    Replace color keyed fenders

    I'd say if it checks all the other boxes, go for it. Worse comes to worse you can Line-X 'em like others suggested, get them wrapped, or go to town on them yourself - get some wrap and try your hand at it or prep/paint them back to factory. With the tailgate, I did the same thing as @Oldfart...

    Raptor Paint Wrap

    @Oldfart - Ahh, my mistake. Didn't even look at the date. Well, at any rate: Hope all is well with Crazy and all y'all fellow Raptor brothers and sisters.

    Bought the wrong truck

    Yeah, during that commercial after the "...if you have Rancho shocks, if you have blah blah blah, if you have all this..." my 6 yo son interjects with - "Then you STILL don't have a Raptor." It's like they just said - alright fellas, we can't compete in any other arena so I want the most...

    Raptor Paint Wrap

    Oh, and forgot to mention: I got full ceramic tint for that $8k also.

    Raptor Paint Wrap

    Crazy, good to see you back bro. Hope all is well. Had mine wrapped with XPEL Stealth PPF and a double shot of ceramic coat over it - ran me about $8k. That is full body, removing pieces, top to bottom with a 10 year guarantee and lifetime warranty. The self healing and durability lead me to...

    Central Valley Raptor owner here. Always out and about whenever I can between here and Carson/Gardenerville NV - if any of you are in that area I'm the matte black Raptor. @WhatIsLongTravel - I go out Sunrise Pass all the time, me and my dad go shooting out there and have taken the Raptor out...

    Carbon fiber parts from Covid boredom

    Snag, hang in there brother. I can't speak for everyone but I can assure you, all your efforts are very much appreciated. I think it's been suggested already but, I agree - relieve some of the headache and get a deposit up front.

    Carbon fiber parts from Covid boredom

    Forget the semi's... straight door drop by drone. I'll handle that. I'm just used to weaponized ones... or ones outfitted with some sort of sensor package; I'm sure the conversion shouldn't be too difficult though.

    What are these seats called

    What do you call these seats? - Comfortable. Nah, but for real... no blue stitching and no blue suede on the seats or the side of the console; those are not Recaros, sir. Just the standard sport buckets. Hope this helps! :favorites13:

    Yosemite and Lake Tahoe Offroad "Raptor" Friendly Trails

    Can completely confirm this. Go out that way with my dad, ol' Sunrise Pass Rd. Not super challenging but you can run out through nothing at speed. If you follow the right paths, I do believe it'll take you all the way to UT. Just please make sure to use your best trail etiquette. Leave it...

    Raptor Assault/Road-trip

    Went to Raptor Assault back on Sept. 8th, road-tripped it out from CA - way too many pictures to post, here's a few highlights. The matte black sittin' out on the Salt Flats was just too pretty to pass on a few shots.

    Y'all said this day would never come.....my new Prius!!!

    @911 Crazy - MMmmm... I'm still skeptical. You probably just drove your Prius down to a Ford dealership and took pics of their latest delivery... I'll wait for the pics of you driving the truck. You know us prior mil guys - trust but verify. ;)

    The Raptor is not for everyone

    Got 20s for looks around town (personally think it looks better with 20s) but kept the stock 17s for offroad use, switch out before I leave. Dude in the pic should have just saved himself the money and gone with a Taco. I mean by 20s poke a bit like an inch and a 1/4 maybe but, those look like...

    Signed up for Raptor Assault (again)

    Scheduled for Sept. 8th and 9th... anyone else going then?

    Hot off the presses

    Nope, not going away... they're fusing two EB V6s into a quad turbo V12 EB mid engine Veloci-Raptor! There's also going to be a factory mounted pole mounted in the bed for the dancing girls! Send all the money for your preorders to me! :happy175::lol: In all seriousness though, like...

    Call me crazy... But...

    @chi_weezy - Don't know where in CA you're at but I posted a while back about an in-state dealer here that I ordered mine from for $66k (MSRP $72K) + stupid CA tax. The ONLY one I found in the state willing to work with me as everywhere else wanted the CA standard $6K - $15K over MSRP. Too...

    Carbon fiber parts from Covid boredom

    Oh dang, so no door handles!? :( I know I only speak for myself here but I'd think you'd have the market all to yourself with this part as no one else I've seen is offering these. To cut down production costs because of the variables, you could just make the lefts and rights with...

    Hello from NorCal

    Nice man, congrats and welcome to the Raptor family! I pass by your way on my way to my dad's in NV, we run the trails out there and in the Sierras. See you out there, brother!

    Carbon fiber parts from Covid boredom

    @EL Snagadore Awesome!! In the video linked below, dude is holding the part that I'm talking about... not sold individually by Ford I'm told but rather as an assembly. They have stick-on fake ones for sale around the internet but I'm not interested in that janky $#it. Just let me know, man...

    Carbon fiber parts from Covid boredom

    @EL Snagadore - MY (possible) SAVIOR! I've been looking for OEM replacement CF exterior door handle caps and side mirror caps. I would prefer them in a matte finish but, I could make the gloss work too... I would be HIGHLY interested in those items... possibly the hood and side vents too if...

    GEN 2 Few shots of the current phase

    Aside from the front bumper, the tailgate applique, and those Methods... that Raptor looks pretty familiar. ;) Looks like my girl has some local competition now. For the wrap, you go XPel Stealth PPF or you do vinyl? You wrapped those B pillars too, right?

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Took her trail runnin out in NV with my dad outside of Carson City/Minden, then gave her her first full wash and detail, then she saw her cousin at the bank:

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Just took her out and put her through her paces - up around Caples Lake, Red Lake, Lost Lakes, and Upper Blue Lake off 88:
