My bad. I'll post them tonight.

You guys are funny.... I think you both need helmets.

We're getting them on now so we're prepared for more of your witty banter...

Umm Yea, OK.

I took responsibility for my sh*t, fixed it, learned from it, and adjusted accordingly. I wanted to point out the double-standard here. I think it worth pointing out that one should not ridicule another Raptor owner when they themselves might be having that uncomfortable conversation with a Ford rep themselves one day.... nuff said.

Oh no!!! Not an uncomfortable conversation!!! I totally see your point now!! I never want to have one of those again!!

Get over it already...

Jeez Tank, it looks like your truck was dragged over boulders without its wheels on :wow:

Its sad to thing that something as simple as a skid plate would have prevented most of the damage.

Is the driveshaft okay? It looks like it is scored from the left muffler pretty good. Personally, I'd be concerned with it being aluminium.

Yeah, it's bent and dinged, but if you found the right shop to custom build the tranny c-member and plate up weak (bent) spots, I bet you'd save some bucks. Assuming it drives, tracks and sits straight enough.

The belly of my rock crawler '78 Dodge looks worse and I an sure that the Raptor frames are much stronger.

The transmission cross member and mounting brackets really took a beating. Did you consider having x-member and mounts custom fabbed, in addition to the skidplates?

BTW, adding headers really cleaned up the exhaust routing. Without them I think you would have had a lot more exhaust damage.

I thought about it but the only shop that could really handle something that in my area that I trust is RoushYates and I really don't have that kind of money or time.
