Thanks for all of the reply's and welcome messages


Sorry guys. I am on a work computer and am not the admin therefore cant upgrade my browser and since I do not work at the home office it is not very convenient for me to drop by and have them change it. I only use this one at work so not too big of a deal except when trying to do things like this. I'm not sure which version of IE it is but I know many sites (yahoo mail) no longer support it. I am thinking that is why I could not post pics in my post. I am very interested in adding the front camera to this truck if possible. I have heard many different things regarding this. One was that the dealer cant add it after you have your truck. another was that you should go aftermarket. I think I heard somewhere else that one guy found a dealer to do it...

Also interested in taking this bad boy off road.

You should join the Houston Area Raptor Owners (HARO) on Facebook. We're a very active group and we're actually taking an off-road trip together on Saturday. We have active members from all over that hang out there, too. www.facebook.com/groups/houstonraptors

And I think I may know who owned your truck before you, too.

That is my old truck... No lift, front on mid perch and the "cheese" lights are pretty common on the trucks in the area. Made a mistake by selling it as Ford has changed my build date 2 times for my 14 on order...

Cool. thanks. Congrats on the new 14 on the way. Im sure that will be really nice. You did an awesome job on getting those SVT center caps on the aft mkt wheels. the color changing SVT badge was a little much for me but to each his own (no offense meant there with the cheese comment). I guess the dealer broke the SVT lighted bezel in the console. i was going to replace it but will prob just leave it the way it is. I also noticed that the exhaust tips look to have been painted black or were maybe replaced with black. Anyway, maybe when you get your new one We can go off road if you go with the HARO group.

the aftermarket wheels with those Open country's and the SVT center caps are what sealed the deal for me. It was love at first sight.

The Terrain Raptor was my second truck and was absolutely flawless with no issues. Sorry to hear your dealership broke the SVT logo cup holder - You can contact William Anderson (vendor) at Corvette and Camaro Modification Products | The Double AA and he may be able to build you a replacement. The SVT center caps was an expensive mod, 100% machined aluminum made by a vendor on the FRF forum - the center caps that came with the wheels are (IMHO) as you say "cheese"... Truck hasn't been to any of the HARO off-road events, didn't have the suspension modified yet and didn't want to bend it up. Don't forget, it's just like any F150 "out of the box" and if you treat it like a BAJA truck without making proper modifications to the suspension, you are asking for major trouble. I hope you enjoy it...

sounds like you had a plan for it as far as mods. What mods would you recommend for it to be able to handle BAJA type terrain occasionally? or what mods did you plan on doing?
