Here is the inner tray with cut out for radio. You also see Rugged Radio's universal dash mount. I had to taper the right side of the dash mount to fit the taper of the storage tray. I made a adapter out of 16 gauge sheet metal that bolts to inner tray. Universal radio mount bolts to my...

Won't go into all the details of removing interior and console parts but can answer questions if anyone has them. Removed passenger seat, front and rear scuff plates and loosened "C" pillar interior trim panel Trying to decide if it's going to fit before I start cutting Decided to go for...

So, I did a lot of research on this forum along with others. Most seem to install their VHF radios in the center console under the armrest. Not real handy for getting to the controls. Some used remote head units but I’m not a real fan of those. I did come across a few that did mount them in the...

Are we talking welding the seam back up or the whole job start to finish?

I Would be glad to do it for anyone in the Phoenix area.

From the factory there is very little welding. Almost all of the aluminum structural panels are bonded and riveted.

Finished product. No trimming of fender liner, wanted it to look factory Plenty of clearance now

I did this modification a few months ago. My goal was to maintain the lowest stance as possible. I also wanted to maintain factory ride characteristics. This is my second Raptor, had a Gen1 for 4 years before buying my 2018. After these upgrades I have had the opportunity to drive my truck...
