    3M Vinyl Partial Hood Wrap

    Thank you. No mods besides plasti-dip hood and wheels. It's only my company delivery car and sometimes my commuter car. I plan to plasti-dip the roof and probably design something for a back window graphic of our logo. ---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM...

    3M Vinyl Partial Hood Wrap

    I did my focus over the weekend with plasti-dip. Cost was about $30 at the most to do this. I figured I would practice on my focus before I try it on my Raptor. Plus if you really mess up you can just wait for it to dry and peel it off.

    what color '13 did u order?

    I still can't make up my mind! I am planning to place my order this coming week and need to decide on what color. I'm stuck between going with Blue again or getting the white that I originally wanted when I got my current Raptor. But the blacked out with Blue really grew on me.

    Need advice.. trade for a used Raptor or order a 2013

    Money isn't exactly an issue I just thought it would be more responsible to not go buy a brand new raptor and spend money on all new stuff. Especially since I just bought my first house, bought a new Harley and co-signed on my gf's 2012 Focus. But the more I think about it a new one just seems...

    Need advice.. trade for a used Raptor or order a 2013

    Ya that's what I am leaning towards.. I'm so content with the way I finally got mine set up. If I go new I am going to have to buy all new stuff.. Bumpers, powder coat, paint match, exhaust. It's exciting yet stressful at the same time. haha. I didn't ask frontier ford yet what they would...

    Need advice.. trade for a used Raptor or order a 2013

    Looking for some opinions on my situation... My main intent is to upgrade to the 6.2L. I currently have a Loaded 2010 5.4L with 52,000 miles on it. I found a dealer near me with a 2010 6.2L with 33,000 miles on it. It is fully loaded minus the graphics. The dealer wants $40,888 for theirs...

    Raptor off roading video

    Could it be one of these? I made these back in 2010. I wish I had time to get out there and make another video. I have 3 gopros now and various mounts to get more camera angles! Ford SVT Raptor - Anza-Borrego - Raptor Run 2 - YouTube First Ford SVT Raptor Meet at Anza-Borrego Desert...

    August 4th Reno/NorCal Raptor run

    I tried that. I tried to play up the casinos as much as I could. But hey you don't have a Raptor yet right? Well my Girlfriend happens to be a sales woman at Frontier Ford. Maybe.... if you bought a Raptor from her she just might let me go. :gr_grin:

    August 4th Reno/NorCal Raptor run

    Hey guys.. I'm not going to be able to make this one. Sunday is my gf's bday and I was unsuccessful at convincing her to think it was her idea to go on this run. haha! Last year is was "her" idea to go to the Lucas Oil Races at Glen Helen for her bday. So I can't complain if she want's to do...

    Holister Hills is fun. I have only gone a couple times. There isn't much high speed stuff at all and you can really only stick to the "green diamond" trails because most others are way to narrow for the Raptor. It's definitely worth checking out. Let me know when you go. If I am free I will...

    Also note I have the 5.4 engine. Your 6.2 should have plenty of power and torque. And I agree with you about the diesel rigs! They can go over anything and everything out there like it's nothing. If you want to show them up hit up some of the high speed areas. My favorite is after the last...

    Try manual shifting. That's what I use for hill climbs. The truck's shifting patterns (even in offroad mode) wants to shift up to soon. Resulting in power-loss. Get a decent amount of speed and momentum going. Try to enter the hill climb somewhere mid maybe close to high rpm for the gear you...

    Some other pointers: - Don't stop on "high center" areas. As soon as your tires dig in and your frame touches the sand you are pretty much stuck. [IMG] - In soft sand I always try to stop somewhere that slopes down. Even if it only slopes downward slightly it will help big time where you...

    The 20 psi is probably good. I don't even think I lower mine that much but the lower they are the more it helps. Settings are the biggest factor along with picking where you drive and where you stop. My normal pismo settings: - Select 4-high - Press off-road mode. - Then hold down...

    DMH- Answer the phones!!! Poor Customer Service

    Mine was rattling too pretty bad and I finally went under there to see exactly what it was and all I had to do was tighten up something and it went away completely. Unfortunately I didn't drive my Raptor to work today so I can't go look and see what exactly I tightened up.

    more info on off road capabilities

    I live in Gilroy and commute to Santa Clara. I don't always commute with the Raptor but I'm sure I will see you around at some point.
