here ya go

Nice... the last pic shows a clean setup. I like the look too.

You should be able to keep up with a stock Raptor... Gen1 or Gen2 and a fraction of the cost! :)

But don't get too used to the idea of not wanting to mod your Raptor... it's hard to resist!

Welcome to FRF!

I am guessing you own your 17 Raptor all of 20 minutes before you start thinking of how to upgrade it... I think it is just a function of loving to make amazing stuff even better.

Sick setup on the ranger. That looks like a ton of fun.

Thing about the ranger is the power. 3.0L manual trans. 2wd. Only fun on fire roads or level terrain at speed. No rock crawling or sand or mud.

Oh I'm already thinking ahead. Stronger tie rods. Front and rear bumpers. Maybe some aftermarket, stock replacement control arms. Wheels. That's about it. Not looking to long travel and throw a cantilever kit. That rogue stuff is amazing, but too much for my needs. Unless someone donated it lol. Then by all means.

I probably won't purchase the truck right at ordering time, I'm just presuming it will probably be mass hysteria. Correct me if I'am wrong. I see that most members in the past have ordered the truck, waited 8-10 weeks, and paid slightly over invoice. I would like to do the same, if possible out here in the greater LA area. Any help, advice, guidance for the process of getting the truck as close to invoice as possible is highly appreciated.

I got my 10.5 for sitcker from Galpin. I had to wait 6 months for Ford to even make it, but once they did I got it right away. Even then other dealers were starting to mark raptor's up. I've probably seen your truck around, SMP did my bumpers. Good luck with the dealers.

Who did you speak with to build it for you? Did you pay mark up or invoice? SMP did my shock towers. Years ago.

John Turner, not sure if he's still there. I paid sticker, I think some people were getting deals on 5.4's at the time.
