What did u do to your raptor today?

[Ruger]

Consider yourself lucky. My truck, along with most others I have seen grille deflectors just weather away into pieces. For reference here is what I installed

09-14 Ford F150 & 09-14 Raptor 3 Pc Rad /Grille Air Deflector Set with Fasteners | eBay

2009 to 2014 Ford Raptor. 2009 to 2014 Ford F150. Simply put, my set will outperform any other 3 piece set available. This set forces air where it is intended “the radiator & intercooler”. Then here is a much LIGHTER, FLEXIBLE & TOUGHER solution.

Mine are 12 years old and are intact and undamaged. I had no idea that such heavy rubber material could decompose! It's good to know that replacements are available. Thank you, sir!

Yup mine only has the lower one left.

I've replaced those twice on my 2014, they are fairly cheap at the ford dealership. You need to give them your vin to get the proper one for the driver side. Raptor is one piece, F150 is two piece.

The last time I took my truck to the dealership (years ago at this point) they literally ripped off my grille deflector and threw it in the trash. Didnt mention it to me, just let me figure that out on my own. Among other things they did as well to disrespect me and my truck, haven't been back since and you couldn't pay me enough money to even consider ever going back to a dealership for any reason.

Installed Billiebars and Ironman 4x4 rooftop tent. Goin' camping now that summer is over. I HATE summer!

Big THANKS to @Gumby for help* with the Billiebars.

*Help = Gumby does the surgery, I assist and hand him surgical tools.

Those are the 8-inch rise Billiebars.

Looks great. I love the lower tent mounts. But how do you access things in the front of your bed? Crawl?

I use some large plastic totes with handles that are easily retrievable.

Oil change today also topped off brake fluid, coolant was good but due for a flush in the spring.

Brake fluid should not really ever need to be topped off, unless you are replacing a bunch of parts, or replacing all of it like for a flush... It is just a sensor to let you know that your components are wearing out (pads and rotors etc).
Not a huge deal if you do, just means that next time you do a brake job and conpress the calipers to reinstall, it will overflow the reservoir since it is a simple hydraulic system and is now "overfilled".

Not really a "What did you do to your Raptor today" post but I recently acquired a pair of really clean and crispy set of night vision image intensifier tubes to swap into my Mod3b Manual Gain Night Vision Goggles.

The Omni-VII tubes were fine, but I can get a bit more low light performance with the new tubes so I don't crash the Raptor when driving under extremely dark conditions.

What tubes/specs? DM if you want.
