Damn I want a Raptor.
Thanks! I agree. Nice and level but without a leveling kit. Rides better IMO too.
Yes! In my search for a truck i always came back to the Raptor. Just a great looking truck all around. I get more looks and comments around town on the Raptor than the Shelby if you can believe it.
Yeah i love the silver. Really makes the darker lines and accents stand out. I almost pulled the trigger on a black one but glad i didn't. The black car is enough of a PITA. And yes, the SVT beadlocks would look great on mine. That's my next move is a new wheel/tire setup. Yours looks good too! :beer:
Update! New wheels and tires! Also threw in an intake and tune. ICON power steering reservoir and cooler on the way as well.
The wheels are 17x8.5 Method NV and the tires are 37x12.5x17 BFG KO2s. Minor trimming of the fender, flares and liners required. Tune is through 5 Star via an SCTX4 and the intake is an enclosed S&B unit. Very quality piece.

Nice Method wheels. I have black Method Mesh on mine :beer:
Silver + those rims = Perfect
Congrats man! They are amazing trucks. I still miss mine!
Thanks! Yeah I really have yet to see a Method design that i don't like on these trucks.
Thank you. I think so too.
They sure are amazing. Fun around town and highways and off road.
Where did you find those OEM HIDs?
Need to swap out my Halogens sooner than later.

I swapped my halogens for LED. I was not spending $1k plus for headlights. I paid ~$200ish for a high quality LED system that works great. They have been in for nearly 2 years now.
Raptor Retrofit. They're OEM plug and play. I think the price has gone up recently. I got em awhile back for 1200. They're amazing. Look a lot cleaner than halogen housing and they are blindingly bright.

I need to do that soon. My 12 still has the old lamps
Upgrading to HIDs is just too expensive and not worth it. I am extremely happy going with LED headlights... vastly better light output.
I prefer the overall look of the whole assembly too. Not just light output. My HIDs are much brighter than the halogens and the clean black housing make for a much better overall look rather than just replacing the bulb and still being stuck with the ugly halogen housing. But that's my opinion and you have yours. Totally worth 1200 bucks.
I agree and thank you for the website.
The look is the selling point to me as well.
Looks like they bumped it to 1.8k now. Maybe it's a later mod lol
Call them directly and see if they still offer a 1200 dollar set. I feel like they've added things to the 1800 that may not be necessary.
