This thread rocks - great truck Carabidae! I think I would have gotten the 133" myself if it was available in 2013 seeing is that I rarely fill my 6 1/2' bed and never had complaints on back room space in the scab. Maybe they stopped selling them to get more people into the raptor, who knows. At over 6000 lbs, the raptor is an overpriced pig with no payload in my opinion.

thank you sir!!
the short wheelbase is an advantage for trails and dunes so the truck dont get stuck up in the middle.


Also it has been a while since i last updated this thread. not much to say..
I still am waiting for the fenders.
i went for some off roading and tried taking off the fuse 36, and its one hell of a difference without the TC kicking in.

Carbidae, do you lie the 5100 shocks now that they are broken in? (edit due to lack of reading) You guys are having way too much fun there in Kuwait! Curious to what the GVWR of your truck is too.
