Man, glad someone pulled this back up ..... I had totally missed it! That's a great job .... please don't add the "mud" decals.

(just joking, it'll look great with or without)

The night that my wife looked out and shouted "There it is!" when she spotted the truck we now have across a 4 lane highway after 2 months of looking at trucks within 80 miles all around here .... was the same night, the same moment actually, that I was staring at the first Raptor I ever saw, a 2009 SCAB Raptor with no ugly "mud" decals and painted that beautiful orange looking color with gold specs. I thought she was looking at the same and I said "Yeah, but what is it?" as it was a couple rows away then.

When I saw what she was loking at, I also fell for it ..... but I still liked that Raptor. That was August 2009, I can still look at the pics and wonder if ..... yep, "Wife Unit" saved me a bundle that night.

There's a guy not far from here who has a Screw Raptor in blue and it's never been washed ....

I hope you get this. I was wondering what year raptor body parts you used for your building? I am getting a 2006 and would love to build one my self. And where did you get the suspension parts? Thanks for your time.

Any year parts work. You just have to call off road shops.

Fitting

So the stock raptor bed lines up and fits on the 04-08 perfectly? And are those actual front fenders and good from one or fiberglass? If stock did they line up perfect?

Yup haha. Bed is the same just need to do some wireing that's simple, new filler neck and tighten the bolts. Done! Every part on my truck is made for a raptor. No after market stuff. front is tricky. Need headlight brackets and you will see where to drill a new hole in the fender in my previous pictures.

Hey d.turelli. I was wonder if you used the two cast iron spacers when you installed the front shocks, and if the holes lined up with ones on the shock tower? These are the ones I'm talking about

Not I did not use them. The angle was not right.

Great job man!

Question, how did the rear bumper fit? Any modifications or did it bolt right up?

Bolts right up. Just see if you have the 3 bolt bumper
