What did u do to your raptor today?

[Wilson]

I use to leave the key's in my truck up until 2009 or so... just started looking the door on the house all day use to just lock at night after I had kids... before that nothing. I still have a gun at the ready good luck you bastards

Picked her up from the dealership!

The good:

* New rotors and pads all round
* New cats apparently mine were blocked
* New transmission mount, somehow it was snapped clean in two
* Oil change and filter


The bad, it has to go back wednesday for:
* transmission diagnostic
* work out the clunk in the steering
* Replacement ac vent

Yay ESP & premium care, total cost to me so far $100!

Replaced the red steering wheel stripe with the Joann marine red vinyl mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread.

You have to buy a minimum of 1/8 yard of material for a whopping $2.50. It's really a nice grade of vinyl and the perfect shade of red.

Here's the old strip on the left which I used as a template to cut the new strip. To get the original off just take a box cutter or exacto knife and nip the 3 threads holding it and it will pull right off. I also picked up some heavy duty matching thread and my wife had some fabric glue laying around. You can see how much material you have left over on the right.



You want to fold over about 1/8" on either side and glue it in place so you're left with a nice rolled edge.

Finished product

Hi t_j,

Let me know how things go on Wednesday; I'm always just a PM away if you need any help. What's your Raptor's model year/mileage?
