Oh man I hope it wasnt Ciocca, they are nothing but shyster, almost bought a super duty from them before the rapture and glad i didnt. Would like to get out there someday to wheel and visit a friend

Ya it was Ciocca but I wound up getting a pretty good deal since I paid cash for them and had more leverage since I didn't need them to secure me financing. They had the most Raptors on their lot at the time. It was ridiculous they had about 20 just sitting on the lot. I'd be down for a trip to the Pine Barrens for sure maybe we can get something setup with a few other guys.

Not supposed to haul those lying down like that........

I believe it is Plasma TV's that shouldn't be laid flat, I think. 99% of TV's now seem to be LED's, which I'm pretty sure are ok to be laid flat. That being said though...I bought a 70" monster LED a few months back, and I propped that bitch up just in case!

you are already probably noticed that we're a little slow in this part of the world
:crazy: Trust me you will see those one when i know what to do for that engraved part on these. I don't think sealant protect's enough from salt but would still want to keep the "look" that these have. So be patient ;)

Ya you guys definitely are lol. I tried painting my engraved part red but I didn't like how it turned out and removed it. I sprayed mine with the Aimsoil metal protectant and seems to be working ok. Not to mention since I seal it with Adam's Quick Sealant and the H2O Guard and Gloss so often I'm not really concerned with road salt hurting them.

You shouldn't lay any flat but however long they are lying down stand them up, they will be fine then turn them on.

Correct Plasma you did not want to lay flat due to the substrate. But any flat panel TV should not be laid flat just due to stress on the screen making it much easier to break. They handle Bumps and stress much better when stood up, when laying down they can flex and crack. But I have seen 1000's of screens laid down with out issue, also plenty that were laid down or placed on an edge and cracked. It all comes down to handling of the screen.

You would cringe at how many $5k+ screens I have seen cracked as the were being mounted from guys putting hands on the screen

Updated my Sync software which was a major PITA for some reason... but I guess it could have been worse because I didn't lose my Raptor screen at start up post install.

Also added 56 horsepower with a new steering wheel emblem overlay and fixed my rattling radar detector for the second time.
