I Think I'm Done...

[RCam]

Hi Guys,

I've had my Raptor since the end of December and here's what I've done to it so far.

Installed PIAA off road lights under the hood

Installed front receiver with winch power front and rear

K&N intake and removed stock restrictive muffler for a Flowmaster

Bed liner and tool box

Moved front suspension to middle perch and had sway bar quick disconnects manufactured



It looks good on the middle perch

I think that's about as far as I'm going to go as far as modifications. It's awesome already in the stock config!

Sure you don't want to add the RPG stage 3 to the rear?

You really need a proper retrofit to go with those PIAA's..... just sayin, lol.

Looks pricey! Is it worth it?

They're also not that bright. I replaced the bulbs with some 130 watt H3's but it didn't really help.

What are the brightest lights available? Most just seem like high beams on a regular headlight.

Stage 3 is DEFINATELY worth it. If you want to REALLY drive your Raptor (no worries about bending frame, be able to use all the rear suspension, the rear of the truck keeps up front end).

Even if it is a street queen and never sees the dirt, it is still worth it (reduces axle hop, improves ride)

Get Ducati's retrofit bizenon HID.. You will be amazed in the difference between 130watt H3 and 35watt HID... Night and day difference when the light is focused and directed properly.

So the PIAA's are not HID ? looks like it in the pic. Im sure you can do a plug and play kit for those and for the headlights I offer retrofits - http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f29/4-sale-bi-xenon-projector-retrofit-headlights-10156/

Yes RPG frame stiffner very well worth it. Even if you Only get the frame stiffner with air bump stop mounts (no air bumps yet) it will keep you from having a possible frame problem if you get a little too crazy off road

Oh welcome, enjoy the BEST Raptor fourm on the net.

Welcome, but sorry to tell you...it is never done. It's an addiction. I agree with the others get a bump stop when you can afford it.

...had sway bar quick disconnects manufactured

What are the details on those disconnects?
