Ok so today I just got finished installing my desert designs front bumper. What took so long was that I had the BAJA Designs 30” bar already installed in the grill. If you are like the majority of raptor owners you probably have the adaptive cruise control so you will have to relocate that when installing the new bumper. I wanted to keep my 30” led bar and have the adaptive cruise so I made new brackets for Add relocation kit so that both will fit within the grill. Worked great looks good and no issues with cruise or radiator. FYI it’s doable .b74c533a011091c26ed8d53eccbad7e3.jpg43d9f83c5fcd2d89757bb5ff9d2bb31d.jpg692eadbc8aa0bc6792af669207f741a1.jpga8bfa0c48b5f22bddcb77892367cad1b.jpg

Is this avalanche on a gray day? Looks like something in between avalanche and leadfoot.

Hopped into my beast way too early and went through the car wash on the way to work. There's nothing like a nice shiny Raptor cruising down the highway :)

Wrapped the subwoofer in sound deadener...





I’d like to say that I can hear the difference, but no discernible change to my untrained ear. Maybe a bit less vibration...



Regardless, hardest part was getting the seatback pulled forward on my Super Cab truck. Very tight fit, and no side release like there is on the passenger side. Once I figured out the correct part of the release mechanism to pull up it wasn’t too bad.

I rigged some blue hobby wire as a temp fix; bought some thin wire rope for a more permanent solution since I’m all out of bicycle brake cable at the moment...well, any not in use anyway! Will make a simple loop around the release secured by a ferrule, and have it retained by the headrest post with another loop, ferrule, and stop.

all I want to know is how the heck did you get to the release mechanism in the first place?! I can't even get a view down the back of the seat let along get something down there to open it.

If you fold the seats up first you get ALOT of room to get your hand back there

Thanks to the above posts and link, was able to figure out how to release rear seat latch. Used a lanyard I had laying around and needle-nose pliers to wrap the end around the latch release. Works like a charm! Free storage space!

Leadfoot can really lighten up during certain lighting outdoors.
For sure; I'm curious if it's leadfoot looking bright or avalanche looking dark. That's really bright for leadfoot; could also be camera effects.
