Man, I love seeing pics of this thing in its various stages both here and Facebook. Each resting spot has looking simply amazing, and I'm always blown away seeing the new ideas come together. You're not too far away, I'd LOVE to see it in person sometime! Best of luck, and keep the fresh ideas rolling!

So what is it that keeps you from using the 2018 bumper? Just want something custom and different?

I will have some new big things to share soon...plan to share them with you 1st! Thank you for your dedication and contribution on sooooo many levels. When I see you post new pics/updates, im like "plateau? WHAT plateau!?" ....and back to the drafting board I go! Thanks friend!
Thank you for sharing the same passion and going out of your way to help ! Your build is Top Shelf and easy to see Thad it's well planned and executed. Looking forward to hearing what's in the works !!! Maybe we can do a conference call with Dave I have a feeling 2018 is going to be a great year

For the record.... What I'm about to say isn't meant to sound disrespectful to those who have already done a complete conversion or to those who are planning to, etc...

I'm not a fan of the 18 bumper for few different reasons and they are all personal preference . Using the 18 bumper would be much easier but sometimes it's the small things that catch my attention and will drive me crazy. I'm not a fan of not only the size of the fog light, the shape of the 18 seems too squared off . I also think the bottom edge can be improved , and I like the height of the gen 1 Raptor bumper and the shape much better. That's a detail most won't notice ( but I'm In the process of starting my own business and working with a few well known companies in the performance and racing industry and have a new product that I'm excited to announce and introduce to our F150 community ) I want to use this truck to represent my particular products and innovations with hopes you'll reach out to me if you like what you see .

Installing a 18 bumper in my eyes would be update but not a challenge.





The bottom of the bumper and outside edge will be Gen 1 Raptor ... The angle on the outside corner of the 15 fog light will flow much better

Thanks for the kind words my friend ! Sharing ideas and making friends is the best part of a build. I'm heading down 1-70 Sunday and Tuesday. I'll PM you my phone # and would be happy to introduce myself in person

That sounds great man! I'm down on 50 right by the base, could definitely meet you somewhere for an introduction. Wish I had the means to do even a 1/4 of what you've already done, but too little budget for now. So stock 18" PVDs and a drop it is for now haha! Can't wait to see the next stage!

Man... IMO your truck is one of the nicest I've ever seen. I've been jealous for a long time. It's almost a shame you're redoing the front end (it's so perfect as is). Almost like you needed to buy another truck for this mod, lol!! I'm sure it's gonna be even more badass when you're finished though. Well done, and I'll be following the thread (drooling of course)!
