Hello,First Time Raptor Owner...and having a blast!

[Daweism]

Hey Daweism..
Love You Too.....LMAO....Come on up to Wa. and I'll buy you a beer and take you for a ride you will not forget ...
Its the fastest vehicle I've even drove...

May suggest you coming to Texas instead since your truck is such an enjoyable ride, why not take a scenic road trip?

 

[Ricoman]

TOUCHE" you got me on that one..!! But then I wont be able to take you for a ride in my (now Ford guys,be easy with me) Corvette.....and before you Touche me again...NO..not going to TOW it behind the Raptor...although that would be a pretty site...
Might take you up on it one day...my GF is pestering me to do a Cross Country trip....but cant get time off just yet from my new Walmart Greeter job I had to take to pay for Gas & TICKETS...

Lol man, must you must be bored to be working that job!

HAHAHAHA...ya got the BORED part right..!! I just retired after being self-employed for 35 years and the Raptor was my gift to myself...Now I have to find ways to amuse myself other than driving it all the time or I WILL need that WalMart job..!

Can anyone point me in the right direction to ask this..or give me some advice here....I found some lighting threads,but seemed like dealers and guys selling lights....
So looking to put some Rigid Pods in front bumper and use the Bezel thats sold for a clean flush look....one question is....I believe the lights come with wiring,but alot of places sell special RAPTOR HARNESS that extends the wires and lets you plug right in to Aux switches in cab.....is it worth the $50-$60 they want?
Also,if anyone can give me their 2 cents on my selection (still deciding)
But was going with Rigid D-Series Pro Fogs (White-SAE Approved) on outside & Rigid D-Series Pro Driving (Amber,off-road only) on insides....I mostly need for Driving on Interstate and home on 30 miles of country road with lots of Fog & DAMN Deer (they like Tacomas!)
Here is the link to the 2 sets....Want to get this right the first time,with what looks like close to $950-$1000 when done...
THANKS

There are several good vendors on here which sell Rigid that can get you set up. I've purchased through @Rick@FreedomMotorsports before and he is very knowledgeable and great to work with.

Thank you sir for the shout out.
@Ricoman, sent you an email. Looking forward with helping you get a few mods under your belt.
Congrats on the Shelby. I remember when they were first announced and would love to have the Shelby Baja 700.

THANKS HORN...I'm checking them out now.....Hey Rick,thanks..will get in touch.....YEAH...I looked at the Shelby Baja,but $110K was just out of my budget,and really didnt need the extra add on like that cow-catcher front bumper and back bed spare tire holder...wanted a more stock look...so mine doesnt have the $45K "Package" with those....but got the "faster than shit" Shelby package and graphics,and was fully loaded from factory.And still cant figure why a guy that had $80K into a Raptor didnt put "Fogs" in front bumper....but if thats my only complaint....I did good...
And from reading all the messages from all the guys on here,and a few funny "hate you" messages...almost a month into ownership I still walk around with a grin....
