The 2011 Dakar winning Raptor, first time out. There were still stickers on the tires. The shocks are the same as our bolt-on kit.

I kind of like the lights embedded in the grill like that.

Considering all the "behind the grill" mounting options people are throwing out there... I'm surprised nobody has offered a combination of a grill with cutouts that line up with the brackets. I'm sure you could get really creative, just like the pics here show.

That is an amazingly clean looking truck. I love setup up front with the bumper and the lights in the grille, and I'm really liking that bed cage setup as well...at least what I can see.

Cool truck, but "Dakar Winning?" I watched every televised episode of the rally this year and watched every video on-line. There was no mention of a Raptor running the rally, not once. Win? PROVE IT.

You watched it this year, 2012. The Raptor won it in 2011, LAST year.
