What did u do to your raptor today?

I couldn't find blue thread parts to match the blue interior, so had to buy on line and install the covers on the existing parts.

Thought there was a thread around here where some guys purchased the cheaper cover and then dyed the stitching blue...how did your covers turn out?

I think all they did was use a blue marker to make the thread blue.

They turned out fine. Just a lot of work, especially the console lid getting the round corners down without folds or wrinkles.

Finished off the cell phone booster install. It was a pain finding a 12v switched power source. Even using forscan to kill the powerpoints at key off didn’t work.

Installed the antenna with a Larid specific hole saw. It’s a 3/4 NMO mount with a phantom antenna.

Spent a few hours today cleaning Wyoming off my truck. Used @AdamsPolishes Pressure washer and it worked well. Tried their Leather Conditioner for the first time ever on the interior and wow that stuff is freaking brilliant.

Glad to hear that you like the pressure washer!

I agree, the Leather Conditioner is my favorite product!

Thank you for your business!

Wasn’t quite today but I pretty much ruined my GEN1 last week. Got parts off so when I get better will have a decent sale to help on my medical expenses

@RDFTS what the heck happened! Glad your doing okay. I saw this on noah's thread. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Going to find another Gen 1?

Rick glad you walked away from this. Just saw a post on instagram for a fundraiser for you. I’ll be sending some funds your way tomorrow. Get well.

Rolled it about 3-4 times. Going around a corner and the rear slipped out and within seconds I went into the ditch and the rolling started. As we were rolling, I just kept thinking I am alive and when will it stop. My wife was screaming the entire time. We stopped right-side up on rubber which was amazing. She looked at me crying with blood running down her face and asked why did I do that. All I could say was I was sorry.

We both stepped out on our own. Went to the hospital to get checked out and other than being somewhat sore we thought we were alright. My right chest hurt and they said to keep an eye on it.

During the night, I was having difficulty breathing and my neck was getting puffy with air. Went to the near by hospital and after a cat scan, found that my lung was collapsing. They put a tube in my chest so I could breath. Was there for several days and it wouldn’t seal on its own so the med air lifted me out to a Denver area trauma hospital.

I am still in the hospital, going on over a week now and not close to home.

Don’t think so on another GEN1. My wife is so touched on the raptor community and how they have helped so much so far that she wants me to build up my GEN2 and keep off-roading and she said she will still ride with me. But that will be awhile as we are dealing with all the medical cost and being out of work right now. I just want to get home.

Get in on those raffles that Chris Kelley is doing, there are some great items that have been donated.
