I'm about to buy a Raptor and looking for info I found your channel. It really have oppened a bigger world to me and the way i see the vehicle itself. BIG thanks for this awesome content! Cheers from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Thanks Steve 👍🏻 I had a great time filming this one, I had no idea how to do it myself so I left it to the Pros! Awesome privilege to see the wrap being installed in person 😎
Mate I'm really happy with this wrap so far, It was riding me every time I went out for a drive in the bush because the raptor is wider than most 4x4s you seem to catch the branches none else does.
Would definitely get a set if they had a DIY kit for the raptor too! By the way, what bar are you gonna get this time around? You said you wanted to keep things light so the suspension will stays sweet, I was thinking along the same lines. So I was just adding things up, and it turns out a winch plate (Mongrel Offroad has got them on pre-order now, around 10kg) with a synthetic rope winch (35kg) plus a nudge bar (10kg) for spotties (7kg a pair) will get you to 62kg extra. Compare that to a bumper replacement bar like Offroad Animal Predator bar (around 60kg), and again add in winch and spotties (42kg), then take away the weight of the factory bumper (around 30kg according to "Jacob's Garage" on UA-cam) and the factory bash plate (~10kg), you end up with 64kg extra. Pretty much no difference at all and probably should get constant load springs on the front for both. I'm now questioning if getting a winch and bar is even worth it considering the $4000 I'll have to put down and since I don't do any "4 wheeling", when am I gonna be so hopelessly stuck that lower tyre pressure and a couple of Maxtrax can't get me out. What's your thoughts on this Damo? Cheers and stay safe!
You are on the right track thinking about weights. Keeping the Raptor lean on the scales is the ticket I believe. I’m personally going to add the hidden winch mount on this one just waiting for them to be ready. A winch is a nice to have but as you have said if your not doing too much tuff stuff off road then there isn’t much you can’t get out of with tyre pressures, trax and a shovel. I’ve had a winch on all my 4x4s and rarely had to use them in anger, when you do need it they are definitely a huge time saver.
Nice video mate, really interesting i got the blue raptor i want something like that, any idea how much is ti and im here at Rockhampton QLD. Done support mate
Thanks mate 👍🏻 I had only the sides done with the 10 Year film. I got a bit of a discount for making this video. original quote was not much change from $3K
No need for a full detail if you are taking it in to get fitted, they do all that for you as a part of the service. Quick hose over and dry beforehand would do the trick.
A all girl workshop! That seems sexist. You can't tell me that no man that went for the position was suitable or if not more qualified than some of the female applicants. Imagine trying to start a business that advertises only male workers not because they are more qualified but because they are men. Don't think that would go down very well in today's society. It's seems acceptable for women to do so.
The one I had put on has a 10 year warranty, heat is meant to be good for it as it has a self healing property and regenerates itself when heat is applied?

Thank you 😊
Brilliant as always, very interesting to see how the wrap is installed! Thanks :)

I see the wrap is made in Arizona, my home . Glad to see that Damo. Hope to see you someday mate , if this madness in the world ever ends !
Lay low mate. It will pass 👍🏻
Looks awesome Damo. Well to be fair, the Raptor always looks awesome! 😁
Thanks Jim 👍🏻 hopefully keep the big girl free of battle damage for a while 😎👌🏼
Awesome idea for a new truck or car.
Definitely delays the painful first scratches on your pride and joy.
That looks sic!! Cheers Steve
Fairly “Wrapped” 😂 with the way it turned out mate 👍🏻
I'd really be interested in doing my new Ford ranger very nice setup and great job with the video
Thanks mate
Ok this is interesting, looking forward to a year end review. Also, does it work like ceramic coating as far as repelling water?
Works for better than the ceramic as far as damage protection so far the water seems to bead and run off just the same
@@RoundTheFire How much does it cost for the raptor Damo? (installed)
Hows it still going months on and how much
Nice one Damo!
Thanks mate, great to see you here EVERY video.
Looks awesome Damo 😎I was only yesterday talking about using a Matt Black wrap
Mate I'm really happy with this wrap so far, It was riding me every time I went out for a drive in the bush because the raptor is wider than most 4x4s you seem to catch the branches none else does.
It shall henceforth be forever known as the CutMaster-3000 😂😂
Also, great choice of music. 👏👏👏
😂😂 the girls told me the actual name but in the moment I had a mind blank and had to improvise 😎👌🏼
@@RoundTheFire 😂😂 Nicely done!
I’m really interested in the kit. Will be ordering that for my Raptor for sure!
The Bush Wraps DIY kit looks really good

another great video mate
Cheers mate 👍🏻
Looks the goods do these girls do coloured wraps
They specialise in clear Paint Protection Film but I’m sure they probably can do colour Vinal?

@@RoundTheFire 3k sounds pretty reasonable with a 10 year warranty...better than stressing out about your paint on overgrown tracks
@@Mr500RWHP Its certainly not too bad. Its worth $1M every time I hear branches and sticks scraping down the side of the truck.
What are you reckon on the black colour Raptor ?
If I had a black raptor this would be the FIRST thing I would do for sure!! Easier to clean and ZERO scratches 😳
Black looks awesome but the scratches show up and you can't buff them out completely
Seriously considering getting it done to mine too. Did you get a full detail beforehand?
No need for a full detail if you are taking it in to get fitted, they do all that for you as a part of the service. Quick hose over and dry beforehand would do the trick.
I’m 50/50 if I would do this exact wrap again...works good for light scratches but useless for serious stuff
Nice one Damo. Let's see how well it goes once you get out there 🇳🇿👍😎
Cheers Phil 👍🏻 can’t wait to give it a good nudge out in the wild.
👍👀👍
wow female staffs on the work!
How much is this?
About $3000

What’s the longevity on it Damo? How long do they reckon it’ll last without damage, sun on it etc....

Wow , great video been looking for something like this for ages whats the rough pricing estimate mate
the DIY kits are WELL under a grand
Head over to 'AussiePPFChicks' youtube channel for a better explanation
@@RoundTheFire and installed on Raptor ?
Thanks mate , found them bloody great price
@@RoundTheFire $5,999 for a full protection ? this has to be bloody good for the price.Were you quoted around that for the Raptor ? Thanks
