What did u do to your raptor today?

Oh boy, don't know if I want to open that can of worms right now. Should I still worry about relocating those hoses even if my rockers are filled with Fluid Film?

Just keep on fluid filming everything until it looks like a Japanese cartoon.

I would DEFINITELY still locate the ends of the drain tubes in the rear rockers… yes the fluid film obviously prevents moisture which in turn stops rust. But it’s not meant to be applied within puddles or pockets of water. my passenger was JUST long enough for me to touch it with my finger tips inside the drain hole. My driver side however was too short, I could not feel it in the drain hole. So I opened up both panels on the inside of the cab and from there once I located them i put brass barbs on and extended them, at that point I could reach them and bring them outside of the drain holes in the rockers. It’s a REALLY good piece of mind knowing that water isn’t just sitting in there.

Retaped the rocker panels. What a royal pain in the ass. I undercoated the truck previously so it took forever to clean the existing oil off. Also cleared debris from the drain holes.

Tried to relocate the sunroof drain tubes but couldn't find the hoses at the rear of the rockers. Any advice for a 2014?

Nice man. What tape did you use? I used ZIP tape. Super sticky but not gooey. You can also get it in pretty wide widths so you only have to use 1 piece

Do you remember the barb and hose sizes?

No but this was the size tubing I used. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbil...x-20-ft-Clear-PVC-Vinyl-Tube-714517/207144404
So whatever barb fits in snug

I just used Gorilla tape I had sitting around. Probably gonna get something wider tomorrow and redo it. Is that Zip tape holding up well for you? I see Lowe's has it.

Yeah man, been on since last October . Through heavy winter, and off-road use. Not peeling at all, still has its glossy finish to it aswell. It’s weather proof so it’s gonna hold up really well. It’s expensive for just tape but it’s really high quality and you can tell it would hold up in the elements.

Any cooling issues with all the lights?

No. The big round Rallye's are on the push bar that is out ways and airflow can go around.
