Interior was put back in and the truck was ready for the dirt..
This is also when we put our very trick induction on..
---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------
We also had the guy's at Outlaw weld in some light tabs on the roof per our specifications.
Because we went to work in CAD and started designing our own light bar.
We also carved a new GPS and gauge holder and some center caps for the race truck and WIZ..

Very sweet!
where is the tie rod connected to for the light bar?
Are all of the air bags reinstalled?
I'll probably have more questions, hope you don't mind. I'll be all over this thing at TRR, lol...

The tie rod (s) , there are two now, you can see the extra empty tab in the photo, run back to a third mounting point at the back of the cab. We have run a wire back to that area before the interior went in for future use. We plan to install an actuator connected to a toggle switch to allow us to adjust the aim of the light bar from inside the cab on the fly.
The side airbags were pulled when the cage was built and the race seats installed while the fronts were retained. This is changing as we have some upgrades occurring as part of the NORRA prep that will change up the interior some.
Looking forward to letting you check it all out in person at TRR.

Ok to move forward with the build..
We took some time to go play in the snow fields of Mich.
Had a great time with https://www.facebook.com/GLRaptorExcursions?fref=ts running the Snoball 500..
We even managed to get the truck stuck..lol...
After the Snoball this is when a few partnerships were formed..
We were relaxing in Wiz's Hot Tub and started talking about the Mexican 1000 with Dylan from Icon 2010 + Ford Raptor Suspension Systems and Components. We laid out our plan, he was impressed and a sponsorship deal was born.
We are very proud to represent Icon with their great product.
At this time Wiz gave Designs & Signs Designs N Signs - Imagine - Design - Create. A call to see if they could help with a wrap on the truck (these are the guy's that wrapped Wiz's truck). They also came on board. Things were looking good.. One more call was made to the West Coast.
There was only one shop with the expertise and the dedication to get this truck race ready. Welcome to Outlaw Raptor
Conner was called and asked if he would like to join our team.
He became very excited and excepted the challenge. That sealed the deal. We now had the best shocks, the best shop to do the work and the best wrap company to make us all look good.
That's 3 sponsors right out of the gate. Grant left the truck with Wiz so the wrap design process could begin and applied.
Here are a few shots of the truck concept as drawn by Designs & Signs..
Then the final proof with room to add potential new sponsors..
Then the wrapping process began..
Done...
We are now ready for the truck to head back to the west coast and let the guy's at Outlaw Raptor have there way with her...
More on that soon..

Guys, when you do run in the Baja, are you replacing the hard tonneau cover with a bed rack?
