Picked up my 2018 Raptor on Sat!

[Jfrio]

Hi all- just grabbed my 2018 Raptor this Saturday and it does not disappoint. I love it. I was wondering if the community could help me out?

1- I did not do the decals on the hood or the back- what do you guys think? Should I add them? It seems like you can get some for way cheaper on Amazon and have them installed. I am up in the air.

2- what other modifications are a must?

3- I was going to get the undercarriage rhino lined this week- good idea?

Any and all advice is welcomed. This is my first Raptor and I want to do it right.

Thank you all!

Nice!
1. Personal preference; up to you
2. Go to Raptor Assault if you can, Gen2 guys here will be better able to help beyond that
3. Yes, again many knowledgeable people here that can and will assist no matter the question
Enjoy!

Congrats on the Raptor.

1. I'm not a big fan of the decals (and orange inserts) and actually looked for one without them.

2. Lots of mods and tunes are available. I'm staying with mostly stock for now.

3. Have no experience with undercarriage rhino.

1. I actually looked for a truck without stickers myself. Found a good deal in one with only hood stickers. They’re coming off when I have it ceramic coated. Everyone I’ve talked to seems to agree that’s the best look.

2. Ceramic coating/Xpel or something to protect the truck is a must for me. After that I’m still working on what mods to get but the potential Cobb offerings intrigue me for sure.

3. If you are getting into a lot of salt maybe, otherwise I’d pass.

First of all, beautiful truck! Congrats & welcome to FRF!

1. My ‘18 does not have them and that was my preference. IMO it looks cleaner.

2. Bed liner, short antenna & tinting the front windows. Agree with comments on paint protection if its in the budget.

3. It would depend on where you live & how much you intend to get into harsh environments.

Lots of great expertise and information here. Do your research.

Enjoy!

Nice truck ! Mine didn't have the graphics either but plan on getting something custom done probably with a carbon fiber look not sure what yet I've been searching for something that catches my eye. I put mud flaps on mine and a window cam so far. Getting some kind of shell or bed cover just haven't made up my mind on what yet?going to order my A-pillar led spot lights next week and lots of other plans but these things get pricey real quick !

1. no decals - better look
2. short antenna, "decked" truck storage in back, Leitner rack, pedal commander
3. Rhino in bed, flat black in wheel wells

picked up the Pedal Commander. That looks pretty awesome.

I will keep posting as I keep adding.

Thanks everyone!

No on the decals, IMO
mods? Shit, its a big country...definitely fog lights in the pockets and reverse lights
I used Fluid Film for my undercarriage, working well to minimize rust.

Marlton NJ? Keep an eye out for the raptor Runs in the Pine Barrens, good people, good times

 

[Jfrio]

Hey Frank N- yup Marlton. Raptor runs. I like the sound of that!

Who did the under carriage for you? I have Auto Dogz in Audubon ready to roll to do the Rhino undercarriage for $250.

Looking for the lights behind the grille, also for fogs and reverse. What brand do you recommend? Rigid, Baja or a cheaper version- Im good either way but I know you can go a lot of different ways. Looking for opinions.

Thanks!
