Ebay Raptor Grille. Think it looks amazing and install was pretty easy. Disregard my reflection in the light!

Hello. I checked out ebay. Do you think all of the China raptor grills are the same? That grill looks great!

Heritage'd my grill a couple weeks ago. Plastidipped my pinch welds today. Should have hit it with a razor before pulling the tape to have better edges, lesson learned, 1st time using the stuff. Looks a lot better (despite it getting dark in the pic, you don't see a shiny pinch weld anymore). Time will tell if it holds up.

Added Sports Mode to Jessabelle and got rid of the double honk. Why oh why have I not added sports mode until today !!!! Wow! She truly picks her skirt up and goes now. With the other mods I have, plus the tune, Sport mode is a all-new mode. I thought Normal was pretty good. Lol I was wrong! This is coming from someone with a modded GT500!

I've owned the ARB and built my own mount for inside my FJ. Used it for years with no problem and can't say anything bad about it. I didn't have the capability to air up and down all four tires at the time when I owned the ARB. The Thor's system is a great setup. Thor’s dual compressor, mounting bracket, and hose system to inflate and deflate all four tires at the same time costs less than the ARB compressor alone. Its secure and airing up and down is fast.
Any issues with the heat of the unit next to your nice blue paint? Also how easy is it to remove with the quick disconnect wiring? I’d plan to just hook it back up for dune trips and then leave it in my garage when I’m home. Lastly any video help for the wire routing?

Did You have any issues mounting them? I had to rearrange all the shims on mine and they still don't fir correctly. LF has 2 shims, LR has 4 but needs 2 more, RF has 4 but needs 2 more, RR has 5 on top/7 on bottom and needs 2 more for both

My awesome wife and kiddo picked me up some tube doors for Father’s Day. Got them mounted up today and went for a little cruise around.

I ordered my tube doors with my Badlands 4D. They look great but mounting them was a pain. The LF to used 2 shims and fits fine, The LR has 4 but needs 2 more. The RF has 4 shims but also needs 2 more. The RR has 5 on top and 7 on bottom and needs 2 more of each. My dealer is working with me but it is taking a while to get anywhere about it. Plus the lower door hinge block are welded on at an angle making me think they will shorten the life of the hinge. When I put the tube doors on, I have to mostly close them in order for it to fully drop down on the hinge so I can put the bolts in. Each washer is the thickness of 2 shims. Even with the extra shims, 3 of the 4 doors hit the end of the striker loop that is damaging the plastic part of the door latch's which is why they still need more. I have only had the doors on twice. Once when I installed them and went for a drive, the other was to show the dealer the issue.

That sucks, my rear passenger I had to add one shim top and bottom could maybe use one more as I damaged the plastic on it on initial install similar to yours. It is still a little tight opening and closing that door on the latch.

The other 3 went on and mounted up without a hitch. Hopefully yours get addressed and squared away so you can enjoy them.

Edited to add that I don’t recall how many shims were in each door from the factory I’ll have to look at that later. However the drivers front and rear and passenger front went on with no issues.
