'14 Raptor Roush Supercharged

[Ricoman]

I've had my truck since June 26, of 2016, and I get happy every time I get in it or even look at it in the driveway. Instant stress relief....I'll never get rid of this truck.

I'm thinking on starting a binder to document all the stuff I do to it.

LMAO....my GF is Jealous,I smile more at the truck than her...and think I wrote in another thread,when she caught me blow-drying it with a leaf blower she threaten to leave me...LOL....!! but only went to get her phone to take a video cause she said her friends wouldnt believe her..!
I'm looking at mine as I type this,hope she doesnt come in my office..and ask me why the grin..
Its usually in garage,but went on overnight trip and got home and the 2 guys who do some yard work for me happened to be here,I've owned mine since Jan. and they have been here 3-4 times,but its always hidden...Pulled into driveway and they almost shit,mouths wide open...When did you get THAT..! Took half hour for them to stop drooling...and checking out every inch,in and out...Good thing I dont pay them by the hour.....Now they want a ride next time they come...hummmm.....Whats a ride in a SuperCharged Raptor worth...couple hours work...LMAO..!!
YES,YES,YES....keep EVERY piece of paper you ever get dealing with it..!! Every photo....everything..! I bought my '63 in 1973 and have a file cabinet full of stuff.....Wish I had thought of keeping a log of every place its been,but was my daily driver back then and never thought of it..GOOD IDEA....I do have a small spot in shop with all the photos and trophies over the years...its fun to look back on the life of a vehicle you have owned so long...alot of guys dont go into thinking they will keep something that long,so dont save stuff.....

Lol my GF (wife) don’t like it one bit that the photo on my phone is the truck and not her hahaha!!

Beer is always a winning plan!

I’m looking into a WA Offroad community to join. There’s a 600 mile dirt road that goes border to border from Oregon to Canada I’ve been hearing about. I definitely want to get going with some off-road trips to start prepping for the Baja Raptor Run which will be a couple years out due to the money flow...

I’m wanting (needing) to get going with upgrades and maintenance this year too.

Well,your a better man than me....wouldnt dare put photo of the Raptor on my phone..although she does say "THATS A PRETTY TRUCK" every time she looks at it...and has been begging to drive it...I told her,when I stop grinning every time I look at it,she can sit in the drivers seat...NO KEYS..!
Hey,if you have any luck with finding a WA. group,or that 600 mile dirt road...I'd be interested....
I looked into the Baja Run..looks really cool...but like you...gotta save some $$ for other things..like real bills..LOL... GF still cant believe I bought a Truck that could of been a down payment on a house,then put another $3K into it the first week (Tonneau Cover/Rigid Lights/etc)....mostly cosmetic stuff,since it was MINT when I bought.......told her,hey,just took early retirement,single,no kids....WTF...cant take it wth you..LOL...
Keep in touch..and....I've been brewing my own BEER for 3 years now....and always need test subjects..!!
Later...
