Sorry to report guys that my Raptor is down and out due to accident. I just spent the last 5 months getting the truck to the point were I felt I was extremely happy with the product of my personal add-ons etc. I did a cold air intake, 8" Alpine Nav system, Spray box liner just to name a few things. I purchased the unit back in May and never had a disappointing moment with the truck. Big thanks to this Forum and those who assisted me But I will be back.
I was approaching a intersection and the person coming from the opposite direction turned right in front of me, It was dark and wet but I don't know how they did not see me. As they crossed my path I yanked the wheel to the left to avoid her and a head on collision. All I remember is seeing the side of the car and and the air bag going off. The truck along and the front right wheel went in separate directions down the street. No serious injuries driver of car was taken to hospital with back pain. I had some small minor cuts and thumb injury probably from hanging on to the steering wheel so tight. Shoulder a little tender from the seat belt but is fine now. Liked how the Sinc system pulled up 911 to dial and turned on the 4 way flashers for me. Have to see if they are going to repair it or write it off. Will post some pics when available.

Damn Derrick, glad you're ok. The Raptor can be fixed/replaced. You can't.

Keep us posted.

With all that has been happening lately, lets count the blessings first… I’m glad that everyone is looking back at only bend metal.
