Hey guys and gals,
Take a look at a few pictures from my current project and let me know what you think!

Looks good! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Question, how do you plan to make a 6 speed shifter work on a 4 speed trans?

What are you gonna put the holes for the hill decent/traction control buttons? I wish I knew how to do all that stuff, that will be sweet!

Hey Red,
luckily it's the transmission that determines the number of gear shifts you can make; the shifter will only travel down through Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, 3rd(actually 2nd), and 2nd(actually 1st). Hope that answers your question!

Almost done! I will post pictures and a video tomorrow or Sunday; thanks for the support!

This is my first time actually using fiberglass on something so instantly visible in a vehicle, so trust me when I say this is a trial and error kind of endeavor! Once I've got the wiring finished I will be posting a DIY write-up and offering a full kit to do the conversion yourself without ever having to touch a can of resin or measure out lengths of wire!
That being said, I will be using that spot to mount my new CTS Edge Evolution Insight; again I will be making a custom mount that anyone will be able to purchase from me on the marketplace or EBay!

Mount for what? If you can make this easy for anyone to do I might have to start saving my damn pennies again. Fall of 2016 can't come soon enough! (When the 17 Raptor comes out) until then I'll be constantly updating my 04!

Do you have a a jump seat or XLT console? If so, you can sell the XLT console for almost the same cost as a
raptor console on eBay!
The mount I'm making is for a CTS Edge Evolution Programmer that will fit perfectly where that gray Raptor SVT button/switch panel is. I'll probably sell that mount for cheap like $25 or so.

A little blurry but you get the idea!

Once I get my new CTS Edge Evolution programmer I will design a center piece top fill it out!

The truck drives and shifts easily! I must've blown a fuse somewhere when I was wiring everything up bc my power windows seem to be out of commission!

Lookin Good!
