    Clear Bra Installed today

    I had Xpel put on mine last weekend. The installer did a great job. I ended up doing the bumper too as I'm not yet committed to swapping the bumper. Here is a pick of the edge.

    Line-X color matched to Blue Flame

    I finally received the Raptor I ordered in January and I've started the list of mods I created over the 4 month wait. Even though I will be using a Roll-X cover, I wanted to Line-X the bed for protection for when I am going haul stuff. I also had the rear wheel wells Line-X'd in black.

    Group Buy- LED Lighting- Checking Interest!

    I need a light bar. Does anyone have video or photos comparing "behind the grill " output with mounted in the open? Based on the percentage of closed versus op on the grill I could imaging a 20" mounted in the bumper equalling a 40" behind the grill but what do I know

    Tailgage Lock - Gatekeeper by Jimmi Jammer

    I didn't find any other posts on the this style of tailgate lock so I thought I post here. I installed Jimmi Jammers in the front doors and tailgate of my new 2013 SCAB. I spent a lot of time researching different tailgate locks and from what I read, most were fairly fragile. I saw the Jimmi...

    remote start

    I took delivery of 2013 SCAB with 801a and it came with remote start. The range on mine is pretty good for my needs. I live in AZ and 30 seconds of cooling is fine, no need for starting in the cold. It starts with 100% reliability from inside my house (truck parked outside on driveway), and...

    hi, I am the guy who asked about the ford factory alarm. Can you say why you wish you had gone...

    hi, I am the guy who asked about the ford factory alarm. Can you say why you wish you had gone with the Viper? I am an electrical engineer and very cautious when it comes to having a stereo store installer cutting the factory harness and wiring up an alarm. Also, what do the factory alarm...

    Ford Factory Alarm

    Is the Ford Factory Alarm a dealer installed only item or does it come with some option packages? I would only be interested in an alarm that utilizes the factory remote keys and the factory remote start. Is that an option?

    Which relays and where to buy?

    I understand wiring and I will be needing to incorporate some relays. When using a relay where do you put them physically? Are they weather proof? Do you screw them to something? I'd like to buy quality, what and where should I buy them? Thanks...joe

    Lovin the Platinum Console Pad, now the door armrests?

    The Platinum lid feels like it has maybe 1/4" of foam under the leather. Most dealers should have a Platinum on the lot so it's easy to check out before buying

    Lovin the Platinum Console Pad, now the door armrests?

    Okay, here are the pics. I also went to a dealer today to look at the door panels on a Platinum edition. Sadly the arm rests are on the doors are not at all the same as the Platinum console lid. Odd, apparently Ford likes to use lots of different materials. The door panel arm rests have a...

    Push start buttom on ford raptor?

    I totally agree. Didn't understand the keyless entry and drive until I had it for a few weeks. After having it for 6 years I miss it a lot.

    Adam's, Zaino, or Griot's Garage?

    I used to use the Zaino Z1 primer and the Z2 sealant. Now they have an accelerator that you add to the Z2 sealant. I'd buy the Z2, the ZFX accelerator, a bottle of the Z7 wash (smells awesome), and 2 bottles of the Z6 gloss enhancer. Also a clay bar if you don't have one. I use maybe 2...

    Lovin the Platinum Console Pad, now the door armrests?

    Just picked up my 2013 Flame Blue SCAB Saturday. Just a few mods this weekend. The first was replacing the black rubber console lid with the Charcoal leather one for a Platinum BL3Z-1606024-BA. (the one with stitching the same color as the leather). Really nice upgrade. Now I really want...

    Adam's, Zaino, or Griot's Garage?

    I've used Griots and Zaino extensively. Just started reading on the Adams page and I may buy a bunch of stuff from them to try. Here in AZ, it's super dusty all the time. Every wax product I've tried has ended up attracting dust, almost like a static dust attractor. I've also had wax...

    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    It's here. I've bought many new cars that were much more expensive but nothing put a grin on my face like the Raptor did today. I already have the leather arm rest installed, and the stubby carbon fiber antenna. More mods this weekend and color matched Line-X later his week.

    Help me choose a Cat Back Exhaust, Borla or Corsa

    Best how, loudest, least drone, best build quality? How much louder is the Borla S than the Corsa, or is the Corsa louder. I'm not really going for loud.

    Help me choose a Cat Back Exhaust, Borla or Corsa

    I pick up my 2013 Flame Blue SCAB at 9am Saturday. I am pretty sure I want to put on a Cat Back exhaust. I'd like deeper tone at idle, and zero drone. From what I've read, both Borla and Corsa would meet those requirements. I've listened to tons of clips on You Tube and read everything I can...

    Dealer called today. My truck is in California (Wait, I live in AZ). They expect it Wed or Thurs. But I'm out of town until Fri. Scheduled pickup for sat 9am. Monday I get the front windows tinted and Xpel on the front. Line-X next week and then I install the Roll-X and bed mat. It's...

    Stage 3 ride difference?

    M7 2013 SCAB will arrive this week. I am considering the RPG stage 3.0. My raptor will be a daily driver with desert trips maybe once a month. I really like the ride on the road of the stock Raptor. How much does the ride change with the 3.0 RPG kit? thanks...joe

    Any Phoenix area Corsa Exhaust trucks I could hear?

    I have a 2013 that is awaiting shipment. From all that I've read the Corsa is what I want. I am looking for deeper sound, some growl on full throttle, and no drone when cruising. Is there anyone in the Phoenix area who has a 6.2L with the Corsa Cat Back? Would love to meet and hear it in...

    Drop in liner Vs Line-X

    I have a Blue Flame SCAB on the way from the factory and I have been planning to have it Line-X'd. Woodworking is my hobby and I will be hauling expensive hardwood veneered plywood in the bed. It sounds like the Line-X would be damaging to the plywood. I will want to be able to slide plywood...

    Talk to me about lighting

    The second photo for the lighting comparison did not show up. What difference would 4 or those in the bumber versus 2 in the bumper and 2 on the hood be? I am not crazy about putting lights up in my sightline unless thats a superior place to have light sources.

    Talk to me about lighting

    My 2013 is supposed to be built 5/9. I want to add lighting. I was planning to either put a 20" LED in the bumper or a 40" on top. I see a lot of LEDs behing the grill and I assume that cuts the light output a good bit, 10-20% I'd think. Any real data on the impact of that placement? I...
