Hock's 2012 Raptor Build

What are you doing to the rear bumper? ........


Took me a while but found a pic of the bumper before the cut. I see you're adding a step. What's the story behind it?

Also wondering how the WSI springs are doing for yeah. I know you carry a bit of weight in the bed. Lol....

GREAT LAKES RAPTOR EXCURSIONS

When I got the bumper from Raptizzle it looked like this...


I installed this top piece and found out that it hit the rear camera when the gate was dropped.



SO I redid the mounting brackets and added the cut out for the plate and the camera. SO it now looks like this and will not hit the camera or the missing Ford pogo, Ya dropped the gate down at snoball and broke the thinh. lol




SO far the springs are working our wonderful!!! Zero sag, zero wheelhop I got to say they are very nice!

Dang... didn't realize the bumper had come all that way.
I was going to ask where you got the dimpled plate, but looks like ADD sent it to you.

So it seems that my light blew the upfitter fuse #3. Went to get some cause I thought that the older mini fuses wouldnt fit shit they are costly! So I looked at the older style mini and held it to the newer style mini and they are the same size just the older is taller. So, if you guys need a fuse the older ones still work fine. and since I have 2500 on the older style Im all set now. Heres a pic.

I'll tell ya Goof, I was a bit concerned until I ran it at the first snoball but, It has shined well and I really like it more each day. Its been through a lot of run and not 1 problem with it so far and I do run it very hard.

Rear bumper mods done! I like it. Cost was side bend plate 100, bottom plate 50 line-x 150 = $300 Saves me from buying a new rear bumper!!!


Was like this...

Now its like this!

So, my stock exhaust was in bad shape. I found JBA has a exhaust for the Raptor using the side lightning exit location. Ordered it and installed it today.. I like a lot and for 360.00 shipped its great!!! I was able to install it still leaving the resonator still on the truck. The highway noise is so nice!! Quite as hell no drone at all!!!
