My god that blue. Is perfect on that car. You took it without the dealer doing the PDI?
Thank you, I couldn’t agree more

I sure did. I let them adjust the tire pressure, and take it out of transport mode, that’s it. I will be removing all the plastic, installing all the goodies, and fluffing her up myself. I have had this car planned for 2+ years, I can’t wait to play.

Congratulations man!

I just arrived in Boston last night and I see the weather isn't the best. When do you think you're gonna have real seat time? Or are you putting it away until spring?

Honestly I don’t know for sure. I do not want to drive it until it gets PPF installed week of January 6, that’s for sure. When rain washes the salt off the road I will more than likely take it out on good days. For now, gonna love it and play in the garage.

Wow looks amazing in that color.

I thought you had a Ranger no? Did you also upgrade your truck to a matching Raptor?

She got filthy being towed home on the open trailer in a rain storm, so I wanted to get her clean for all the playing I'll be doing before the PPF.

I have been looking forward to snooping around under one of these for a long time!. These are pictures of the brake ducts from the grill opening, to the rotors.

This car is pretty low from the factory. I had to use my race ramps to get the lift arms under it. I used these really nice pinch weld lift pads to get a good lift point, and not damage the pinch welds. They have magnets to hold themselves in place, then just align the lift arm pads and you're good to go. The last few shots show how well this worked for clearance.

I am not installing anything yet because the car will be getting paint protection film installed the first week of January, but the front flaps I bought will fit perfectly! I like how they fit flush with the side skirt extensions.

As far as the interior, all I did was unwrap the seats to see their beauty! Finally I have confirmation the rear seats are in fact alcantara. I have been wondering this forever, as I have not seen anyone show the rear seats in a picture, or video.

I left her on the lift for now, so I can revisit her and check out some more stuff later this week. Feels great to have her home!
