Tizz, Wiz, Gordon, Rasco, Yukon Joe, Birdie, BigJ, Stoner and many others on FRF are the ones I looked up to, when doing the few mods I have done, but they also attributed to the UPS man coming to my door on a regular basis, which contributed to me becoming a single man for almost 2 years. (Yeah, I have bit the dust again since that happened). Warning: UPS Man =s Milk Man of the old days.

Was worth it? Hell Yeah! But have to say I will never reach the aspirations Tizz did with his first Raptor, unless I win the lottery. That Raptor was a Beast!

This is a question I have asked myself many times. Prior to rolling my truck, the most fun I had with it was with 3.0's and the rest of the normal mods. Then I took it to the next level, caged it with seats and harnesses. Now I had a truck that felt like I could drive it faster than the truck was actually capable of. Then I rolled it, you can all just imagine the amount of money that is in my truck now, it's so noisy you have to wear headsets Offroad, locker reared on the street and so on. Do like it, of course I do. I can run three foot whoops at 70 mph plus.
Now here lies the new problem. I go with other raptor owners with moderately modded trucks so I try and do runs that they also have fun on. Therefore my truck is overkill. If I had it to do over, I would have left it alone with 3.0's and been more than happy.

Can't get much more of a real response than that considering you're fresh off an insane build. I will say that if my old truck was on par with yours, I would've never sold it. That was the problem. I wanted to cut it up and go bigger but it didn't make sense to start over on an already decently built truck.
