sounds like a cop-out, but it depends.


MT can be very expensive / LT is very expensive


What are your goals and honestly, how much $ are you willing to throw away?


The cheapest option for MT is to wait a year or so, start trolling the Raptor forums and pick up Raptor take-off parts (UCA/LCA, coilovers, bypass', springs, etc...). You will also need stuff like extended brake lines, fenders/bedsides/liners, etc...


If you do all the labor & paint, you are probably looking at ~5k going the take-off MT route.


If you go aftermarket MT, you are looking at around 7-10k depending on whose parts you use - and you do all the labor / paint.


If you go LT, you are looking at 15-20k with you doing all the labor / paint depending on who's parts you use.


It only gets worse from there.
