How did you find that crack? Nice job.
This truck was hit very hard to have all the substantial damage you've found. Do you know any details of the accident?
The truck is looking great. Looks like you're still in the market for a lower valence and front grill.

It's been a while since you mentioned cost (so many pages) but what are you in to this cost wise vs. buying one that wasn't totaled @REBELx504?

Well, as I stated before, I NEVER expected it to be hit this bad!!!
Initial build budget was $25-28k
with all the extra damage we will come in closer to $32-35k, but I was too far in to turn back once I bought the vehicle.
the good news is that it's a '14 SCREW with under 25k miles, and they are still selling for well above $45k, so I still came out good.
Plus, the journey and story has been a wild, sometimes fun, sometimes frustrating, but never dull ride!!!
P.S. stay tuned...we ain't done yet...Jaw dropping sound system, and a Roush SC in the future!!!

I remember your first estimates were lower than you figured but yeah you came out ahead and you got a nice little story to tell about the Raptor.
Your rebuild along with the infamous jumping Raptor rebuild are two of the best threads here at FRF, that is for sure!

I just found this thread tonight and read every thread. Congrats on nearly completing your Raptor "Resurection". Rebuilding a wreak, saving money, time with your son, Priceless.
My hat is off to Sir.

Didn't get any pictures as I was a little under the weather, but Rack and Pinion I ordered from RockAuto came in yesterday.
I spent about 2 hours doing the R&R on the rack...This thing drives sooooo much better with power steering...LOL

More progress last night...after finally getting to drive it for a couple days, I found a vibration above 50mph. I knew there was a little damage to the drive shaft, but thought it was going to be useable, but no...
Ordered one on Monday and it came in last night. Even though I worked late, I couldn't wait to get it in. Was an easy swap as it came with u-joints and yokes attached. The whole swap took less than an hour, leaving time to install the Grille which also came in yesterday!!!!!!
COME A LONG WAY!!!!!
