What did u do to your raptor today?

[Raptor Embroidery]

Threw on some Anzo Ubar headlights and some wheel spacers. Not too bad those Anzo lights. Does anyone have any experience with pulling these apart? Looking into doing some LED accents and changing the LED bars.

You won't be able to change the LED U-Bars. They are mounted with 2 screws each and are lit at each end with a SMD LED chip. You can make them switchback (white running light, amber turn signal) if you use 4 Switchback demon eye kits from the retrofit source.

I'm doing a lot of work to my Anzo headlights.

-Mini H1 7.0 bi-xenon projector
-laser etched projector lenses (robotic eye)
-6500k HID
-Rigid Dually midnight edition to replace high beam reflector
-switchback U-Bars (white running, Amber turn signal)
-2 switchback strips on each side
-Custom laser cut acrylic side markers backlit with RGB LEDs
-RGB projector demon eyes
-Gloss black turn signal reflectors
-paint the shroud gloss black to match

When you get ready, I can make you custom side markers for them with any logo you want. My laser engraver is very versatile and is actually the way I cut the acrylic and put a Raptor logo in it. I also laser etched the robotic eye into my projector lens of the stock projectors as a test before etching it into the new mini H1 projector lenses. Laser etching does not affect light output and there are tons of designs I am capable of doing.

I measured and hand cut the brackets to mount the new projectors. They're made out of .032" aluminum and will be mounted with JB weld and 3 bolts. The projectors will mount to the plate I fabbed up with 4 bolts.

Here are the new projectors. I made some side by side comparisons. The reflector on the Anzo projectors is very dull and not very reflective. Their projectors would be much better if you added a clear projector lens and got the reflector recoated in chrome.

The bigger reflector is from the new projectors. The smaller is the stock Anzo one.

How big of wheel spacers did you go with?

I got the 1.5" Hubcentric spacers.

Usually when off-roading we tend to stay away from large spacers but know a few that haven't had an issue. Interesting to see the folks that are selling them mention that they took their raptor off-road aggressively. Wonder who that is. Are you keeping stock wheels and had some aftermarket suspension that requires you to get the wheels out?

I am asking because I purchased a set of UCA and found out that they wouldn't work due to stock wheels so I ended up going a different route instead of using spacers.

I think @Kanakry runs some spacers, butt in the rear.

Butt in the rear...........hahahahaha

Doesn't t_j run spacers? Or did for a while? He goes at it pretty hard and never had any issues.

I'm just running these more for looks than anything. Just going to use these until I can decide on a 37" tire and rim combo. Then they will most likely come off. Was looking at the method nv rims but I'm starting to see them more and more often so back to square one.

glad you caught that

Yeah, pretty sure @t_j does too.

Yes, I was aware that t_j was running them and recall him saying that he didn't have an issue, hence why I said a few have run them without any issues. I thought t_j removed them and ended up selling them though.

I ran 1.5" spacers for a while before I got the methods from @Jimbo's fire sale to clear my UCAs and dual shocks. I sold all these spacers to @Kanakry.

I ran them pretty hard with no issues.
