DonJuan692006 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 i like the flat black on the tip, blends well +1. On the road noise, I actually just got some new carpet to put in and planned on getting some Dynomat to put in while I have everything out. I want to coat the entire undercarriage but have a few more mechanical issues to get removed first. I was grabbing some Plasti Dip at Lowe's the other day and Rustoleum has an undercarriage spray with sound deadening material mixed in but I haven't checked into it too much yet. I was hoping you had used something similar and could provide some feedback. The truck is coming together nicely. I would highly suggest throwing an aftermarket tune on there. I did with my Stang and man did it wake that thing up. I checked with my Ford dealer before doing it and even got the OK from the service manager that they would continue to honor my warranty unless they found that any issue stemmed explicitly from the tune.

2008fx4 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 im not that fortunate to have cooperative dealers here in tucson. theres a guy (5 star) that comes highly recommended on the raptor forums - i might just give in and get a programmer.

DonJuan692006 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've heard really good things about Lund Racing's tunes. I'm running a tune from BAMA who's a subsidiary or American Muscle. Its not bad but I've been debating on having JLT do one since they're local and can put the car on a Dyno to really get the tune dialed in. Going the email route, I had to go back and forth with a tuner tech for a week to get mine running right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorSVT Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Looks good! I'm running the JLT on my Raptor. Small price to pay to help the engine run a bit cleaner! 2008fx4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008fx4 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 spent some quality time up at Addictive Desert Designs today - venom series front/rear bumpers with rigid 20" combo e-series and 60* diffused duallys respectively, and their rear brace/bumpstop kit with fox bumpstops and custom deaver leafs. only have pics of the bumpers now - once i get the truck cleaned up i'll post up some better ones.

JBlack151 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 That's going to look awesome. How are you running the 20 inch? Is it going to be hooked up to your highs or on a separate switch that the Raptors have below the radio? I did mine on a separate one just because that thing is so freaking bright. 2008fx4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did mine on a separate one just because that thing is so freaking bright. im running it off one of the upfitter switches. had the same setup on my f250. worked fine. all the switches are fused and relayed, so theres no issues.

2008fx4 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 decided to break up the gray of the grille/lights a little bit. just a subtle change with black satin vinyl. had a local place do it. also had them put some clear paint protection film on the painted space between the door sill and the running board to prevent that painted area from getting too beat up.

matts88yj Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Very well done! Looks great! I'm a big fan of Rigid lighting. Have a set on the Jeep for reverse lights. The flush mounted design on your rear bumper is very clean! The new wheels and tires set it off nicely as well. Looks like she's ready for some fun in the desert! Keep up the great work!
