I’m IN with the raptor. If there’s extra space o can bring my sons Ranger too, we can start a build thread but I wouldn’t want to put it in front of another forum member

Just stay away from well known guys who do cerakote and drive raptors.

It’s pretty sad that the guy has a whole business of just doing cerakote and my dumbass did a better job in my backyard with a free oven and zero experience. His IG is full of full blown custom jobs that look amazing but he is constantly deleting comments from people asking where their orders...

Here’s a few pics of the rear shocks put together with that sick cerakote job 🫠

Now onto the rear bypass shocks. When I picked up the shocks they were holding nitrogen so I formed I’d tackle the coilovers first and sometime in the future year into the rears. I saw an “influencer” who posted they were looking for some beadlock method wheels and I had a set I was...

Next on the updates is NEW used shocks. In typical adhd fashion I was searching for any set of shocks for a 1st gen raptor within 1k miles and found a set of rusted out icons with bad shafts in Salt Lake City Utah. It’s only 700 miles away so I offered $500 and the dude said sure thing 🙄...

Next up was some budget Amazon design amber lights on the bumper, GG a pillar lights (green and amber lenses) and a free 50” light bar hiding under the bumper. Also added a 3rd brake chase light.

Next was just some general maintenance and exhaust upgrade. I found a stainless works new 2nd hand for $600 which was about half off retail so that was a no brainer. Took the truck out to the river and used a buddies lift to change trans mount, replace brakes, service trans/t case and...

Next on the list was deaver springs and RPG bump stop kit. I took the truck out 2-3 times and it was fun but pretty tough to handle since the rearend would just dance all over the place. I was on the hunt for some used deavers and ended up finding a brand new set for sale in bend Oregon...

Next up rebuilt oem shocks with geiser springs and some second hand icon upper control arms. Truck got an attitude adjustment and really has the prelander look now.

We talked on IG, am I added to the list or is it capped at 20 vehicles?

Update since I haven’t posted anything on here in almost two years. I have pieced this truck together with a ton of second hand parts and new parts I got ridiculous deals on. I’ve put a ton of work into it so I’ll break it up into a couple of posts to keep the flow going. First on the...

Kings still available?

8” housing 9 led per pod Have five total, were used for about 2 years and nothing wrong with them, just upgraded to some KC’s Located in southern ca and I can ship them $200 for all five

Picked the light bar up a few months ago but after mounting one set on my raptor I’ve decided it’s way too much to put onto the project I planned on. Lights are in great shape with covers. 15,000 lumens total $1,200 obo Located in southern ca, can ship them if needed
