Nice truck, nice mods! Who’s building it, TMX?

Thank you, fingers crossed on how it all shakes out. Yes, TMX is doing the work.

Initially i just started buying parts and was going to have a generic off-road shop do the work. After going by the TMX shop for the first time, I quickly changed directions. Those guys seem like the real deal. Hoping between them and Winfield i can end up with a fun ride.

Welcome! Yours looks like my twin minus the wheels. I can’t tell if you have the hood or tailgate graphics

Thank-you, hoping for a fun outcome.

I have no graphics, just plain and clean.

TMX built my truck, no complaints! Jason and Sam do magic down there. You’re going to be very happy!

Once you get it done, check out EXO. I know you have TRR down that way too. EXO puts on some great runs, fast and fun. You drive your own pace, as it’s not a race. We’re off roading to Cabo next month, can’t wait! Second Lands End run I’ve been on.

Ok, so here is the Raptor going to Texas Motorworx to get all fixed up. I made a video of the transportation procedure as well as documenting ground to fender measurements.

That sounds very interesting, especially for a novice like me. I am working out the final details on a road trip to Cabo. Will be mid November.

Oh nice ! I’ll be on that run….

Nice! Welcome to FRF!

Question: If you’re going with fiberglass fenders, why not do a 40” tire?

Looking forward to following the progress!

I currently have my truck wkrh SVc mid travel and getting the rear linked. Still going to run 37s for a while because I see a ton of carnage from 40s desert running.
You need to relocate the battery / fuse box / washer fluid.

I’m also not sold yet these trucks can run 40s for a while without damage. I’ll try them eventually.
