Love it guys. Keep them coming.

I agree with everyone with the better skid plate and rear diff protection.

**A tire rack that sits at the bulkhead of the truck, angled enough to let a tonneau still be usable (if so desired) Up and down Adjustable perhaps?
Kinda like this

(no bike of course)
Accomodate for Gas cans as well?

Don't know how having the wieght of the tire there would affect the handling tho.

Swing away spare tire is in progress and the Chase rack spare tire set up with lights will start next week.

* Skid plates - the truck is essentially unprotected from below. I don't think we need full underside protection but there are certainly some areas that need protection and I suggest you prioritize them and offer skid plates for those areas that can be added as owners' budgets and priorities allow.

+1 The stock t-case skid plate is pretty flimsy, esp for a vehicle that very likely will see some high centering.

I don't have a Raptor yet but I am amazed that nobody is offering steel skids to replace the Ford bling plate. Some 3/16 steel or thicker aluminum to cover the engine/t-case/trans would be a god start, something simliar for the gas tank would be helpful too. I'd also like to see some sliders that stick out from the body enough to be used as a step but that are also functional as rocker panel guards or hi-lift jacking points. Maybe something like below but extended from the front wheel arch to the rear wheel arch with some mesh or plate on the top to protect from gravel/sand/mud blasting the paint.

Search engine is your friend

ADD already has what you are looking for. There are pics of my truck with their bolt on sliders.

The only sliders I have seen looked like they were tucked under the rockers with two little square steps under the doors, not sure if you're referring to those ones or not but I didn't like them very much.

A nice high-tuck exhaust that puts everything including the tip above the frame rails would be cool too.

We have discussed this issue/product numerous times and I've suggested a quality replacement for the factory running boards. Truth be told, the factory units do an excellent all-around job and would be hard to replace.

ADD did a really nice job on their rock sliders. But I'm not sure they protect the side of the Raptor from stones, etc. as well as they could but that would take a different design. ADD's design and workmanship appears to be terrific and they didn't focus on replicating the protection features of the stock running boards.

Yes ADD can extend them further but I wanted something that was as close to the body with still giving the girls a place to step in.
