Ok I'm so confused. I was all over this when you first posted your first build thread, and tried to buy one to do something similar, but they don't make them anymore. I chalked it up to being too late to the party. Then you just bought another one? Where pray tell did you buy this? I really want to buy one and modify it a bit as well but can't find them anywhere. I looked on Amazon as you indicated as well and can only find F150's, no Raptors. Appreciate any help you can provide!
Are you referring to the Step2 Raptor Wagon or the PowerWheels Raptor?
If the Step2 Raptor Wagon here is the link to it on Amazon.

If you were referring to the PowerWheels Raptor then i hate to inform you that i dont think they are made anymore. When i bought this one i didnt know that they didnt make them any more. If i would have i may not have gotten it due to the lack of parts for it if anything was to break. I just randomly found it at Walmart on 11-19-2016 it was the only one they had and it was on clearance for $329 marked down from $389. You could tell it had been there a long time cause the picture on the box was some what faded. To my surprise everthing in the box still looked new and it had all the parts.
A quick search on eBay i found this one.
Fisher-Price Power Wheels Blue Ford F150 Raptor, Good Condition, Extra Batteries | eBay
Im not sure where your located but this one is in TX. Not sure if the pictures make it look faded or if its actually faded. You could always paint it but the problem with that is that you cant get the sticker sheets anymore. If i had known this, before i applied them i would have brought them to work to scan them so if i ever needed any i could bring the images to a local tint shop and get them printed. I bet i could sell the shit out of them too.
Maybe get the regular F-150 and have some decals made to make it into a Raptor. The only thing you would need to do is make the FORD letters for the grill attach and then paint.
Thanks, its been a awesome project to build.
You are correct on these being no longer available. Keep your eyes out on eBay and Craigslist or post up a want to buy within the forum.
I had no clue when i bought it that they werent made anymore. Ill keep my eyes open for yall and let yall know if i kind anything. I just spent damn near a hour looking for one and only found a used one that i linked above.

Maybe try something like duct seal putty or clay in those spots as a test. Would give you a wear marker where the ground is touching and if you built it up enough might even be enough to see if the vibration starts to diminish.
Tuesday i ended up emailing Power Wheels to tell them how disappointed i was with the way it bounced and shook on cement. I received a call from them yesterday afternoon saying they are going to seen me 4 brand new tires and the retaining clips 2nd day air. I asked if they redesigned the tires and the lady couldnt confirm or deny if they did or not but stated that there must be something with the ones i have because it shouldnt be that bouncy. Regardless im happy they are doing this even if they are the same tires because once i modify the tires if it doesnt work out the way im hoping or if i screw something up ill have a new set of tires to put on the truck.
