Default Raptor Build Project

Alright guys, i just purchased a raptor and i am going to start in my build on it shortly but i am still trying to think about what direction i want to go with this build. I was curious to find out what you guys with these trucks think of the stock off road tires? What mods have you made to your raptor. Let me know your idea's? I am going to sink about twenty grand in upgrades into but have not finalized the build list. If you have pictures i would love to see photos.

Best wishes.

Neil

Dang I want $40k to spend on a truck and then another $20k to blow on it! Realistically I think you are going to have a hard time finding $20k worth of stuff to buy for it barring any expensive custom paint or such.

I wish I was in your boat!! If I had the raptor I would be stoked as is!!

You should buy some new side steps and then sell me yours!!! lol

How about a bed cover to start.

I have the BFG's At's on my Jeep and they work great for both road and off road compromise, only deep thick mud really stops them.

What do you wanna do to your Raptor?? The only way to really spend 20g's on the raptor is to supercharge it, rims, tires, intake, exhaust, headers, light bar, leveling kit and thats about as much as you can do to this truck. Its already got pretty much everything you need to be a off road beast straight from factory. I will not go that far with my raptor ive put a intake and tuner in mine so far im pretty happy with the truck the way it is.

How much of an improvement did you feel from the programmer?

A great way to spend about $500 would be to Fed X your wheels and tires to me.
