To be honest, not very well lol. It has been a long, hard wait for me. I try to not think about it much, but it is impossible. I have been so excited since the day I ordered and still am anxiously waiting. I have been doing lots of research on this forum, learning from others mistakes. I did do a lot of wheel and tire research, as well as exhuast. I ordered those parts, which helped a bit, but now they are just sitting in my garage waiting, and seeing them everyday makes it worse! I think the best thing to do is just try to tell yourself that you have done everything you can and all you can do is sit back and wait. It can be frustrating, but at the same time, you're getting a Raptor. It will all be forgotten the day it comes in!


Good deal! I am making a mod list already. My only issue is access to tools and a place to do modifications. This isn't the easiest place to do that stuff and our Ford "dealer" here is more like a German dude's backyard. I don't speak the best German yet so that is kind of out of the question. I guess I can order some stuff. Have to do more research though.

Thank you for the Military badge. (I'll figure this computer stuff out eventually.)

Good morning to you, but it is 1620 here... Haha

Excellent bike! I had an '07 for 4 years. When they moved me to Germany I sold it because the laws are rediculous and I didn't want the hassel.

Damn man. Mine was stolen once. GPS tracker took me to the front door of the guys house. He meet some of my friends in the Sheriff's Department. I had about 15,000 on mine when I sold it. Looked brand new.

Hi welcome to the circus... Thanks for flying, my son in law fly's the uh60-Y did two tours in Afghanistan.. Marine corp pilot and now switching to Drone pilot school... I don't know why but since his little Girl was born about 1.5 years ago he thinks being a drone pilot might be safer.. The mods list starts easy, you will tell yourself ok I am only going to do this... And that's how the bug gets you....

Just go to the auto skills center on post if you need a place to work on your truck. I just PCS'd from baumholder and I installed a supercharger, coilovers, and exhaust all in the ASC.
