New from NorCal

Long and short of it, I kept the wife’s 23 Wildtrak when I bought her a 24 HLE 2 door in Yellowstone. Had ordered a Stroppe edition to replace the Wildtrak but at the price plus markup I opted for a 24 Raptor in Shelter Green for a deep discount and traded off the Wildtrak. Couldn’t be happier! It’s getting tint and PPF right now and then will get the Ford winch kit and Exoedition One rear bumper/tire carrier I had in boxes for the Wikdtrak. I’m also adding the three light DD kit from 4x4truckLEDS I still had in the box and swapping the Rigids over to another Raptor front bumper (new takeoff) to install on the wife’s HLE. One thing for certain is this Raptor is blast to drive, can’t wait to get it off-road!

Congratulations on a beautiful Raptor. Get it down to So Cal when you can to open it up high speed on some great desert terrain.

Welcome to the forum and Congrats on your new Raptor! Good choice on going with the Raptor, a decision you'll never regret. Limited editions are cool and drive nice just like a base Bronco, but not a substitute for major hardware upgrades that makes a vehicle, like a Raptor, Fun to drive.

Yeah hers is fun to drive and I liked the Wildtrak a lot, but no comparison to the Raptor!

Definitely on the list, in-laws are down in Santa Ana so at least have a decent excuse to add to the trek!

Thanks Tye! I’ve received the parts you told me about on the other forum about the rear bumper. Going to get it done Easter weekend and hopefully all the front bumper and light changeovers! The side profile pic makes that wheel/tire combo look epic!
