Finally!!! Some Pictures & Update
Hi Everybody,
I apologies for this delay to show some pictures...
It will be soon one year that I had purchased the 2011 FX4 for this Raptor conversion...
At this with my spare time, most of the work is now done, perhaps, I still need to finish the inner fenders (front & back) to accept those 37" Toyo tires and cut 1" of the Raptor front sides bumper, and soon it will be ready to touch the road!
It was a HELL of a project and I really underestimated the whole time that was needed to make this a reality!
This was my first experience with fiberglass fenders. To make them fit fine with a smooth finish (without wobbles), the time consumed was really a black hole! Perhaps, Practices makes perfect!
More pictures to come soon, Thank's for watching!!

Rear fenders.
Right, those headlights are temporary. Since I will soon go for truck inspection, I preferred passing with the OEM set headlights at that time. Not sure retrofit HID headlight would pass...
Concerning those bed fenders, they are 3" wider than the oem ones- I had to extend the inner fender gap by 3" to close the wheel cage (not shown at time of the picture). I agree that the front fenders really look wider than the rear ones. I think this setup is to give more wheel gap when cornering with 37" tires?
What is missing:
- EcoRaptor logo, 3.5L Twin Turbo Logo, black camera bezel & logo, 37" Toyo tires with 22" Fuel wheels (with larger offset). Back Cat Double exhaust, SCT Tuner, cold air intake. I think this is it for phase1!
Regards,
