Edit: I wonder if the raptor has a different install process. This is a great video on the install that I did:

Very similar besides some parts look different (for the better). I just remembered you bought the 270 version so not sure if that process is different.

I installed the Diamondback SE on a 2025 Raptor in December 2025. I did not remove the bed caps to install shims under the bed caps. The shims did take some effort to slide under the bed caps.

I did remove the bed caps for a previous tonneau install to cover the holes/weather proof.

I grabbed a set of these frame plugs too, but not sure I'm the biggest fan. They fit well, but the softness of the silicone rubber makes them feel like they're going to pop out easily. I can remove them by brushing my pinky against the edge... I've lost bed rail post caps which fit much tighter than these in a wind storm before. (We get hurricane force winds here every so often).

I'm exchanging them for these, which are supposed to be EPDM rubber https://a.co/d/0fvQJDvP and were only $2 more. Hopefully they'll be a tighter fit. Will report back.

So what a surprise the Amazon description is wrong on this set. These are in fact silicone rubber just like the rest. That said they do fit a little better than the other set in my opinion. They have a second lip which wraps around the outside tube edge instead of only being a straight plug. Brushing against it just curls the edge instead of completely popping it out.

Thinking I'll keep these, though I'm a bit miffed that I could've had these for $10 cheaper through the link waffle shared (this set https://a.co/d/079ZDX8U)

I am still fiddling with it. I think blue.

If anyone but you fuels your Ranger
Yellow denotes Diesel fuel
Blue water
Red Gas
That would be my concern.

another eventful day of going to work

Oil & filter yesterday @ 3700 miles. This was my 2nd oil change, installed Ronin drain on the 1st one, so this was my first chance to use it, much neater. Also rotated tires, checked pressure and checked all fluid, everything looks good.

Today, added CarvenSpeed Stubby Jr antenna. I discovered last week that when I entered a parking structure, the factory 8" antenna hit on the height warning sign. Would have preferred the Stubby @ 4" for better reception, but because it wasn't flexible, I was concerned that if it ever made contact with something it might push down and damage the roof, so 2" Stubby Jr it is.

A silicone bead around the edges will keep them secure.

ill be honest the door already has a nice seal so I think this isn’t a must have for most people. I’ve noticed I get sand inside the because of the key pad and going to the beach.

I like the red suggestion.

I will bet the sand is coming in the drain hole.
