Raptor Confession

[Soldier64]

Thanks for the support fellas! I absolutely cannot wait for this truck to get here. As far as unique I think so because even the Exchange New Car Sales guys said they have never delivered one here. All the ones purchased get a stateside delivery. I know there are Raptors in Germany and I'd love to meet a few and do some international off roading!

As for all the mods in the living room, I need to find somewhere over here to install them. I own no tools over here. I left them at my buddies house when I was moved. Also I am not the most mechanically inclined with vehicles and would hate to screw up the Raptor. I need to find an english speaking modification shop is what I need...

Well now...this could be interesting.
Best of luck, you will always have plenty of help form the folks here at the forum.

Yeah, I can do vehicle work but I'm not a mechanic. After reading poste here though I feel like I can do anything with the build threads and pictures of step by step installs. Y'all are awesome!

Forgive me Father for I have sinned...

I am sitting in my office in Germany thinking about something I thought i should share with the group.

I have never seen a Raptor in person, yet I spent $52K on one, several more thousands on Mods in my living room, and the truck is currently on a boat over here...

I have; howver, owned several Ford trucks and have loved them all, and fell in love with the Raptor when they were talking about designing this beast of a production vehicle. I have no doubt I will be the happiest person alive when it finally gets here, but I was wondering if I'm the only idiot that did this?

Had not even owned a truck before. Took it for a 10 min test drive and decided it was time to let the mustang go. Raptor came home with me that night. No you are no where near crazy. These trucks sell themselves honestly.

I hear you on that. Since I started driving because of build threads I have installed a supercharger and headers (mustang not raptor) and am about to figure out how to upgrade my raptor suspension. I am no mechanic but when people take the time to give you great instructions and help you out it is pretty easy.

Thanks for the kind words! I have headers and an exhaust to install, I want to do the mid perch but need to find someone to do an alignment first. It'll get there just little by little. So many military Raptors we need to do a Military Raptor Run!

Man you should see how many there are down here in Norfolk. It is freaking awesome. Not many are modded but it is so damn cool to see them all.

A military run would be pretty damn cool. I would definitely be in.

You're not alone... I've owned two SVT lightnings I raced and this time around I really wanted something to take off road. Walked into the dealer with no intention of ordering a Raptor, and said F it I want one.

Oh great, a 64 pilot, that's all we need around here… Haha, just kidding sir, it'll be awesome once you get it, but maybe better when you get back to the US of A, I know a few Raptor owners in Germany and they hated parking in those mini parkplatz.

Haha, could be worse, I could be a Hawk pilot... Just kidding!

Parking here is one of my biggest concerns. I live downtown in a small German town and there is no way it will fit. I am considering keeping my little BMW to drive around towns and such and keep the truck on post... Still undecided on what the best course of action is for my baby.

But while in Germany I might as well
