Hey All!

Just wanted to introduce myself. My names Matt and I live near San Francisco. I work in Local 8 Elevator contructors union and I LOVE it! Currently im in the market for a raptor. theres one on here specifically that caught my eye, but we will see what else I can find!

Im 26, and have been involved in cars and trucks my whole life. It started in high school when I bought my first car, a 1996 Mystic cobra. after modifying it and getting into drag racing for a while, I started to get bored of going in a straight line so I decided to sell off the drag racing parts and replace them with road racing suspension. The project snowballed (like they always do) and I ended up (FLAME SUIT ON) swapping an LSx motor into it. I got a great deal on the motor and I couldnt pass up the opportunity to swap it in. It's a fully forged 347ci motor with a big custom grind cam, milled AFR 205 heads, ported FAST intake, and Long tube headers. it puts down 450rwhp and 404ft/lbs.

Also had a 1995 pre-runner ranger with full Long travel front and rear. extended beams, deavers, kings, bed cage, engine cage, etc. what a fun truck. pulled 18" of travel up front, and ~15" of travel in the rear. only problem was it was my daily driver, and it wasnt as reliable as I needed it to be.

Ended up selling that truck to buy a 2008 Toyota Tacoma as a DD. After modifying that lightly (simple lift, wheels, tires, etc) I got bored and now thats up for sale in the intentions that it will be replaced by a raptor soon!

anyways, heres some pics of my cars/trucks

Welcome nice vehicles definitely a variety. Good luck on the suck, also check Raptors for sale section here in the forums. You may find something better. Also it seems like we rather sell items to members here. Again good luck.
