Hi guys, i know this tread i´ts old, i´m converting my 2005 STX 2wd Scab 5.5´bed to a raptor, for that reason i´m interested in a kind of tread like this one. i ordered to McNeill the OEM style conversion kit, also a OEM grille from a member o RF for 300 bucks and head and tail lights fromo ebay. i will start the conversion soon... Also i want to show you a pair of local F1s converted to a Raptor in my opinnion there are a really good builds, hope you like it..

Sorry for the size of the pictures..

This is a Reg Cab F150 with 6.5´bed.


A local prerruner it´s a 2003 FX4 F150 with raptor front end and bedsides awsome...

Good luck with the fitment and customer service. There was a member on the other f150 site within the last year to deal with McNeil and his experience was less than pleasant. Hopefully their kits have improved.

I'm really interested in this. I am hoping to sell my current F150 and pick up a cheap 4x4 as a sort of project including the raptor conversion.

Did you have to find an OEM Raptor front bumper and 2009+ tailgate on your own?

So does it all bolt right up? Or is there some fabrication that needs to take place?

I'm in the process of converting my 2006 FX4 to a Raptor.

My direct experience with mcneil was less than great. I actually saw the kit in person completed by them and the quality wasn't good. I ended up buying my bedsides from them, and the front fenders from an OEM mold so I can still put my fender vents in. After I purchased the kit I found some OEM front fenders on the raptor forums for 300, so I purchased them. Anyhow here's all the parts I've purchased:

Front Headlights and Tails - OEM
2013 Tailgate - OEM
2011 Hood - OEM
2011 Hood Vents - OEM
2012 Running Boards - OEM
2012 Front Bumper - OEM
2012 OEM Grill
Recon LED fender Vents
McNeil 6.5 Raptor Bedsides
McNeil Front Fenders / Valance with factory vent holes (FOR SALE)
Front Fenders - OEM

Finally full front suspension from offroadwarehouse

04-08 Ford F150 4WD Fox Remote Reservoir Coilover Kit w/ Upper Control Arms & Rear Shocks

Here's a couple teaser pictures, the truck goes in the shop next week to get started.
