That's my favorite color.

 

Thanks for the complements guys....

It was hard to find, i located one about about 150 miles away (in houston), I called them to make sure they still had it, I drove all the way there and it had the "RAD" package installed. the what planet ford calls there upgraded trucks. hey installed a 6 " lift, and all sorts of other stuff that they wanted to charge $13,000 for...

 

Definitely keep us posted on how the new 4x4 switch install goes. I will be doing the same if you have any luck (then again, I'll probably do it no matter the outcome :P). Did you decide to get the uplifter switch panel? Do you know if it will fit into the FX4's center console?

 

I have not made my mind up yet on the switch panel due to the fact i am unsure what all i will be adding that i will need switches for. I know i will be getting a bull bar or light bar but i have always used a dimmer switch for an older ford and mounted it in the floor for my fog lights.

I think it will fit but my dealer told me that if it did not fit i could bring it back as long as i had not hooked any wires up. I would be interested to see if the factory pig tales are available as well.

 

Props on the truck. Post pics with the new tires and the lift.

 

I will do Perez..

I would like to add these wheels but i dont want them sticking out. they dont make a 20 by 9 and the 20 by 10 has a -24mm offset....

 

would you take a few pictures on how to actually access the 4wd switch when you get to it? ive tried to figure out how to break the dash apart but its quite daunting

 

sure not a problem. there is a thread on here somewhere about installing the trailer brake controller, and he shows how to get that panel off. But Thursday or Friday i will post some pics up.

 

How much did the dealer want for the raptor switches?

oh, and forgot to mention last time, Nice Truck! (the blue flame is an awesome color) Congrats on the purchase, and, of course, welcome to the site!

 

He said list wsa like $330, and he was unsure if that came with the two buttons to the side of the upfitter switches. the hill descend and the "off road mode"
here is a pic

 

ha ha its you....... lol.... Thanks... you saved me from being just another red f-150..

I drove a red fx4 home for the evening a few weeks back,and was 100% sure i was going to buy i the next morning.... while looking around on this site to get ideas of what i could do to it i came across this thread. Here and i asked what color is that.... well i guess you could say i had a reason for asking...

 

there a great looking truck my first choice was the new tuxedo black but couldnt get it my last truck was black and i thought back to all those long days cleaning hope this color wont be as bad and it stays a little cooler than the black as well

 

WARNING!!!!!
The switch i purchased was part number AL3Z-14B166-AB that is not the 4x4 selector switch, that is the "off road mode" button for the raptor, they gave me a refund. After getting my money back we looked in their computer and the best thing we can figure out is the part number for the 4x4 switch may be AL32-14B166-CA can anyone confirm this?
Thanks
MIke

 

Well I ordered my lift and tires today. I went with the autospring 2.5" front spacers and the autospring 3" rear blocks. I may end up selling the front spacers to my brother and going with the " front spacers but I will install it and see how she looks.

For tires i went with the Cooper Zeon 275/60/20, i Wanted to go with a 33*12.5 but i am keeping my stock wheels for now so i decided to go with the 33*11"...

Cant wait for the ups truck.

 

boy was i wrong... this dash is a P.I.T.A.
I started playing with it last night and managed to get a few parts off but i will still no where close to getting to the wires for the switch, i hope i get time try it out Sunday evening.
