Default New PTM rims and monster hook on the Reptar!!

So i decided to add more color to the Reptar! First i added the monster hook in the back. Rated at 10000lbs, buy will probably never use it lol. Theae usually look really bad on trucks but with my rear runner bumper sticking out, the hook fits flush and looks pretty good compared to the size of the trick.
Second i threw some green decals on the strut mount and rear fender wells.
Third i now have lime green Fuel Hpstage 22"s.... And its not painted on! My buddy has a decal shop an get theae vinyls cut to fit on the face of the rim. Took a while to install but at least my rims wont be damaged or lose value

Does reptar still hit bumps like a raptor is supposed to or is it lifted just to be lifted?

It's not a Raptor. He custom builds trucks from lower end models. Pretty impressive what he comes up with.

It hits all the bumps every raptor is suppose to hit. Speed bumps, pot holes, curbs. Its not a dirt jumper like some raptors use their trucks for... Its lifted high, painted bright, over accessorized to promote my business

It be cool to see him try and make a "raptor" truck with raptor suspension... It does look like he does a thorough job.

I would be down to to it but i wouldnt start with raptor suspension. I can get the full raptor suspensin for under 4k. Or i could start with an actuall bad *** long travel kit for around 9k. Not knocking the raptor but its not the best suspension gor jumps

That would be awesome. But honestly thats one of my weak points in customizing. I dont do bags, long travel or low rider. Too much money involved. I respect them all but not gonna go all out an try one anytime soon.
