What did u do to your raptor today?

[2014RubyRed]

Man the cig lighter reminds me of my parents house in the 70's where we had like 30 items plugged in to one outlet.

Retro... I like it.

All you need now is a bungee cord up to the mirror to hold everything up!!!

Installed 4 Apollo lights.



Got 4 of the 5w Apollo lights from @Nick@Apollo-Optics. 2 amber and 2 flood. Wired them to #3 & 4 of the upfitter switches. Install would have went better had I remembered what Nick told me about not using the wiring harness that came with the Ridgid mount kit. They use the same connector but the polarity is reversed. Spent about an hour trying to trouble shoot before I realized the problem!

Nice. So when are you officially opening up an off-road raptor shop? @t_j

Spent hours trying everything to get the stupid stuck bed bolt out. Ended up just spinning so had to cut it off. Now the bed needs to come off to put a new clip with nut on. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the inner front driver's side bolt. Really limits options to get in there.

You can cheat! Take the front four out leave the back two in. Then use a ratchet strap to a rafter to lift the front enough to slide the new nut clip in!

Sounds like a full day, got some good practice on the knuckles, mine should be no problem then eh?

7am-5pm!

However, spindles only @t_j could literally knock them out 25-30mins a side, maybe less!
