AKA “pine” stripes.

Shame that Ford & GM (& Hyundai) pulled out this year. Like someone noted, you can purchase tickets for Friday. I think they cost $70 before the end of the month and $100 after. There definitely is something for everybody at the show. Yes, many lifted trucks, which I do enjoy. But also resto...

Ha ha...nice.

I did not know that it was possible to make an old Marine laugh. :cool:

Sweet...congrats ! Can you confirm if Code Orange is metallic or pearl or not ? Thanks.

The Rupes is the smoothest and the easiest on your wrists. I do a better job with it as a result. An orbital can tackle most jobs, but does have a limit. I can't get much done on old Mercedes paint, even with a micro fiber pad and Menzerna.

Griots Tire Cleaner + brush as required + Satin Tire Spray. No brown.

The pix of Code Orange definitely appear pearl. Have not seen it in person yet.

Yes, if it is that important to you. I am not going to bother for my 1% time off road. Going to try and get mine installed tomorrow.

Yes, the Raptor bar is thinner at 3/4". The standard F150 bar is 1". Guess that I will order up the bigger bar.

Damn...you got me before I got back in to edit, ha ha. I just called them and spoke with a good tech guy. The thinner Raptor bar is a compromise for offroading. But as an only an occasional offroader and otherwise driving it like a sport car on the road, bigger bar more better.

I see another mod in my near future. Has anyone used the Hellwig 7783 Raptor specific bar ? Why did everyone go with the 7743 ? No offroading and wanted max effect ? Perhaps I will call them to discuss.

Nice work ! I am currently doing exactly the same thing. X-Maxx and a Proline Raptor body that I will paint to match (as best as I can) my Ford Performance Blue color. I am currently working on test strips to evaluate different blues and backing colors. There is a YouTube video showing a great...

I find that I want the aux lights whenever the high beams are on. Repeatedly reaching up 30 times a trip to turn on/off to allow for oncoming traffic gets tiresome. Now that the nights are longer, I need to get back into this. There is not as much need in the long summer days.

Where did you find the 2019/20 take offs ? That E-Clik looks interesting.

Thanks everyone for chiming in. As a side question: anyone else not getting update emails ? I used to get them all the time, and now nothing. I experienced the Cobb OEM+ and Sport trans tunings. Sport is way too brutal and the OEM+ just has different issues than stock. The trans should have a...

The 10-speed transmission's bad shifting is ruing my Raptor experience. I drive in Sport mode 100% of the time. Sometimes it holds a gear waaaaaay too long and sometimes shifts much too harshly. The 8-speed transmission in the Dodge shifts perfectly. Appropriately holding gears and shifting...

You got lucky ! They were delivered. :p

Agreed that in many pix it does look red. The truck I saw in the pix or video (can't recall) gave off a gold glow in the corners. This indicates to me that it is a pearl.

There are good pix on here somewhere of that color on a truck in the sun. It very much looks pearl.

I would LOVE to turn that notice off !!

Federal Express: When it absolutely needs to get there eventually probably. They are the f’ing worst. I have not ordered from certain vendors because FedEx is their only shipper.

You own a Skoda too ???

The truck pipes a synthesized exhaust noise through the stereo speakers. It smooths over the real exhaust noise, not make it more aggressive. Perhaps to sound less like a V6 ? If you want to better/accurately hear the real exhaust, turn it off. There are numerous interior exhaust noise videos...
