Default I'm back!! Fraptor 2.0 :p

Hey guys and gals!

I was on here quite a while ago, some of you may remember be creating the "Raptor" tear decals and selling on here after I got my 97' 150 4x4 and wrapped all flat black with dark charcoal metallic graphics.





And after a divorce I had to sell, went without a truck for a few years but now finally got into another! May need a little help everyone, this is one hell
Of a truck :p just picked up 35x75x16 and some new rims. I cranked torsion down because this thing is way too high but no intentions of taking lift off.

I'll be wrapping Matte Black again and applying the same graphics I deigned years ago to this one.

Welcome back!

If your planning on doing the whole wrap thing anyway...I may be interested in it as well. I've been wanting my truck black anyway to go with my eventual build theme. Shoot me a price! 2000 Xtend XLT longbed.

Thanks!

btw, nice trucks!

Welcome back! Looks like a monster truck. haha Crazy thing is I just discovered those bumper light pole things today. Not really sure what you would use them for unless you were in the dunes at night or something though.

Big rigs have them, helps let them know where the edge of their truck is in relation to other objects since they sit up higher and the distance is harder to gauge. But really he needs new tires... those back ones look like racing slicks lol

Haha I know, slicks galore. I picked up a very very decent set of tires off Wallapop app for $150 35x75x16's and just got AR Bajas. Should look a lot better and the previous owner had he torsion cranked to the max ontop of the already high lift. Made a world of difference and should have new shoes on end of week!

Thanks!!


So tonight got American Racing AR172 Bajas mounted on the tires. It's freezing out but I wanted to get this thing on the road before the snow this weekend here in NJ.

I lowered torsion bars all the way ( they were maxed out SMH.... Still would fit in garage lol.i was ripping my hair out about what offset to get and 0mm seems like a winner to me! Perfect amount of tire showing, removed previous owners 2" spacers and voila. But all said and done it looks fantastic and drives great! Just need alignment and new cv axle driver side.
