What did u do to your raptor today?

[Jakenbake]

Put the bed back on to fit the panels with the cab. Not too bad on the passenger side, drivers is going to need some work, but one bite at a time.

If you know, you know. Pushed this off for too long but relieved to finally have it done. I hate doing electrical work.

Looks like it is leaning down on drivers side? Is it just sitting there, not bolted yet?

The bed is bolted back down, driver's bedside just setting on the bed, passenger is partially bolted.

If you are referring to how whole bed looks tilted, it is a combination of a few things. The softer deavers, stiffer front coils, pretty sloped driveway, next to no weight in the bed leads the springs to be in the softer part of the progressive zone and with the gas tank loading one side will result in a more obvious lean

The $23 generic Chevy "LS Swap" dipstick arrived in 4 days. The $280 B&M unit designed for the 6r80 (that was ordered 2 weeks ago) still hasn't arrived. Time to break out the tools and MacGyver this to the Ford casting. I'm guessing the actual hardware to make it work will be less than $50, even in virtually worthless 2022 money?

I had the same issue with the 6r80 dipstick. About $400 landed in Canada. I built my own with a connection going into the pan. Welded a fitting on as well as a drainplug while doing a service. Set the fluid level with the factory mini stick then calibrated the new stick.

All trimmed up, dovetailed and aligned with the cab, fitting and sandint is why there is glass dust all over the bumper... About to come off and get 3M 2080 wrap n the G212 Mettalic black.

The ADV sides take a touch of fitting.. In reality, tho is nearly none compared to the other brands

Looking pretty good. I ended up going with the M227 matte blue metallic.

I don’t really have it to compare to other glass, but I agree it really hasn’t been that bad.

A few questions:

Did you have to take much material off near the top/back? My tailgate fits real tight to the bed side at the top right now.

Did you have to extend the fuel filler neck?

There was a really thick spot at the top right near the latch post. I cut out that spot, its right on the edge..

I totally cut off the fiberglass taillight tabs too, but I left the sheet metal taillight mounts welded on the inner bed frame and just cut them off the OE bed side.

I loosened up the clamp on the filler neck and was able to get the existing hose to reach but I think the vent hose went flat because gas pumps shut off.

I think both hoses need some work to work right.
