I went with standard wheels they are decent and lighter. I figured at some point I'd probably go with an aftermarket of some kind, so not worth the extra cost for the BL wheels.

I'm planning to stay at the recommended hotel, but I've got to wait until spring next year.

Smiles per gallon :)

I've had quite a few people compliment or asking about the truck. They love the azure gray, or just curious about it because it looks so much different from the standard ranger. Quite a lot of people don't know what a raptor is.

Nice thank you. I've got a few things I'm planning to paint, so trying to piece it all together to do it at the same time.

Even with Rust-Oleum, they have several different products. Can you send links or pictures of the paints you used? I was looking at this: https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/auto/truck-bed-and-undercoating/professional-grade-truck-bed-coating and...

I like this a lot. I was thinking about trying to match the bumber color, but I think the texture and color you did work really well. Which brand and color bedliner paint/clear did you use for the front plastic piece?

How many cans of spray paint did it take you for the job?

I installed it with that weather seal laying on top of the tailgate. I don't know if that makes a difference.

For my first modification I just finished installing a Gator SRX from RealTruck. It was a pretty straightforward install. The clamps are a bit of a pain because you almost need three hands for that part. https://realtruck.com/p/gator-srx-roll-up-tonneau-cover/v/ford/ranger-raptor/2024/

Distance is more the factor for me. I'm on the east coast. This is 3000 miles away. Even if it were free I wouldn't be able to make it. I'm planning to go to the RR assault school there in the spring though.

Interesting, but being on the east coast I'm going to have to pass. Even if it were free that's a long drive for a one day event.

My R mode is set to Sport, Comfort, Normal, and Baja with 2H. I might have to try it out and see if it feels any different in 4A.

I'm about 1k miles in. I'm getting around 15mpg with mixed city/highway. I noticed that if I'm in sport mode and switch to baja exhaust, I get an extra 1.5 mpg. Not sure what that's about. I'm curious what combination might give the best mpg now.

I messed up the cover model in my description above, I ordered the Gator SRX from RealTruck. https://realtruck.com/p/gator-srx-roll-up-tonneau-cover/v/ford/ranger-raptor/2024/

I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes with the Signature Lux. I've been reluctant to pull the trigger on others because I'd rather not have to mod anything to make it fit or it being dim. I hope they are bright enough at night as well.

I was originally drawn to a Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter. I had a place in line at a dealership for almost a year. Then the pricing came out. Between the heavy MSRP and the 5k markup I declined. It turned out to be a blessing though. The usual suspects from this category were on the table, the...
