What did u do to your raptor today?

[jdruzik]

washed underneath of the truck and was going to wash the outside too but rain rudely stopped my detailing day Gotta love Adam's In and Out spray, it made those sandblasted liner's look like brand new. It's way too easy to use and realized that i sprayed every rubber part i could find
Cleaned both side of tires and lug nuts too. I hope tomorrow doesn't rain that i can do rest of it.

That's very slick. I have only one problem and that concerns the front end of my truck. Where I live during the spring the insects hatch by the millions. When I go one kilometer it looks like I haven't washed my truck all year. I need a deflector shield such as they have on Star Trek.

Does the In and Out spray make things stick to what ever you applied it too?

Out with the old:



In with the new:

how did you do this may I ask? Nice springfeild.....

Took me a while to figure out what you were referring to lol. It's an H&K VP9.

Yea I need to know as well. Mine looks like crap.

It's actually pretty easy. Someone else did a pretty good write up here. http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f5/what-did-u-do-your-raptor-today-25089/index1018.html#post932959

Jo ann Fabrics has the Marine vinyl, you get an ass load of it for a couple of bucks. I picked up some Bish's permanent upholstery glue, curved needles and heavy duty upholstery thread from amazon. The curved needles made it really easy to sew it together and cinch it down.

The hardest part was cutting the old one off lol.

After cutting the old one off I Measured it and the folded edges and cut out the new one.

I used a couple of spring clamps to hold the folded edges over while the glue dried. (3 minutes my ass) I used some of that glue on the steering wheel itself. You'll see where to put it once you take the old strip off.

It looks a little wonky in the pics but it's just my Michael J Fox like camera skills.

Thanks for testing out the capacity of the Raptor! Now I know how many bags I can haul home today. Home Depot has bags on sale 5 for $10 today.

The wife saw that and signed me up for that as well this weekend.

Thanks for the info. Where did you get it for a couple of bucks? I looked on the Jo ann website and I couldn't buy less than 1 yard.

I guess I could go to the actual store.

Just walked in and asked them. They had a it in yellow, black, red, and grey. They have a minimum amount you have to purchase which basically tuend out to be something like 6" by whatever the width of the roll is 4' I believe.

Looks good!

What did you use to dress the tires?

That's very slick. I have only one problem and that concerns the front end of my truck. Where I live during the spring the insects hatch by the millions. When I go one kilometer it looks like I haven't washed my truck all year. I need a deflector shield such as they have on Star Trek.

While we are still working on the Adam's Deflector Shield, try some Liquid Paint Sealant and H2O Guard & Gloss on the front end to make it much easier to get the bugs washed off.

Does the In and Out spray make things stick to what ever you applied it too?

Nope, just the opposite. The In & Out Spray will help keep stuff from sticking, making washing easier. It also adds UV protection for the plastics.

Yea Ill do that. Thanks.

Much better than my original plan of buying a new steering wheel for $300+.

Installed my new S&B Intake, SCT tuner with 5 star tunes, and Black Widow Race Series True dual exhaust. Then cleaned her up and parked her by my brothers Powerwagon and my bagger Jeep. What do you guys do with your tuner cables that connect from the tuner to the OBD? Just leave it run across the dash or up under the dash?

I know exactly how does that look like. When we go salmon fishing up north, truck looks ridiculous after the drive there. Cleaning must be frustrating during that time. Those stick pretty good on the paint after a while.
