The normal Raptor grille won't fit because of the cutout in the bonnet, so I had to order mine from this place: http://boost-bars.com/product/raptoid-upper-grille/ Looking forward to seeing the pics once you get yours back!

Risso Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Stan that pickup is awesome mate, it's what I imagine a 4WD Knight Rider would look like! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always amusing turning up to client meetings in the truck. Serious business men become 5 years old for a brief spell, as they ask if they can sit in it and start it up! Incidentally, @Dom_Wren how are you finding the Eco Boost engine in yours? Supposed to be a heck of a unit that leaves the V8 for dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you braked, the indicators all lit up but the brake lights didnt. i didnt know why I was constantly getting road raged on (in Glasgow) for the first month or so til someone pointed it out that was one of the things he said, at one time even changing a light bulb could cause a short in the system ....many times you see a pre 08 Renault with flashing brake lights instead of indicators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposed to be a heck of a unit that leaves the V8 for dead. I like it mate. I've owned 2 previous f150s with the old workhorse 5.4L V8. But this is rapid when foot is down. I spun the wheels pulling out of the dealership when I first got it Fuel economy ain't great 17mpg city with a full but not heavy bed. I do miss the burble of a v8. I had twin flow masters in my old one and it would wake the dead at idle. I kinda liked it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom_Wren Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Wow, got my truck back tonight, even though it doesnt look anything like the truck i let go. Holy smokes i absolutely LOVE it, it looks so aggressive and everything fits just right, the 2" level kit that raised the front looks awesome, i will post pics when its light tomorrow, but it exceeded all my expectations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 So, would anybody have any opinion on a 12 month old Suzuki Vitara? 2WD version, would be used for typical family bus stuff. 2 trips to school every day for a bunch of teenagers carrying guitars n stuff, supermarket shopping, trips to Ikea, rarely see a motorway, needs to be able to carry a shit load of stuff every once in a blue moon. I know a pimped up G Wagen with led's underneath would be better, but it's not me that's going to be driving it 97.5% of the time. Only an idea, there's an ex demo one that looks too good (cheap) to be true, i.e., basically half price after 10 months as a demo. Which could mean it's too good to be true....right?

But you're dealing with a situation here where the specification I've been given to work with is: 1 - not a boring colour 2 - quite high up so it's easy for nan to get in and out 3 - a reversing camera 4 - quite big, but not too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea about the interior and reliability and what not but it actually looks ok when I goggled it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had a look at one but decided that Tesla have been making cars for about 3 weeks id rather wait until the Germans who have been making cars for a 100 years get properly in on the act Edited March 10, 2016 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
