From a Hammer to a Raptor

[x-ray]

Time to find a house with a bigger garage!

We actually added on two cars to this house! The AMG and minivan fit just fine! If we weren't constrained by lot lines and the rest of the house, it would have been bigger.

When did an E-63 AMG become a sleeper?

Truck looks good.

Thanks. Most people just look and see a plain jane 4 door midsize sedan...until they hear it

LOL at the garage space. Geesh that's tiny.

It looks really big to me

That's crazy. I've got about 4 feet extra front and back in mine (attached garage).

Everything is bigger in Texas!

Awesome, fellow E63 and Raptor owner here! My E is Diamond White, also did the Alpha 750hp / 850tq tune and a resonator delete, car hauls the mail. A lot of people know they're fast but don't know they'll run 10s with a tune and traction, not much will hang with them from a roll.

Great looking Raptor too.

Sounds like a sweet E! I removed the center resonator too. Super cheap and man did it open up the sound. With the Alpha tune, that thing must really haul!

Truck looks great, @x-ray! Thanks for letting us be a part of your build!

I was under the assumption they came from the factory predrilled based on what others have said but maybe not.

My mistake, I looked and mine does have 2 holes. Damn I wish I never would have seen them. Time for a new bumper I suppose...

Just a quick update showing a few new things for the truck.

1. Had a hard time finding a rubbermaid action packer so I grabbed a Husky version from HD.



2. Love having the dog ride along since it makes him so damn happy but he is getting up there in age (almost 12 yo) so his arthritis doesn't let him jump like he used to so I picked up a folding set of stairs which works perfectly. They allow him to run up and down like a pup again!

Love those doggy steps. Mind sharing the brand and/or where you got them?

14.5" Ultralight 4 step version. No cheap but we tried a folding ramp and it was too unstable.

$239 plus shipping.

You need some front tint now ...

I only have a limited experience so far, but really happy especially for the price. Well made kit. Looks nice, tons of light output.



I liked the BD backup kit better than M&Rs offering and am very happy I went with that setup.

It is the Bed mat product and tail gate mat. They fit great. Easy to install. Just attached the 3M velcro strips to the bed mat and threw it in and pressed it down. Didn't bother with the adhesive promoter. Makes it so much better crawling around in the bed.
