get a white raptor!!

 

That looks sweet....think I have seen that Raptor in another thread or forum before as I recognize the KMC Spy wheels and bed mounted light bar.

I love all the colors except that black is out of the question considering we get a lot of blowing wind (dust) here and that would drive me crazy. I had an all black Bronco Sport that was lifted and looked like something Darth Vader would drive; it was beautiful but drove me insane trying to keep it looking clean.

Anyway, my choice so far is:

1. Flame Blue
2. Silver (tied with white)
3. White (tied with silver except for the fact I just had a white FX4)
4. Orange

I really wish they had a Candy Red or Grey as those would look great with the stance and black trim/fenders.

 

desert dawg, join up at fordraptorforum.com, it's the evil brother of F150online for raptors and anything goes


also race red is a rumored color for the 2012 model year, we will see though. I would love to see it, but like the EB motor in a raptor, I am doubtful..

If I went with a Scab my colors would look like this:

Blue Flame
Silver
Molten Orange
White
Black

If I went with a Screw my colors would look like this:

White
Silver
Blue Flame
Molten Orange
Black

I found this chart to be somewhat helpful when I was trying to picture the colors all together... However nothing beats seeing real pictures or even better seeing them in real life to make a decision.



I am with you on the black and dust... I HATE dust! Also you wouldn't believe it but the difference in just the color dramatically changes how the truck looks between the two cabs. To me the blue flame makes a scab look tough, but when its on a screw it seems too soft... I sometimes am too critical though.. :o

 

^^^^ great pics FX4life! And yes, I am a member at Ford Raptor Forum although admittedly been trolling whilst I decide what I am doing.

I would love to see that Race Red too on the Raptor but I am not going to be able to hold out that long. Funny how you thought the blue looked too soft on the 'Crew because I thought the same thing but still really like it. My concern is that it might be too much of a trendy color and I might tire of it in a few years (like that is a real concern for me....lol). But the blue is definitely the sportiest of the group outside of the black (which I won't do), and not a huge fan of orange.

If I don't get the blue, it probably will be the silver only because I don't want to go back to a white truck that looks close to what I just had,

And I am not going with the graphics no matter which color I pick. I think they look cool but just not me.

 

I pretty much just troll over there too and post every once in a while. Between there, SVToffroad and raptorforumZ there is a wealth of pics out there to help in the decision!

 

I vote blue raptor!

 

Yeah, not a fan of the dirty "uncensored" talk at Ford Raptor Forum as they sure live up to being the devil twin and I get enough of that as it is (and I like having my kid share my interest in car forums without the excessive foul mouthing) but there is a lot useful info there.

I got a hoot out of this thread with the supercharged Raptor:

http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f65/2...cab-build-921/

yah!

 

well if you do get a raptor, on behalf of all members of f150 online, please post the mods and pics, haha

 

Yeah it gets pretty bad over there. When your kids aren't around check out the thread about getting everyone banned from raptorforumz also look for the thread about that orange autowerks trucks warranty thread... He wants warranty work after all that work?! I would make any drive to make that dealer my dealer of choice if they warranty his trucks stuff!

 

hehe...thanks MTP....I do have some in mind already.


Yeah, he must charge a pretty penny to warranty extensive engine mods like that. If their shop was closer by, I would definitely consider it. But I'll check out the thread...thanks!

 

OMG!! that procharged raptor is badass!!!

 

Dawg, here are some pics I have been using in my decision. (hopefully the pics are uploaded right I used my iPhone..)

These two plats have a subtle yet very aggressive stance I love!




BUT you cannot beat these bad boys, really this is a very unfair comparison!




Props to the owners of these vehicles! They are all awesome!

Here are some comparisons and interior:





I have been thinking and researching on this for sometime, if you couldn't tell I want the perfect raptor!

 

Both of you get the Raptor and be done with it! The 6.2 with a tune, intake and exhaust will flat out scoot! (from the researching and asking) Plus has what you guys want on it already and different than other trim models. Plus you get bored, which ya will in a year or two. Supercharge it and be right on par or better with a EB. Def. no graphics, the blue pops nicely IMO.

Or buy the cheapest Lariat you can find ($35K) and use the money left over to bolt on a long travel setup front and rear. Come out equal to the Raptor's cost or cheaper, yet have a way better truck for in the dirt. ( I know you guys probably won't use it to the potential with this setup, yet just a option).

 

I have some prior commitments keeping me tied up until June/July... I am chomping at the bit impatiently trying to stick it out...


an SD (like you mentioned earlier) with a carli long travel under it would be awesome too!

 

I know the feeling, end of the year I can safely say I will no longer have those for a long time! Learned a lot since owning this truck in all general aspects.

For the price a fully loaded super duty is/will be going for shortly(same as the raptor) than set aside a few bucks for the Carli kit and have the suspension capable and power on tap. Yet, when I do this going to have the truck paid off in 2, 2-1/2 years tops than mod it. (was impatient in my past and wasted a lot of dough that way, how does that old saying go? Awe yes, Live and Learn
