What did u do to your raptor today?

[Jakenbake]

There was a really thick spot at the top right near the latch post. I cut out that spot, its right on the edge..

I totally cut off the fiberglass taillight tabs too, but I left the sheet metal taillight mounts welded on the inner bed frame and just cut them off the OE bed side.

I loosened up the clamp on the filler neck and was able to get the existing hose to reach but I think the vent hose went flat because gas pumps shut off.

I think both hoses need some work to work right.

I cut that bigger part off as well, but perhaps I didn’t get enough. I’ll go look into that area again this evening. I have quite a bit of material left to cut, but I’ll probably have to take it to the edge as well.


Hindsight, I wish I would have done the same, and left the factory tailight tabs. At this point I am just going to have to make my own.

I’ll look into the hoses and let you know what I work out, assuming I get to it before you do. Good info on your part though.

All trimmed up, dovetailed and aligned with the cab, fitting and sandint is why there is glass dust all over the bumper... About to come off and get 3M 2080 wrap n the G212 Mettalic black.

The ADV sides take a touch of fitting.. In reality, tho is nearly none compared to the other brands

The dovetail mod and rear bumper swap mod kinda need to be done at the same time . Otherwise I'm like the kid with the '94 ranger who could afford the "lift kit", the fiberglass, the bigger tires.... but not the paint.

The bed is bolted back down, driver's bedside just setting on the bed, passenger is partially bolted.

If you are referring to how whole bed looks tilted, it is a combination of a few things. The softer deavers, stiffer front coils, pretty sloped driveway, next to no weight in the bed leads the springs to be in the softer part of the progressive zone and with the gas tank loading one side will result in a more obvious lean

I thought it was just a sweet gangsta lean

Not something that you would forget replacing. That's a long day with contortions involved.

Is that tool box worth $10,000.00 like Grumpy Stereo Guy's?
