@OCMike Absolutely.... I would love to have ya come over and mess with stuff with me, or I can come to you either way. Hey speaking of the Raptor wheel, there appears to be lots of options of where to buy. Did you just get from TASCA or somebody similar or did you find a better source?

I think I did buy that from Tasca, Recently I've been going to AutoNation White bear lake. Most of the time a their prices are tad cheaper and their shipping is significantly cheaper.

Both have very good service. One of my console parts was scratched when I received it. Tasca replaced it no questions asked.

The Raptor wheel I bought had all options. Adaptive cruise and heat. The part number was HL3Z-3600-DA.

@OCMike So you got the wheel with red band, and dyed it right? What color is the stitching on your wheel? I was actually thinking of doing the model with the orange band, it also has orange stitching. My thinking is it might kind of looking better with my Marsala interior, but I supposed if its an obvious miss, its gonna be a BIG miss. Just hard to tell from the pictures I can find how noticable the orange is.

Yes I dyed the sight line Lt. Camel. The stitching is grey unfortunately, it doesn't look too bad though. I bought a shift boot with beige stitching that I haven't installed yet. It honestly doesn't look that much different than the gray. At the cars and coffee the one guy asked if I had the steering wheel redone with different stitching to match the rest of the truck...go figure.

Just a few pictures during the Whipple install. Ya know looking at these make me think of something we said on the Powerstroke pages... "Built not Bought" and I realized I am now one of those "Bought" guys. I justify it because I feel like I have paid my dues over the years with many "Built" projects, including a whole new long block in my 6.0. I am just at a stage in my life where work is overwhelming and I realistically have more money than time, if that makes sense without sounding like a douche. I knew if I was ever going to enjoy this truck (anytime soon) I would have to pay someone to do the heavy lifting.

Only really necessary to make it lower and easier to access. I used a small scaffolding to bring me up to the truck level.

Looks like they removed the radiator and AC condenser. I didn't do any of that on mine, I assume it was to make it easier to change the OPG.

Yeah..I kind of cringed when I saw that too. Some plastic wrap could sure save some grief later. I'm sure Rayo will check that out before he picks it up.

My dealer is very good about those kind of thing, when I had it in for recall stuff. First thing they do when they see the beige seats is throw a plastic bag over them, and they are not even OE seat covers.
