What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

How far away are you from gold beach?

We are 102 miles north, according to google maps.

Today we drove on the beach, a little windy, but fun.

Been lurking for a few weeks now and had parts waiting before the truck even showed up. Many thanks to all the useful members and threads on FRF.

My 2020 802A SCrew showed up on my birthday. I've already done the following:
- tinted (20% over fronts)
- made a custom wiring harness for future plug and play
- Added the Baja S2 Reverse kid from @OffroadAlliance.com
- Hardwired my valentine , installed built right/67 designs combo and snaked the cable up behind the dash, small hole with a grommet keeps it clean,
- @Swarfworks license plate mount for my 4x4 permits
- Sprayed 4 cans of Amsoil MPHD on the frame I haven't even hit 250 miles yet, truck is awesome. No regrets getting rid of my 2014 Silverado 1500.

Are you on east end of LI?

ExoShield is based out of Ontario. My installer really likes the material and has had great success with it. It takes about 3 hours to shrink though because the material is thick, so your installer has to know what he is doing—it is not like window tint. My shop put it on a F350 that travels from Florida to Montana and the owner of that rig loves it! So that sold me as I will be making similar trips. The material is clear and you can’t even tell that is on the windshield. I will update things after this summer as I have some cross country travel planned and some off-roading trips in the mix too

What happens in winter/ice situations, like when you need to scrape off ice and snow?

I have been looking at the fog light kits all over everywhere, and amazon has some rigid lights which are white when on and sync up with the amber parking lights. They light amber cornered like the parking lights do when on.

Thinking that is the way to go but not sure yet. Very clean Raptor.

Why not buy them from a site supporting vendor? I got my lights from Nick at Apollo Optics.

Yes. I came across a bunch of your posts during my pre-delivery research. Die-hard surf-caster and have a small center console.

I've had a pretty good season so far, been good the last couple days with the bigger fish. I'll move this to a PM.

Nice!! We have a house in gold beach and I know Oregon has great trails so I was trying to find guys to hit the trails with when I was in town

I have lived in Idaho/Montana and never had a problem with frost. Turn on your heater and let your windshield defrost. I don’t believe in scrappers as I am not going to scratch my windshield to remove something. It doesn’t matter how careful you are when scrapping, all kinds of fine particles can be mixed into the ice/windshield from driving and so on, which is nothing but a recipe for scratches.

As I noted before, ExoShield is made in Ontario, so they are no strangers to winter weather. The ceramic coating on top of the film just gives it added protection. I also added it on the windshield wipers just to further insure that no debris sticks to the wipers causing scratches as the wipers function across the windshield.


I picked up my truck this week after it sat for five days. The film is clear and does not effect visibility—even with my 3M 50% Crystalline full windshield tint. I am very pleased.

Glad someone is doing good, cause my season ain't.

Do they have the amber parking halo lights that power white when on?
