I considered that but the oil below the red line doesn't drain unless you remove the whole plug. Kind of defeats the purpose at that point. I think I'll just drain it into a 5 gallon bucket from now on.
Too bad the factory valving and live valve function is now ruined with that much lift…Rpg 2 1/4 adjustable collar installed today. Ride is a bit firmer and less brake dive. Time for some 35s and lighter wheels.
The mud flaps are a great addition to your Ranger Raptor. Thanks for sharing!Added 10hp with these "Ford Performance" mud flaps.
Pros:
OEM look, super easy mounting (the holes are already there so you just remove the existing plastic grommets and put the new ones into the holes in the mud flaps that align perfectly with the factory mounting holes).
Look like they came from the factory.
Shipped fast via usps.
Cons:
Expensive ($185 or so...)

Yea, I do sort of see it now that you mention it. LOL

Sounds like you did mostly, if not all HWY miles on your maiden voyage home. What did you avg for gas mileage?Just got it home last night after driving it 13 hours, ~850 miles from Henderson, NV. Requested they didn’t wash it, I preferred detailing it myself, and it was covered in bugs by the end of the trip. Plan B worked out well, my original order still hasn’t shipped.
Thrilled with how it drives and besides a hood realignment needed, (driver side gap is too close near A pillar), the rest of the fit and finish is good on it. Super pleased with this truck!
Handful of photos I took picking it up, where it sat overnight, and from the trip home.
Spent all day thoroughly washing it and detailing the interior. After a business trip into SE Washington next couple days, my break in will be done and I’ll be ready for the first oil change?
Yes mostly highway for ~850 miles and average was 16.8mpg. I was varying RPMs a lot though - paddles were great for frequent downshifts and manual mode to hold different RPMs. I reset before another business trip early this week and averaged 20.2 on the highway then.
