I just noticed this thread and I must say that everyone participating in this build is doing amazing work! Great job guys on what will be a killer truck.

Cool looking LT design, I had come up with something similar after racking my brain and a lot of solidworks, so I know your head is in the right place! looking forward to seeing this truck finished.

Stock Raptor is wide, wider than most old trails. To have that much more travel and Keep stock width will really help keep you in the "wagon trails". That's a big plus!

Here is the first view of the LT kit developed by Corey for our trucks.

FYI It comes out at over 19" of travel, and as Jarrett has already said "STOCK WIDTH"

If he went any wider he'd probably end up rolling it... just sayin.

Well you would think wider is better, more stable, ect. But it creates a whole different set of problms. Dodging rocks, bushes, yucca trees, water mains, light poles, forget going through a drive through.
It was a micro cell that tumped him on his side

That front and rear suspension will let you take on terrain that would break a stock Raptor. Wait till Chris goes across a section of 12" to 18" whoops while sipping on his morning cup jo like he is ridin down the inerstate

If you have never had a ride in one of these types of vehicles it will totally blow your mind at the ride quality possible. At least that's how I felt about 15 years ago when I got to ride then drive a 750 + Hp class 8 truck. One ride and your addicted ! Right lil J

So I got some cool news today for RPG and SEMA.

The LPR 2.0 is officially placed with Meguiar's at the 2012 SEMA show. It is pretty cool too. It seems it is the first truck they have ever considered for their booth other than a 50's custom they had once. We were also the first vehicle of any kind to be chosen by the Meguiar's team for this years show.

I think Corey, Jarrett, Jamie and their teams should be super proud.

Great Job guys.

NICE! If I have my truck by SEMA I'll definately take the drive down to see the truck and the show!

^what he said, im already having to "forge new and creative trails" when rolling with my jeep buddies (hence my smashed in front bumper, damn stump in the side of a hill)
