I have ordered my wheel from AutoNation Ford White Bear Lake and I received my harness from BGG. I opened the packaged and thought wow that is it? And I mean that in a good way. Boosted has done an awesome job of making a simple factory looking harness with very detailed easy to follow instructions. For a little over $400 I will have a working raptor wheel installed very soon. I fully admit that I am a qualified former mechanic, but this is a very simple install. If you are on the fence go for it. I guarantee you will be able to do it if you can turn a screwdriver. If you have any troubles this forum is here to help. And worse case if you absolutely decide it is not for you, I am positive you will be able to sell the parts here and get your money back.
Big thank you to all that made this happen!

And... what seems to have been lost in all of this is how big of an upgrade the actual steering wheel is all by itself. I thought my Lariat wheel was decent but this one is so much better (looking, feeling) it's almost a shame. You're getting a great mod with the paddles but a much higher quality wheel as well.

Yeah this is one of my all time favorite mods, right up there with adding OEM ambient lighting and BLIS, power folding mirrors with puddle/spot lamps, Lariat dashboard/door panels, and a few other mods...lol This one you see AND feel right away.

If you didn't have it before then that's an entirely different tutorial - check out @lucas8888's work HERE (& don't forget to give him a Paypal donation for all of his hard work )

I just finished wiring mine up, the wheel should be here this week. It took me longer to figure out the size tool to remove the 3 screws that hold the steering wheel housing cover on, than to run and solder the wires. FYI it is a 5.5 mm socket or nut driver. I started up the truck and the column shift buttons still work, so I think I am wired up correctly.

Has anyone done this recently and taken pictures of how you routed the cable and soldered the connections? I know it's one of those things that can be done a number of ways, but I wouldn't mind modeling after a "professional" type install. Thanks.
