Perch Mod Discussion

[DesaRaptor]

AOlson - I'd check out Extreme Offroad and Performance in Katy. They have some big trucks coming out of there with a couple I've seen locally in town. They have done quite a few Raptors and they have an alignment shop there. It could be a one stop shop. I'd call and ask them what they'd charge you to do it.

Here's a link:
Extreme Offroad and Performance Katy Texas - The Leader in Car Audio, Lift Kits, Rims, Tires and Multi Media Units.

I will give them a call as well on Monday. It cant be a bad place from their surroundings?

Nah...not at all. And they've had some insane builds. I've never been there personally...but there's a guy in town with a huge F-250 on 40s that goes to school up at Blinn in College Station and he had his truck done there and his was one of the 8 trucks they hauled out to SEMA in Vegas not too long ago.

They also do this new kinda of paint called "hydro" that they can cover anything with...so if I ever decided to do my dash pieces in the truck I'll definitely look into that.

Now that I looked at their web site. I met them at the Coffee and Cars show last weekend. I have a business card from John Brothers. I just emailed them asking them for more info and a time-frame to get it done. That Giant F-250 was great looking.

Awesome...be sure to let us know on the price for the perch mod. If their prices are fair, I'd probably have them paint my fenders and do some other touches on the truck when I get it. They obviously do outstanding work.

I am taking it to Extreme Offroad and Performance in Katy on Wednesday.
They are quoting me 150 for the adjustment plus 90 for the allignment. I am also hvaing them spray my rear wheel wells with LineX for another 200.00
I will let you know how it goes.

Now that sounds more like it! Thanks for the update!

OK, got the Mid Perch done, and the Rear Wheel LineX'd. That place is awesome in Katy, they are on top of their game. Lot's of money to be spent there soon.
Adjust Strut x 2 75 ea. = 150.00
Alignment = 89.99
Spray Liner x 2 100ea = 200.00
Shop Supplies = 10.00
Total was 449.99 + Tax.
Not too bad IMHO.

Perch was chea but 200 for line-x seems steep. The convenience of getting it done all at once is worth something though...

I was looking for your truck last night but I didn't see it in the parking lot by the time we made our way outside. I quickly scoped it out at the game up in Buffalo though. The terrain looks sharp with the graphics. I've been kicking around the idea of trading for a Scab once Sebastian heads to college. May have to go terrain on the next one.

We need to meet up sometime and give it a good going over. The guys at the shop told me there is a Raptor Club meeting this Sunday at 59 Diner in Sugarland and then heading over to Sugar Hill Off Road Park on Bissonnet. I am not sure if I will make either or both of those events, but we sure need to plan something for us Houston based Raptor families.

Those guys have some great ideas on interior mods that I like. They have the ability to do Hydorgraphics and "wrap" the trim pieces both interior and exteriror with some neat patterns like dessert camo.

Yeah, I haven't made a cars and coffee or anything... So busy with work, and football, keeping the kids out of jail, etc! Plus I just started taking courses to finish my degree. I really want to make the next Raptor Run but it's hard to commit with everything else going on. I need to retire so I have some spare time on my hands. I haven't quite worked out the details on that though.
