Oh damn you ordered two?? Spectacular. Starting out with the weathertech and bed rug is such a pro move. Cant wait to see this beast finished

Thanks I cant wait to start doing the real mods (bigger power) I ordered the MPT Tune today will have it next week up and running.

Hi welcome and congrats! You are off to a nice start!

Let us know if we can help you with any upgrades or maintenance items. We Got Everything at Got Exhaust and offer discounts to all the members of FRF!

You guys have a website ? or maybe a part list you offer? I will reach out if I need something to see if you guys got it before I purchase. Rather give my business to Forum Sponsor.


LOL. What ya wanna know? You are from IL hope you get to see this thing in person maybe one day when its done.

Congrats on the new truck. Look forward to following the build.

Thanks I will update as I go. Plan is to do one mod a week lol or more. I just ordered the Tune should be a good Mod for next week. I will take the truck to the dyno for pre #s and post #s as well to show everyone real dyno #s. I will also drag the car at the 1/4 mile on stock tune vs MPT tune just for fun and to see the dif in speed.

I am curious about the 20+ cars in 2 years. Why so many do you get bored with them or are you so critical that if there is a fault you sell. I would think you would lose a lot of money unless you are a dealer.

Yea man its been a hell of a ride, Im a car nut I get bored fast. But here is the past two years in a glance

1. 2018 Raptor
2. 2018 Tahoe

MPT tune ordered today :) Cant wait to see how it behaves once here. I will call up my buddy with a Dyno to see if I can do a before and after pull of the truck for you guys. I will also do a full Video on the truck once the tune is on and take it to the track (1/4 mile) to see how it behaves.

Hey Guys,

Just a little update. My tune is suppose to be here tomorrow according to the tracking #.
My wheels show location in California lol so who knows hopefully this week.
My RPG 1.5 inch Perch Collars should also be here tomorrow if not by Wednesday.
I have to reach out to ChiefMachining about my custom center caps for the new method wheels that are on the way.

I will be getting the carpet bedliner as soon as I pick one out (def black in color)

I will post pics of stuff as it comes in

I will also most likely be adding a TV in the back somewhere or both headrests since I have a 15 month old baby girl so that might be in the near future plans.

Other than the mods I already got on and coming, Im gonna focus more on performance mods for this truck in the future. Im waiting for companies to come out with power packages with a bit more power than what Whipple offers. I know their product is great quality and a lot of good reviews on it, but I know more power packages are around the corner for the Raptor especially being only released in 2017. Time will tell if nothing comes out soon, Downpipes, Intake, Exhaust, and maybe turbos are in this trucks near future.

There was a thread on here not so long ago about this kit and company. You seem to be more into power than suspension upgrades, so I figured I'd post a link in case you're interested. https://www.full-race.com/store/eco...-f-150-raptor-freakoboost-twin-efr-turbo-kit/

Here's the thread. http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f261/800hp-59998/

Thanks I dont know how I missed this thread. lol I appreciate that. Yes Im most likely gonna focus on making this truck go fast in a straight line but I wont ignore the suspension and other parts. I don't wanna go crazy I have a GTR to go fast :baby:

Thanks for sharing the history behind your previous projects. Looking forward to seeing the Raptor when it is complete.

Thank You. It will def be attention to detail for sure. Im working with a few shops on a few dif little things to add some attention to detail to this thing. Cant wait to get it done for Summer.

Hello Guys,

Just a quick update. I got the N Tuner today from MPT. I'm currently downloading the stock file off the truck to the N Tuner to send it via e mail to MPT and they will send me back 3 tunes specific to my wants/needs. I will def want a full out as much power as I can get tune, a towing tune since I know I will be towing my GTR to a dif state for a show this coming May and also maybe a stock tune if possible in case I need to go to the dealer for anything warranty related.
