I installed the Pedal Commander, Corsa Extreme exhaust, Bed Rug, and BakFlip HD Tonneau Cover. These were the first upgrades to my 2014 SCREW SE. Also rolled 18,000 on the odometer with a trip to Houston to see Alan Jackson. What a great weekend!

What did I do to my Raptor today? I introduced my 2013 to the new 2017 Raptor. New Raptor buddy brought his 17 by the house so I could take it for a spin. Very very sweet ride. I was pleasantly surprised how much power it has. Then I let Bruce drive my Raptor I didn't mention the PC that I had set on Sport + 2 and he about shit when he pushed down on the pedal. Along with my 2013 being SC he had a very big smile on his face. 4ccd3f5cf7629249eccafc07d1880080.jpg

Great looking GEN1.
That cap on the GEN2 makes it look like a plumber truck. I can just see "Bruce's plumbing and HVAC" sign would look really good on it.

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.

Do you have a link to where you got the vinyl? I am looking for Kawasaki Green to replace my stock rd one.

did you try googling it

I am finding tons of vinyl wrap for cars but not thick vinyl. I am still searching. I have since found some marine vinyl but it is a lot more expensive than what he paid. almost $20 for a yard. I think he said he paid like $2.50 for 1/8 of a yard.

Holy crap, now you've got to post a picture of you in the same pose making the peace sign like that guy so that those of us who have no idea what you look like will be able to understand how similar the two of you look! :)
