Shipped the original headlights out today. This truck really comes in handy.

Maybe I missed it but any info/pics on the Whipple install. Did you install it yourself? Any issues/tips. Are you impressed with the power increase?

Not yet...Its sitting in my basement waiting. It looks like they have a new tune coming out in a few weeks that will address some of the minor issues.

I have some time off work in the coming weeks, I hope to tackle then.

2016BoostedGrayGoose has a plan for them. We worked out a trade that will net me a Lariat HVAC bezel so I can stop fiddling with the temp **** all the time.

haha...Never saw that version of the movie. I remember the original one where Buford Pusser drove a Corvette. I did find a couple screen shot of Dwayne Johnson's truck from that movie and you're right kind of a modern update.

Thanks for pointing that out!

I've had this Raptor steering wheel since before I took delivery of the truck. Finally got the nerve up to dye the sightline camel.

I still have to connect the shift paddles. The steering wheel also has heat and the other bezel has provisions for adaptive cruise so the fun is only beginning.
