Looks great, thanks for the pics. Am definitely interested but, kind of in a holding pattern with mods because of the apocalypse (COVID-19). I'll definitely hit you up when things stabilize a bit too see if they're still available but, I don't think a road trip to UT is the best thing for my...

Any pics of current condition?

Awesome, man! Might hit you up. Me and my dad are always out Sunrise Pass Road. We head out on that eastward and go shooting and just run trails with the toys. He lives near there so it's not too far and I'm over there as often as responsibilities allow.

Looks great!! Congrats! My Raptor just arrived yesterday. I just posted pics but plan to put more up as the mods go on.

She's here! Now officially a happy Rappy (not a Prius) owner!! Ain't she pretty!? :D:cool::signs6:

@FordRaptorLights.com I believe @Oldfart was trying to say that you guys were very fast although, the sarcasm tends to get lost in text. Mere hours from ordering to shipping in these strange times should be applauded and is appreciated, to be sure.

A state worse than CA? Color me surprised! I just got a call from the dealer today letting me know mine just got off the train so I should be able to pick it up in a couple days. DMV just shut down their field offices here but as far as I know all the online stuff is still operational so...

There doesn't seem to be. Everywhere is quickly becoming as bad as here... there's transplants in OR, ID, NV, UT - liberals/socialists all leaving because of the cost of living and then ruining where they end up by making it just like here. I'll get down from my soap box now.

**UPDATE!** Not that anyone cares but me but, the dealership owner just called to let me know that my Raptor has got off the train and should be here in a couple days! VERY excited!! Now I have something more to do with all this shelter-in-place time. Pics upon arrival and after each mod...

It's my understanding is: it's not that - it's a legal thing. Kind of like how YouTube people will post video at a slower/faster speed or watermark the video in order to avoid copyright infringement. Same thing here I'm pretty sure except the medium is a tailgate applique. Sorry it's...

Head east on I8 'til you come across Ocotillo/Plaster City. That's the spot. If you hit El Centro, you've gone too far.

Nick at Apollo Optics have exceeded the expectations of this veteran. I had asked a few questions regarding wheel/tire size/offset in the forums and Nick stepped up with some great info. I PMed him, and within minutes he responded with more specific information. Placed an order with him and...

Welcome, brother! 8 years Navy, 4 years AF here. I still have a Prius too, don't worry. Would post pics but mine just began production this week. I will when she gets here though! Hope your Raptor can help provide a little better QOL for you. Drivin her will be the best morale boost aside...

Yeah, not an option for me unless I do some demo and some reconstruction. So, that's another reason I want to keep the suspension as stock as possible. Based on what you said though, it sounds like if I just level it; I should be fine. Thanks again for your insight!

Looks great, man. Sounds like it was a PITA but, it''s behind you now and she looks awesome! Nice work!

@Nick@Apollo-Optics: I saw you guys have the hood and side vents - any plans on carrying the mirror caps?

Thanks for the feedback Matt! I have been thinkin about doing springs but I will be really close to the top of the garage door as it is and I'd hate to park her outside. I'll take some measurements but if I can get away with no rub on stock suspension with 20"s I'll be an even happier Raptor...

Thanks Nick! Awesome info, sir. Yeah, it's funny... I don't remember asking for people's opinion on what THEY think looks good or not. I appreciate you coming through with some good data. I'm HEAVILY leaning in the 35/12.5R20 direction now. Like the look the best and from everything I've...

Awesome info, thanks! I appreciate the help!

Completely right! I have considered them and still am. The 285s provide a lesser speed variation than the 35/12.5s though and from everything I've been reading here and elsewhere, the 35/12.5s also slightly rub at full lock on stock suspension which I'd like to try to avoid. Thus why I sought...

Currently only considering the VenomRex VR602s - 20 x 9 (thank goodness I don't have to sell the Raptor I don't have yet and go pick up a Dodge! :Big Laugh:). 285's may not be the "in thing" but for ME, it's the perfect hybrid between show truck and offroad monster (I personally can't stand 5...

Thanks Big Blue! I spent some time up in Round Lake and Waukegan when I was in Tech School. Don't know how near you that is but, yeah - enjoyed my time there.

Yeah, they (Escalon) don't have any in inventory but, special ordered mine below MSRP and in CA, even finding one on the lot for anything less than 10k - 20k over is next to impossible ($85k - $95k is about average around here). Want me to at least talk to the owner? I believe you had...

I haven't looked too far south but I know the dealership in Escalon (about 2 and a half hours north of you) was the only one I found in the area quoting below MSRP. If you're thinking about using this one, send me a PM and I'll talk to the owner and let him know you're interested.

True, true. Mine will be here soon enough though... but then I'll be spending all my free time in NV. :Big Laugh:
