace and Wellers...

LOL
28 years flying for Uncle Sugar, then managed to land a great job post-retirement...but working harder than I ever have before. ~1/3 of my pay is in company stock, which has increased in value almost 10-fold since I joined in 2015.
The hard work’s paying off though and has bought me piece of...
Congrats... Neighbor’s truck almost exactly like yours is what got me interested in Raptors in the first place ... SCAB + that color is still on my bucket list!
Just home from running errands all day... quick crappy pic before the sun sets
And the pups seem to like them too!
...or maybe the cat under my son’s truck had their attention! LOL
OK, so they will work, but the connector is off by 90 degrees.
Stock:
Recon:
So rather than send them back, I simply swapped the stock connector over to the new lights (wires are basically the same). Easier said than done...stock connector have a cross-shaped ‘lock’ that slides down...
Thanks! Saw they fit 1st gen and assumed it was a mistake...thought the plugs were different for the second gen.
will call them on Monday to confirm they fit.
Passenger side side marker missing its cover...no idea when/how it happened.
I figured if I’m gonna replace, might as well get smoked lenses. However, just spent the last 1/2 hour searching, and maybe my google-fu is weak or I’m just too tired after working on the truck and projects all...
Haven’t posted in this thread in awhile... Still lovin’ the color:
Got caught by one of my game cameras a couple weeks back...yes, I know the date/time stamp is wrong!:hunter:
And caught with another LF that was going through the drive through at a sub shop near where mine was...
Pretty sure I’ve posted up in here already, but here’s one caught on one of my game cameras when I was out filling feeders...yes the date/time is screwed up; it was from a couple weeks ago. Blue Bonnets in November isn’t a thing...not yet anyway!
And one I snapped of a SCREW saying hi as...
