i don't know if this has been asked but i will ask it again if it has.
why not get a cheaper truck and throw the lift and other options on it for a lot less then your not ripping off a great stock out of box set up off to put your Owen set up thats not set up to race it no more? i mean its there cash it just don't seem like there happy meal has all the Fry's.

Maybe to him he altered it to make it better for HIS intended purpose for it. Thats all I'm saying. Hell there are F350 Powerstrokes all over the place lifted with big tires that never see a load in the bed let alone a trailer. Thats a bit outside of its intended purpose as well wouldn't you say? Yet you never see so much hate about that as you do about the Raptor being lifted. People put the Raptor on such a pedestal yet its still just a truck.
IMO if a guy wants to buy a Raptor pull the shocks off of it, pee on them, throw them in the trash, then put on a set of hydraulics to make it ride in 3 wheel motion down Crenshaw Boulevard while listening to "Pop that *****" by 2 Live Crew, then so be it. Would I do it? No. But its no different than if it were done to a regular old F150...because in the end....he paid for it. Not you

Sorry, That rant was not aimed at you...just a rant.
And thank you for acting like a mature adult about the discussion and not a 14 year old up past bed time.
Actually, that 2 Live Crew thing reminds me of a group of guys with two 12+ lifted trucks tried to crash a 4x4 beach party what had one time playing "Me so Horny" as they pulled up. They called all of us with our Yota's, JK's, and Cherokees "worthless little trucks" and that their trucks were better off road. They thought that all of the girls we had with us would be into their trucks but the girls just laughed at them and told them they were trying to compensate for something else. Of course this pissed them off and one of the guys had to show off that his truck could actually do something off road by going over a sand dune. It was like slow motion watching that truck flip over on it's side. We all went to see if no one was hurt, but the only thing that was hurt was his pride and his F-250. He told us he didn't want our help which was fine anyways since we were getting ready to leave to another spot down the beach. As we were leaving, a few of my friends in their "worthless little trucks" went up and over a sand dune close by him at the same angle he tried with no incident. It was classic good times.

Well, the raptor is designed as a baja truck, maybe this guy wanted it setup for mudding instead of for baja racing, I mean yeah it may be a little too much, but it still looks good, and I know that I can't deny that, also why do people spend so much money on Tuscany badlanders, you can do everything that's on a badlander for 1/3 of the price of the markup because of the package, people buy things because of the name, everyone knows what a raptor is, so it mainly cones down to the name slapped on to the vehicle, I would call this one raptor a t-Rex instead of a raptor lol

I think my iq dropped reading the comments of this thread. Did you pay for the truck? If not then you can't tell him what to do with it.... I don't much care for it but have a little respect. Plus this guy is stimulating the economy. 50k truck + lift + wheels + tires + whatever else....

How do you reach a hose at the pump to that gas cap, and how do you pump it once you do??
