Here are some updated pics of the progress so far. The old frame was really tweaked so now the fun of a frame swap begins. The worst part is we are doing this with jack stands and no lift:(

Here are some pics of where the frame is bent about 6" inward.

This is the same arm that was on the truck when it took a direct blow from the pole. It hit right where the rpg logo is. She's straight as the day it was installed. We had to replace the bent tie-rod with a stocker so we could get it to roll easier.

This is the 2nd frame support that RPG ever built. It has never been removed from the truck and has been put through hell and back.

Thanks for the update Jarrett. Like many, I'm thrilled to see your truck on the come back trail.

Thanks S.

It's been way to long and I'm really sick of co-riding in everyone elses truck.

Hey Jarrett. Looks like you could really do up a nice build! Couple questions...

Did you get a new 2013 frame, or a used one?
Are you rerouting anything as you reinstall? Like the wire harness or brake lines?
Are you going to do a full weld in cage?
Why is the windshield out?

I love seeing that Texanna Ranch mud on the frame!:D

I know I'm blind, but why are there street tires on that Raptor frame? BTW-If I don't find out the answer, I will not lose sleep over it.
