What did u do to your raptor today?

[IDI-Charlie]

My Raptor is mentally preparing to get the rear axle dropped tonight. Last parts I need are slated to come in tomorrow. Thursday morning after work is going to be a scramble to leave for Durhamtown Friday!

Swapped out the halogens for LEDs in the dome, map, vanity and backup lights. Waiting on puddle lights to arrive.

Bought from SuperBrightLEDs:

4410-NW8: Natural White $3.95 (Dome)
194-NWHP5: Natural White $4.95 (Map)
74-NWHP: Natural White $1.85 (Vanity)
921-WHP10-TL: Cool White $15.95 (Reverse)

The new map lights are crazy bright but Im getting used to it. They are natural white 4100K and 95 lumens. Dome is 4300K and 60 lumens



Stock on the left, LED on the right. So much brighter at night.

I started driving across the US last weekend and have been taking a timelapse of the whole trip. So far I've driven from Virginia Beach to Atlanta, and I'll be heading north in a few weeks and then west in April. I wanted to test out the timelapse function and cut this pretty cool video of the tunnels up in Hampton.

I’d love to do this. Are the bulbs plug and play?

Not OP but yeah they're plug and play. Its awesome he added the part number and light intensity. After I had a bulb go out I ended up going ham at Oreillys and just buying whatever they happened to have, so having stuff a bit closer to factory is a nice touch.

One of my friends who does a lot of night driving changed his out for red LEDs so it affected his night vision less.

Yes they are. Very simple install. Go on youtube to see how to remove bulbs

Driving it to SoCal from Vegas on the Autobahn/Ho Chi Minh Trail also known as I-15 road has gone to hell and with the idiots on the road not a easy drive.

Finished my second day at Durhamtown - one heck of a weekend. Unfortunately I now have lots of plans for the truck and my wallet will suffer greatly.

Alright boys, I was out exploring the north of Georgia and while out I ran low on fuel and rolled into the closest gas station and I must have caught them between fill ups because they only had E15. I threw a few gallons in and went on my way. Didn't feel like any loss of power or anything negative, but when I sat down to eat later on I starting surfing the web and looked up effects of ethanol on our trucks and it seems like a lot of people "avoid it like the plague" to "Id rather not use it, but sometimes is okay" to one or two slap happy "ITS THE BEST STUFF OUT THERE"....

Anyways I ended up filling up with premium as soon as I got back into town to try and dilute whatever I had in there, close to 28 gallons of premium.... The truck states that E15 is okay on the fill port, but I still feel worried.... am I overreacting?
