So EcoPowerParts has a great web page for this kit with all the oem p/n's you need as well as multiple videos for different parts of the install. When I emailed on Sunday night with a question, he got back to me in less than 30 minutes...

Its not cheap because OEM raptor stuff is rarely cheap...

EcoPowerParts Raptor Steering Wheel kit $355.00 (two ckt bds for the switch packs you buy below, steering harness, console harness)
FPP 17+ Raptor Steering Wheel $525.99 (from Summit w/ free shipping, I think this can be found for $100 less than what I paid for it, sometimes getting it quick, i.e. in stock, costs more)
Drive Inflator Module (FL3Z-15043B13-AB) $187.87 but with shipping => $318.79 (hazardous/dangerous material)
Clock Spring (HL3Z-14A664-A) $90.84
Switch Pack (HL3Z-9C888-BA) $48.36
Switch Pack (HL3Z-9C888-EA) $48.70

So all in... $1,387.68

So a bunch of money... at work I talk a lot about ROI, return on investment. Many of us spend about this amount on leaf springs, bumpers, traction bars, etc...

First time I took off from a stop paddle shifting with my right foot pressed to the floor board... grinning ear to ear... money well spent... and its a better looking steering wheel than the Gen 1 wheel...

You're right, its not cheap, but it isn't outrageous. If you have time, you should start a new thread for this steering wheel install in the Gen 1 section-interior mods, a few members would benefit from this info.

Yeah maybe someday ill do the wheel but for now its all maintenance. Also had a light condensation on the windshield the last two days. Hopefully its just the really rainy humid weather we have been having.

Decided to try @AdamsPolishes VRT, first product I have used from them and I am very happy with the results. I did all the trim pieces and the results speak for themselves. Easy wipe on and thats it. I would like to try some of their other products and report back on those also. I have always been a fan of turtle wax products, but like to try other stuff from time to time. I only got a before shot of the rear drivers side bed rail, you get the point though....

Its slick after applied, I wouldnt say greasy though. Definitely not as watery as mothers "back to black", it has a polish or liquid wax consistency.

Nice.
How long does it stay like that? I get about 1-2wks with just about all product I’ve tried before it goes back to faded out….

That I cant say, just started using it, if you look it up on amazon it tells all the details. I didnt see anything in terms of how long it lasts. It has ceramic qualities and UV protection. I will report back when its on for some time. Going to try it on my tires next.

Got my rust preventative goodie bag all ready for tomorrow the rest is at work.

Definitely going to be a long and dirty day. Im taking many parts off or apart to get behind them. Wish i had a lift though lol
