I painted the frame braces, traction bars, fiberglass, hood n tailgate with my own materials so technically that's a tax write off.

I'm missing some stuff on the list but those are the main things.. I could have paid off my truck already if i didn't do anything Lol.
Lol I have been there...I managed to drop 18K into my srt8 Jeep. I did all the work myself so that's in parts alone lol.

Nice XR on page 5, I'm a Taco guy myself driving an F150

A couple of questions, will you be using the raptor suspension on the drop bracket lift? Any reason behind that? I would think the low hanging DB would hinder high speed off road performance. Also did you order OEM raptor front fenders or are they aftermarket? Nice work on the truck so far, I like to do all my own work as well.

Do you still have that stock grill kicking around? I think I like the old one better than my 13' FX4 stock grill
