So they took a very off road capable vehicle and made it very less off road capable by doing that to it to make it look more like an off road vehicle?

The guy that made this lifted Raptor and Honda Civic race ricers are in the same boat to me. I understand to each his own, but understand that they just made an off road ready truck worthless just to say "Hey ya'll, look at me". If you wanted to make some people cry for ruining a great off road truck, you have succeeded.

at all the armchair quarterbacks that are probably still driving stock trucks.

It gets tiring seeing all tha flaming on people who make the truck they wanted how they want it. Like it or not people the Raptor is not a trophy truck. 90% of the people who own them treat them as pavement princesses anyways. So whats wrong with lifting one? The body style coupled with a lift and bigger tires makes it look badass (although I would have no use for a truck that tall) and unique....way more unique than all the stock F150s running around with a level kit and 33s or a level kit and 35s on stock rims.
I love the pissed comments saying "its useless"... and "why would you ever do that?" Just like comments people make about show trucks. It gets ridiculous. Anyone who is a true gearhead can recognize and respect a sweet piece of machinery no matter what its use is or why the owner did what they did.

no **** the raptor isnt a trophy truck, but neither is this hunk of flaming poop.

your 90% of people never use raptors is complete and utter bull****. i can pull stats out of my *** to.

whats wrong with lifting a purpose built offroad truck? EVERYTHING. its idiotic and stupid. buy a regular old truck and lift it. dont take something designed to do one thing, and make it completely useless. its like lifting a dodge viper.

way more unique than a leveled F150 on 33's? sure, and way more useless as well.

any gearhead can recognize and respect a sweet ride? yep, i totally agree. and this lifted raptor is not one of those sweet rides. if it had custom fabbed bumpers, beefed up LEGIT suspension, and things like that, it would get all the respect in the world from gearheads.


so, any more *** kissing to do Buck, or are you done for the night?

Any more being a tool or are you done for the night?


So much anger. Woosah grasshopper.
Prove me wrong on the 90% thing. Sure its speculation but Im confident there are far more pavement princess Raptors than there are ones who spend more time off road than on road.

People act like the Raptor is some holy grail that shall not be defaced. Get a life. Its a truck with some spiffy suspension on it. If a guy likes the look of a Raptor but doesnt care for the suspension performance who are you to judge if he wants to change it up?

"A regular old F150" with the same lift and tires as that Raptor is no more offroad worthy than that Raptor. So what does it matter if he wants to do that to a Raptor or a regular F150?

I still get a kick out of all the judgemental bull**** from tools that think they are the final say on whats legit and whats not.

Trucks are trucks. This thing would tear through really deep mud or a bog with no trouble, and trucks like this do very well in the deepest and softest sand.

So what the hell is your beef all about?

well lets see, if you like the look of a raptor, but dont want the "spiffy" (as you put it) suspension, then you get a god damn F150 and put raptor parts on it, and leave the legit raptors to people who want a legit raptor.
but even that is gay. but not as gay.

and how am i a tool, please, explain that to me. as i am in no way acting like a tool.

then buy an f150 and lift it.
taking a PURPOSE BUILT VEHICLE and destroying that purpose, is ****ing retarded.

you aint gonna take a lamborghini and drop a honda 4 banger in it because you like honda engines. this is the same idea. changing it and destroying its purpose.

so gay.

What you are explaining would likely be more expensive than doing what he did.

And no need to explain the tool thing. You've done a good enough job showing it with your pointless judgement and immature word choice.
