Got my F Symbol cut out of stainless steel (Fuel Replica without the Fuel letters).

heres the Raptor Front end with the stock suspension. The control arms are wayyy too short and looks fugly. I also installed yellow fog lights in the corner of the bumper.... cost $45 and i think it really sets off those empty holes

When I got back from vegas I was happy to see my 9" raptor lift, Traction bars(also race red), and spankin new 37/13.50/20 toyo open countrys!!! the rear wheels stick out so far from the bed panel that I had to fab up some flares so when I went to the beach it didnt look dumb. also got the raptor wheel wells and still waiting on the SVT fender vents...(which I plan I fiberglassing them to say 5.0)

Im sure it'll turnout good...but for all that work and money, i would have just bought a raptor
I get asked ALOT if mines a raptor, and all i have is a new grill, level lift and offset mud tires/wheels. soon to have fender flares when i get around to installing them. so im going for that look too, but i just wouldnt go that far lol.
But, its your truck, and it does look sick. so keep us updated on the build. the more pics the better!!

I'm really gonna end up spending 53k with the truck included. I do all the paint work, my buddy orders the lift at cost an Installed it dirt cheap. I priced a brand new one at the stealership for around 54k for a 4 door. Mine will come out cheaper and will have the upgraded suspension, wheels, tires, and motor I want. Plus all the little stuff here an there. Plus its just my beach/ weekend toy.

I am curious on the suspension. Did you get wider wheels with lower offset to make it look right under fenders or did you use some raptor parts? if you used raptor parts, what ones?

I really want to do the mcneil conversion but im buying wheels next week. Id like to just buy the wheels with proper size so it looks good with a 2 1/2" level kit. Since you do paint, I guess i could bring it to you for that! my truck is white.
