Default 2011 to 2017 Full Raptor Swap - another crazy build
So I'm doing another raptor build, but this one will be a full suspension and body swap. The swap includes full ford raptor suspension an FiberwerX 2017 fiberglass kit. Truck is a 2011 ford raptor ecoboost 4x4

It's best to cut the corner by the cab and bend the two corners at the end of the bed (upper n lower)

Very curious to see the progress on this. I've always wondered, how are the fiberglass bedsides secured to the inner bed walls? screws?
