OKEYDOKEY, so the top right is the configuration that will fit the raptor at stock height. not as much dish, but still looks pretty good.
I will be doing the mid perch mod, so the front end will be about 1.5" higher.

What do you guys think? is it worth 1200 bucks?


Bottom left! one of my friends got them for his raptor, and they look awesome, then another friend saw them and ordered a set for his hummer lol

Not sure if you have looked at method wheels but they are pretty nice and go with the pre runner theme..

What are you going to wrap them in? Can never go wrong with the Toyo M/T

That is a sweet looking wheel. To me it seems it would go best on a super duty.
Any chance you could get me a pic of your buddy's raptor?

still deciding on tires. I'll check out those toyos. Thanks man.

I went with the Beast.
I stared at the chops for a while -- and think that will look good on this thing. I'll post up when they're mounted.

Looking good!

You went with the Toyo RTs nice choice they look badass! Should get a lot of life out of those tires aslong as you roate them on the regular ..

So whats next on the list? LED Light bars? Smaller antenna(thing looks long as hell)?

A guy on the local Raptor forum had some MT's and he let me drive the truck. they buzzed pretty loud.
These just have a mild whirr to them and are pretty quite. good on and offroad specs. I like them. they look mean :)



Why it's funny you should ask, I do have a mod list i'd like to do as funds become available. :grin:

1-Been looking at light bars for the lower center. Rigid has a bunch of options that look nice. kind of expesive though. Was thinking of getting one of these for that spot and making my own mounting brackets. all other bars i've seen are 120W.
https://www.lifetimeledlights.com/l...d_light_bar_phantom_sun_20_252w_led_light_bar

2- The skid plate is dinged up from previous owner. FRRP makese one that is thicker material, same color, direct bolt on.

3- CAI: http://www.stage3motorsports.com/75...or-6-2L-SB-Cold-Air-Intake-Kit-Cleanable.html

4- I had a Kicker stealth box and door speakers in my other F150 and it honestly sounded better than this 700W (sarcastic) Sony system in here.
I'd like to replace the doors with kickers and the sub with this: http://www.kicker.com/PF150C13

5- These lights for the front bumper. http://www.fordraptorlights.com/

6- 40" light bar behind grill: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AT30U1M...UTF8&colid=PSKTN9RIP1IL&coliid=I3I3C2C93TVD42

7- change mirror reflectors to black: http://www.amazon.com/Recon-264240B...432870174&sr=8-5&keywords=raptor+mirror+lense


You're totally right about the antenna! It might pickup signals from space :)

Pretty good build list :)

I got like 5 friends with raptors and they are all lame and dont do anything other than wheels/tries i try and push ideas with them show the pictures from when i was at sema last year..

Have you thought about windshield led light bar? Or are you trying to keep it more stealthy?

The truck is pretty well endowed. You better keep bugging them :)

I also plan on painting the inside of the box and rear well black, and will do the mid perch mount on the front. :)

I really like the stock front bumper, so unless I spend a lot more time scrubbing brush and trees I don't see myself changing that part.

Serviced it over the weekend, royal purple and filters. Cant seem to find the cabin filter anywhere?

When I said paint the inside of the bed, I mean the back side of the bed, visible inside the wheel well. Should be black IMO.

the inner, out, under, in there side... hope that clears it up.

Few updates SNivers!


I changed my tires.
Here's the report on the Toyo's:
Gnarley looking - yes
Good offroad traction - yes
Super loud - yes
Stiff riding and bump jarring - yes
Shit traction on wet asphalt - yes

SO, I took them back. Discount Tire swapped them no questions asked. They Rock!

Did some research, Nitto Terra Graphlers have great ratings, quiet, on and offroad ect... so I got the new G2's.
Much quieter, look great, ride nice, smoother and softer over bumps and such. GREAT TIRE.

Here's some pix.
