What did you do to your Bronco Raptor today?

Anyone have the awe exhaust yet? Is it much louder than stock? I've been bummed with the exhaust options so far. Nothings loud. SPD downpipes helped a ton but I want more
I am hesitant for the same reasons as you. I want obnoxiously loud if I’m dropping 2500 on exhaust. I want the SPD but don’t want to invest my time in the install nor do I want to pay for it. 💩

Spd makes a big difference. It's at least somewhat lively sounding afterwards.
 
First mod after bringing it home last week. I Installed the DV8 bull bar. I'm very pleased with fit and finish. Really like the fact it doesn't interfere with the grille lights or Ford lettering. It's not as pronounced as the factory bar on my Wildtrak, but like the clean lines for the Braptor.

The bull bar looks nice and so does the new Shelter Green!
 
I had the Eruption Green in the regular Bronco and liked it. I like this green better. Looks real nice!
 
So not all today but over the past week. A set of LUX lighting rock lights. Really nice simple install since there is no drilling required since they are magnetic.

Also picked up a Diabolic rear enclosure used for about 1/2 price. I picked that up this morning and had it installed in about 30 minutes since most of the fiddly assembly was already done.

Finished up the speaker upgrade project. Decided that the kick panel speakers can be upgraded without an amp...introducing the 100db efficiency Memphis MOJO pro MJP6 speakers....worth every penny! The amp is a Kicker Key 500.1 driving my upgraded sub - the rest of the speakers are infinity Reference 407s. Now it's a proper sound system!

RPG 3' WITH MAXXIS RAZR MT 40/13.5R20 ON VORTEK 20X9.5 0 OFFSET... NO RUB AMAZING RIDE.
Love that setup. Can you give me the measurements to the centerline (of the wheel) bottom fender lip please? I am trying to determine how high I want to go but have no actual numbers.
 
Installed Code Orange metal door pockets, I'll likely never remove the doors so thought I would add some utility along with door interior accent piece. Purchased the door pockets from Amazon and had them re-powder coated in Code Orange matched with a matte clear top coat.
Code Orange matched to: Prismatic Powders PSS 11189 Super Durable Orange
UPDATE: Prismatic Powders now has Ford Code Orange PSS-11333.​
Top coat with: Prismatic Powders Clear matte PPB-4509
I choose to leave the OEM net in place to assist in holding any placed items, but the net may also be left out.

Those look great. I got some from amazon, but they are durable plastic. I like these but I need that extra bump out for my water bottle. If I find another bottle I may take your idea and run with it. Thanks for the Color code and top cote code. That might be good on some other parts.

How do you like the Diabolical rubber mats on the top of the enclosure? I've been thinking about adding them to mine, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Are they firm or soft rubber?

I like the mats. They are firm but I'd describe more like a dense foam than a rubber. I think they are actually Marine decking material. They do a nice job of holding the 2 - 8 gallon Action Packers that I use to store my recovery and inflation gear in place on top of there with a ratchet strap. No sliding around and since they are on the foam they aren't scratching up the painted surface. If I had to buy a unit from scratch I would get them. Just wish I could get them without the large Diabolic logo cut into them. I think last Christmas Diabolic was including them for free if you bought a unit from them.

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to know. They were an option when I bought the enclosure in late '22, but wasn't sure at the time whether they were useful or not. After taking a long trip with a lot of gear stacked on top, I like the idea of a cushioned non-slip surface on the top.
 
Have a few acquaintances with inferior equipment…Jeep…Chevy…GMC…Ram…Toyota, and know a couple of guys with battery powered tonka trucks. Felt the need to add a couple of features to my Raptor lineup to help them back on the trail and keep up!
