Cummins to Raptor

[czechdogg]

Nice! I kept the cummins and added a raptor. But I do agree that the smog system sucks.

I would've kept mine, it's an 04 6 speed with the full Carli treatment and had brand new rubber to boot. Passed it on to my son, it was his dream truck! When I move to Montana here in the next year or two I will likely either pick up a 12 valve to build or p-pump a 3rd gen. Mean while modding the Raptor will keep me plenty busy.

Congrats and welcome!

Nice bro! Welcome to the Raptor addiction!

I am in the same boat as the op, i am currently in a 08' mega cab and am in the market for new. The inflated diesel prices and fuel mileage sucks these days. I use mine for work (travel) and am going to opt out of driving after my spring season. I have another diesel (03' twin turbo) as a toy so im still in good shape.

I am currently looking wherever i go in my travels. When/if i do buy i would be using it for work for the next month. From what i hear i'll be stopping at most gas stations too.
But the maintenance and fuel prices are kicking my ass anyways. The Raptor will be my 2-3 day a week ride in summer and winter months when i have to go into the office.

Who built the truck vault for you? I would do that if I had a bed.

BajaSVT, yes it was on mid perch in the photo, however I've upgraded to the RPG tuned Fox 3.0 bypass shocks front and rear.

Here is the link to Truck Vault, TruckVault - Vehicle Cargo Secure Storage Solutions
You can get a standard height (which is whet Ive got) or magnum height. I bought mine used several years ago. This was the second custom install i've done with it. If you get a new one from truck vault, you can get a kit specific to your truck bed. you can order them completely weather proof or for install under a cap or cover.

I used Turnbuckles and D-rings to anchor it down for off-roading and added bolts from the inside of the box for security from theft.
