    @Westin, I've got those Morimoto lights on my Raptor. Don't forget to remove all the ballast boxes on the back of the lights the boxes are for Halogen conversions. Raptors all come with LEDs and If you leave them in line they will eventually cause you all kinds of weird lighting issues and codes. Been there.

      Yeah, but putting gears in and putting them in right are two different things. I didn't see any gear marker on the teeth of the ring and pinion, so I sure hope that the gear mesh is good and the pinion lash is set. We'll find out when he drives it.

  • @lanceripplinger8352
    @lanceripplinger8352 4 года назад +1

    The Raptor is such a cool, mean looking truck. Makes you wonder why GM or RAM have never built a competitor (though I guess a Ram 1500 TRX is in the works). These trucks hold their value really well to, and good luck buying a new one at sticker price apparently; they usually sell above sticker by a tidy margin.

    Looking good that Raptor. I'm 67 years young, am I too old for a new pet raptor? I know it's too tall for this old guy to get up into. I bet that the seats are nice and comfy and the ride is it soft and cozy like the 95 Buick Roadmaster I once owned. I don't think that the misses would go for a new truck rather than a newer home, moving out of the suburbs and back into the country. Wait a minute, in the country, you can hunt raptors there. Maybe I can still get one.
