Raptor Sightings/Spotting (on the road or parked)

[oxfordraptor]

Spotted this one at the Joliet mall. Like the color, looked like plasti dip.

Is it a Raptor? I couldn't tell. Maybe they should put graphics or something on there that lets you know it's a Raptor.

Maybe if they painted it a brighter color, it would be easier to spot and identify it as a Raptor.

I went to an audio shop to price out headrest monitors and the guy said he had one in the back he was working on for a girl. So he walked me back there and all I could say was WTF... Why? And when I said more money than brains he didn't disagree... It had blue lights EVERYWHERE including under body and wheel lights and they were in the middle of installing train horns behind the grill. Yes behind the grill. It was dirty as hell and obviously poorly taken care of. Stains all over, starbucks cups galore and you could barely tell it had the blue stitching on the seats they were so dirty.

I had a thread about my wife wanting her RR more girly and even she shook her head and said NO WAY when I showed her that pic...

Was her name Raptor Princess? The pink camo would have totally been up her alley.

My air horns are tucked down behind the front bumper behind the grill and my air compressor connection is up high behind the grill, I guess I don't see what the problem with that would be. Only possible negative to mounting the horns up front would be what big blue had happen many moons ago to his. Some type of impact on the front causing damage and an even more expensive fix, but hell most of us have lots of lights up front anyway $$$$ The possibility of hitting a deer or other front end collision on Night Raptor is what caused us to seek out an insurance company that would actually insure full dollar value for our mods.

Not sure. They came from Brooksville is all I know and her husband has a F450 they've done work to as well. Behind the grill just seemed like an odd placement to me as I've always done them under the rear but everyone has different tastes I guess. I reserved my front for lights and with the heat here I don't want anything else blocking the front end possibly causing it to run a little hotter. Might not affect it at all but I don't like taking the chance.

Oh...so since you've always done it a different way it's wrong...cool story bro.

Did you look at the link I attached? The horns are behind the bumper and aren't blocking anything. Have you looked behind the grill at how much room there is? We were just discussing adding a light bar to mine, I can still fit 2, a 30 and a 40 if I'd like, even with the airhorn and the 4 whelens I have in my lower bumper. Kind of like how Yukon has 2 bars, a winch and 2 whelens....no issues with heat. But she's my grocery getter/ soon to be mommy mobile so I really don't need that much light.

Plus, regardless of the girls lack of taste in color schemes and filthy truck, you are assuming that she came in and said install these horns under the grill. My guess is that she said install these horns and they(the shop you went to to install headrest dvds, which in my opinion are gay on an off-road truck, but as you said, everyone has their own tastes, I guess) picked under the grill because its easier than under the bed. Ps... Depending on your offroading situation expect occasional water/mud horn under the bed. That's where Yukon's are installed.

Now I may seem a little snarky, you can blame that on my being pregnant or not... Either way... Opinions are like ********... You're opinion is that this is not a good mounting position for horns and this poor, hopefully color blind, chick deserves laughed at for it, my opinion is headrest dvds are for tools..

But truth is that this is a perfectly fine mounting position for horns, only drawback as I've already mentioned would be front end collision/projectile.
