The 3M rubber eraser wheel has been a great friend to me over the years with detailing, I still have a couple new ones in my tool box.

I agree, if they were the slim line style that ran all the way and essentially meet each other at the B pillar I'd probably keep them.

I have a set of the slim ones in my Amazon watch list now. Glad you are familiar with the rubber wheel, they are a real time saver!

I need the weather to cooperate on a day I have nothing to do so I can get the truck detailed. Previous owner loved drive through car washes with brushes. of course the rain plus all the salt on the road...drives me crazy. Until then, a few driveway pics.

Yep..I'm with you there...Before reality set in when I was shopping for Raptors I couldn't believe Ford charges $2000 for sticker options that cheapen up the look of the truck. Most of them have the option too unless you order one without.

Lol I absolutely agree. Stickers=

Before buying this truck I looked at a molten orange 2011 raptor and it had the black splash graphics, hood graphics and a black vinyl roof. Completely took away from the rare color of the truck. Not saying it looked bad, just wasn't my cup of tea.

Looks good! About your truck bouncing around, try lowering the PSI in your tires. The 2015+ are quite a bit lighter than the 12th gens and don't need anywhere near as much PSI in the tires. If I run more than 40 in mine, I don't get full contact with the tread in the rear. I run 35 cold and 40 warm, just enough to give a good ride, full contact, and doesn't effect gas mileage. 20k miles on my tires so far and they still look brand new. Oh and I vote Bilsteins as well haha.

I'm gonna drop them down to 40 and see what happens and go from there. Once it dries up I'll do a chalk test.

On a side note, apparently this weather is my fault since I spent 2 hours cleaning the truck up.

Hahaha you must have done yours before I did mine yesterday. I did a full detail and the rain was just east of me.
