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

More bass than I really need. I listen to all music and my audio books are fire now

LMAO!

Yeah IDK - I called the company that owns Northstar/Odyssey and they are checking on warranty since they don't produce the Northstars anymore. I was told that 3.5 years is a good run though, so IDK.

- Experiment to simple buff the AVS logo off the hood shield was a fail so found a Raptor decal to cover it. Was hoping it would also fit the steering wheel as I did a carbon overlay. Nope, too big.

- Repainted the “Raptor” inlays on the side steps in ruby red (body color). My red crinkle finish paint was another fail. Didn’t crinkle and too bright for my taste.

- Next to touch up paint my wheels. Previous owner definitely had some fun!

New member here...Just got a 2018 Raptor and loving it. Decided to make a custom Raptor emblem out of aluminum on my Fiber Laser. Turned out pretty good!

So I've had covid all week and been home, today is the first day I'm feeling antsy. I polished my carbon fibarZ fender flares last summer as they were looking faded and dingy - kind of like when headlights get foggy. I thought the polishing would do the trick, and it did for a couple of months only. So today, after I installed the thing a few pages back to secure the locking mechanism in the door handle, I decided to sand the flares down a bit with 2000 grit. I'm no detailing expert, but in the research I did this is the best way as you really just need to remove the top micron or 2 of the top layer. The epoxy on these seems very thick so I'm not worried. I'm worn out due to covid I guess at this point but the driver side is sanded, now (well, soon) I will polish the ******* up for the final product. Then I'll move over to the passenger side which is actually a bit worse. Here is a pic of the sanded flare - I didn't polish the entire piece, just the top part that had the damage, generally the parts that face the sun.

Will post a pic after the polish.

One of my friends re-cleared his carbon parts with automotive grade clear coat. He says the clear they use on some of these carbon parts has a tendency to turn yellow and fade rather quickly. I know it happened with my Anderson parts. I just took them off and sold them. Hope you get better man and show us the results when you have it done.

Thanks. Mine aren't yellowed at all, I'll take a pic before I start sanding on the passenger side, you'll see the issue. It's just sun/environment since my truck is outside all the time, I have no garage parking.

Changed filters, dirty as hell, 10k on engine and 25k on cabin

Got some interior trim pieces but they only came in “carbon fiber” so painted them performance blue

 

[nikhsub1]

LOL that you think those filters are 'dirty as hell' You clearly haven't seen dirty filters.

One flare done, 3 to go...

View attachment 445753Wanted to replace my OEM battery since the intelligent access started acting up on the passenger side. Based on some research, it’s apparently one of the first things to go when battery is running low. Went with yet another forum recommendation and got an Odyssey! Had to drive 90 mins away through SoCal traffic to pick up this bad boy.

Bought the same battery online. Delivered to the house
