White Chocolate Mocha (1st Gen Raptor) #starbucksprerunnergang

[Donttellmywiferacing]

Figured I’d get like the cool (old) kids and ditch the OBS for a #starbucksprerunner



So the hunt began. I wanted a first gen, white or silver, preferably paint matched, and as low miles as possible.

Sure enough I found a white 2011 with 117,000 miles in Riverside, even better it already had King 3.0s front and rear, was painted matched, and came with 6 Robby’s

I'm glad these guys (whoever they are) put this together I am sick of social media and have missed forums a lot since DR finally folded.

I've got a big bag of em in my center console: Baja, the DTMW logo, and the Santa Cruz/White Claw bootlegs, just let me know!

Nice! Seems like all of the OBS/Bronco peeps are going to Gen 1s now. I pick up this 2012 next week finally.

Since I bought too old of a truck for Sync 3, I decided the first order of business was to upgrade to the Sony 9500-ES so I could run wireless carplay, GPS, offroad GPS, and a bunch of other cool features. 10/10 recommend this unit. I didn't love the idea of a floating screen at first but now that I have it, I totally love it.

Chris and Tony told me, glad to hear your search was successful, I love this thing so far, should have bought one years ago.

after a couple weeks I figured it was time to get some dirt miles on the truck, took a trip out to Lucerne and hit Ratttlesnake Canyon with some old and new friends. Plan was to hit Burns and go all the way to Big Bear but some of the rigs were less capable than others and we elected to stop at Pappy&Harriets for a late lunch and head home. First time my daughter had been offroading and she loved it.

Awesome truck! Haha the pack is getting larger ... Raptor takeover!

 

[Donttellmywiferacing]

Scored a pallet of Gen 1 Raptor Leafs at the Icon garage sale, flipped the rest, kept a pair and got them on.

 

[Donttellmywiferacing]

Headed out to Lucerne the day after install with no bumps and yolo’d it because the Icon kit didn’t provide the right hardware.

Truck did pretty well.

One of the few things I didn’t love about this truck was the ADD bumper that came on it. Not horrible looking, but mild steel and just not quite the look I was going for, so I had a new one made.

Pretty stoked with how it turned out.

you Raptor people are multiplying!

That new bumper looks way better. Personally, never cared for the giant light bars in or on the bumper.

thanks dude!

i think im going to try to get a radius behind the grill, less likely to walk off in Baja that way

 

[gascapkevin]

Who made the bumper? I've been leaning towards the AHQ bumper with a valence and push bar that looks very similar to that one
