The stock antenna serves one not-so-obvious function. The Raptor sits so tall, the antenna is taller than the body so it's a useful clearance warning so you don't break off the sharkfin.
I didnt consider this. The other thing I realized is it still has the shark fin and the antenna. does the stick antenna even function or is it just visual for the baja affect
Raptors aren't lifted. If you park one next to a platinum 4x4 F150 or a similar spec f150, they're the same height. They just appear taller due to the ground clearance.
A few comments. A cold air intake does not void the warranty of a Ford pickup. The "yucky" yellow light instead of LED is required by law. LED's have not been approved as the plate light source in all states. Steel bumpers are indeed more resistant to impact but the molded bumper you have will resist more than you're willing to throw at it and you don't want the added 200'bs of weight.
Good stuff. Have you considered the Diamondback HD or Switchback bedcovers? I'd welcome your thoughts. But nice job on this truck. Thanks for the ideas.
The long antenna has saved my truck a few times. Truck did take on hit from a branch though. Would have been much more damage if I had a small antenna.
What you're saying about air intakes is false, it improves throttle response and overall sound of the vehicle. you'll get more low end performance, especially with a tune. Air intake systems are supposed to be one of the last things you do after adding a supercharger or turbo charger.
I own a 2019 Ford raptor supercrew White. Please do more videos on it!! I’m gonna buy some of your add ons. How is the bed cover working? Is it keeping all of the water out? How easy is it to take off for full bed access?
Awesome video! I like the lighting ideas. And secret compartment.! I will be getting a tonneau cover like that...maybe a topper... not sure yet.. The air intake system is bs even tuned doesnt do jack.. but please please use the Pro Dry S air filter element or and equivalent DRY type... dont use oil types like K&N. Especially with your turbos and sensors....dont take the chance with the oil... if done properly they are Pretty safe..but it still has a chance of messing up sensors. So... and 2018 and up are dual injection but i also use a dual oil separator baffled and filtered catch can. Thanks for the cool videos , I'm subscribing!
Nice truck with great mods! Curious about the part of video where the camera is focused on the front suspension while driving it. If you watch closely you can see your upper control arm bushings are allowing your control are to move from front to back as if they were loose. Is this something that is common with Raptors?
Brandon Mize invalid, performance springs in the front prevents the nose from diving down to far and scratching when taking a jump, then Baja design lights are well respected in the off road industry. They aren’t your cheap amazon light bars. They are used by professional Baja racers and are perfect for daily use especially here in the out of town places here in Colorado back dirt roads, not public roads.
If it was ”looks ” people probably would’ve just add a standard level kit, Amazon light bars, and rims instead of beadlocks ready wheels with loud point less mud tires and call it a day. This man truck severs purposes he’s a real enthusiast.
Like others have posted, that long antenna is a great feeler gauge for low ceiling/objects. Also, regarding the K&N air filter, I would sure dump that as soon as possible and stick with the factory/Wix/Purolator filtration. I little research will quickly reveal why you DON'T want a K&N.
Ok hold up... eye-bawk, not “I bautch” Second, I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope you didn’t purchase that $400 catch can. Most I would pay for a catch can is $100, that’s a rip off.
Oh Is that so? Looks like Somebody someone isn’t doing research, so do yourself a favor and tell that to the engineers at Ford and get schooled by real engineers.

Antennas do, however, help in parking garages, but I never had an issue.
Theres a reason major manufacturers still
use the old school antennas. It’s a height indicator when entering a parking garage.....
“Silver springs look aggressive”
Ight, imma head out
Nice raptor still
LMFAO
I believe it’s pronounced Eye-Bock my man...
The raptor took 3rd in 2008 at be baja 1000. Didn’t mod anything just rolled off the factory line. There’s very little to improve on the raptor.
Yeah, ok... I love my 17 Raptor, but I would love to chat with ford. They can sure enough improve the current truck.
There is a LOT to improve on the Raptor. Research is your friend.
Theres a reason for the Antenna because people lift pickups ussually so its so you can make sure you dont hit the truck

Yeah I thought those are mandatory due to the width of the body
Do the tune with the intake it’s worth it and if you get it done at the dealership, it’s under warranty
Am so in love with these ford vehicles have to get my hands on one by GOD'S GRACE 🙏🙏🙏❤
Does anyone offroad at night? And all this time I thought fog lights were to help you see when driving in the fog!
He make the raptor look big
Looks real nice. I still prefer my SuperCab Raptor however, smaller wheelbase.
Love the one you’re with lol
I have a supercab and wouldn't replace it
Do you have a company link for this "Raptor" side decal?
Good stuff. Have you considered the Diamondback HD or Switchback bedcovers? I'd welcome your thoughts. But nice job on this truck. Thanks for the ideas.
Think there's a finishing nail in your tire at 2:22. (Hopefully just a rock, which BFGs of course love...but looks like a nail.)
Keep those Raptor updates coming!
Your wheels are my favorite Raptor wheels... look even better than the Methods OMHO... I'd keep em!
How much did you pay for your raptor decal ?
The long antenna has saved my truck a few times. Truck did take on hit from a branch though. Would have been much more damage if I had a small antenna.
Where did u get the custom RAPTOR bedside decals ?

the intake in limited on the raptor. Im going to buy a cold air roush intake for my truck

Joe Momma look up the Bak Industries BAKflip MX4 part#448329. You’ll love it! I have it on my 2018 Raptor
I have a retrac. You have to seal some of the leak with 20 dollars weather seals at homedepot tho. After that, it looks slick
"Pacifically designed"
Thanks for sharing and Keep up the great work Canadian 😎👍👍🇨🇦

That truck is sick!!!!!!!!
Nice video!! Did you look into adding front hitch in the steel bumper..
Nice ride!
“Eye-Bawk” not eyebotch
I think he’s hearing impaired and that’s why he’s mispronouncing Eibach...
Good video, i like your picks for the mods. Well thought out.
Badass raptor! My dream is to own one exactly like that one.
Should be titled "best mods to look cool on Friday night at the McDonald's parking lot."
next you could install a hidden winch. with remote.
Awesome car dude
Not making that light bar go back and forth like KITT is fail.
Just kidding awesome truck dude!!
Its pronounced “I Bach” like the composer. Nice looking truck.

Can you do more truck videos?
Very nice.
Do you have a detail clip for lifting that 2”?
Appreciate the efforts
How tall are you?
All your mods are for looks. "Looks aggressive". And its Eye-back... my 19 raptard is great stock but my pre runner eff one fiddy is nuts

Those are OEM beadlocks...
If you have the $$$, the Shelby Raptor is the way to go...

The seat release is a cheap China knock-off from the BuiltRight Industries one.

That front grill. I would rather it be blank.
Because people like old school touches
It looks larger behind you like it ever did .
Nice truck dude....want one bad.....
Nice Car
are you from turlock,CA US
I’m debating to buy a 2019 or wait for a Gen 3?
Jason Rios
When do u think that will be out ?
Sean L most likely 2021 or 2022
I'm at the same place.......... buy now or wait for the latest greatest 🤔
Always something coming out. If you like it now buy it now.
Sub’d🤘🏼
this guy has not even seen the VelociRaptor V8 Ford Raptor 5,0 liter V8 TT with 758hp
Your truck looks amazing, also I love the fact that you are the type of guy to buy loads of accessories for all of your gear
Yeah, now just equip it and use it for what is was designed to do: GO OFF ROAD.
Love your raptor man. Wish I could afford one
I Ioane You are bro , chase yo dreams . You will accomplish it . god bless you !
Yeah me too...been trying to save up for one but man fuck these bills lol. This is the exact color I want mine in too😥
My dream car...maybe one day I will have one
You can, trust me.
Eye Botch. LOL. You botched the pronunciation.
I love the Raptor and the host is hotAF
Istimiwir wong
Should have kept the V8
Dave Elzinga stop stressing out start learning
Learning about what
On why you’re a boomer and v8 are less efficient 💀
Mondern V8 are very efficient
There is a lot of extra garbage to go wrong with the Ecoboost and it gets the same mileage as the V8
Oh Is that so? Looks like Somebody someone isn’t doing research, so do yourself a favor and tell that to the engineers at Ford and get schooled by real engineers.
HOT
Air in tank? lolololololololo
