Installed some R1 Concepts Rotors and Posi Quiet Pads on all four corners of the truck. Also swapped out all the brake lines for Stainless Steel and also swapped the hard lines on the rear axle for the 2010-2012 so i could use SS on the caliper connection.

So instead of flaring the lines, you just ordered and replaced them with an older part number?

Got back from the MDM run and tried out @AdamsPolishes total interior detailer from my mystery box. Works great, SOOOO much dust and dirt removed. Still need a good way to get crap out the grain in the door panels and such.

Glad you liked the Total Interior Detailer!

For the dirt stuck in the grain of the plastic door panels, use some Leather & Interior Cleaner and scrub gently with the Cockpit Brush to loosen the embedded dirt. The Cockpit Brush has gentle bristles so it will not scratch the plastic. Just using a towel to wipe doesn't always work, as the towel may not get into the grain of the plastic.

here, on frf
And where is the thread on the above light mod? I like that idea, especially for under the hood.

not really a thread on it. i have done this for quite a few raptors. mostly its the people who have seen my truck at offroad events and then ask me to have this done.

Does anyone have a parts build list for Noah's bed lights and engine bay lighting.

i can put together the parts and send them out to you, if you like. its a hood and bed package


the led strips i have are extremely bright with 180 light pattern. having light strips in 2 different locations and running across the hood, allows it to not cast dark shadows. since light is emitting from so many locations, you head no longer blocks the light. i spent quite a bit of time researching what options would work the best and testing many different light setups. i found strips to be the most effective.

Yep. Figured if I cut and flared, the flare would have been too far back that I wouldnt have been able to take advantage of the mounts near the leaf springs. Works great! New hard lines were about $60 if I recall.
