[QUOTE="Outlaw Offroad, post: 123966, member: 1336"] [COLOR="Lime"][SIZE="5"]BUILDING A CUSTOM RAPTOR PRE RUNNER THE OUTLAW WAY[/SIZE][/COLOR] [IMG]http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z353/OutlawRaptor/ForumHeader.jpg[/IMG] Here at Outlaw Raptor we continuously ask ourselves the same questions... How can you make a Ford Raptor perform better offroad? What else can we do to make the truck handle even better in the desert terrain? All while keeping the comfort and luxury of a prerunner fit for a king?? Well here is the story of a truck where we did just that! I met the owner of this Raptor a while ago and from the very start I knew he had been bitten by the "off road bug". He made his grand entrance by towing his Ford Raptor from Texas to California for the first Outlaw Raptor Run. Since that run his truck has not left the shop and he has attended every run except the last two. This was due to his Raptor being stripped down to bare bones and starting an "Outlaw Raptor pre runner" Over the last year I have gotten to know this unique chap from Texas (we'll just call him "Rick") pretty well and quite frankly, he is a hard guy to impress! So when it came time to build this Raptor for him I knew he would have high expectations of the finished product. I have only given Rick some sneak pictures of the truck up until now. Currently the 2011 6.2L Ford Raptor SVT Crew Cab now has a 2" chromoly SCORE legal roll cage that leads into a fully tubular rear. We sectioned out the rear of the frame for more up travel and added cross braces and King 2.5" bump stops in the frame structure. The Raptor will seat 4 people in some Sparco Evo 3 Racing seats with 5 point Sparco harnesses that are mounted to a roll cage so Rick does not lose anyone while flying over the desert terrain! We fabricated custom rear shackles and had some Deaver long travel springs giving the rear of this Raptor 18" of fully usable travel. The rear axle housing was gusseted and a truss was added for more support as well as a quick dump filler for the rear end. To help control the rear end of this Raptor we will be adding some King 3.0 bypass rear shocks. To add some skin to the ass end of this Raptor we added Trophy truck style rear fiberglass fenders. To finish up the rear portion there are two 37" tire mounts side by side on the back. As of this week we are concentrating on the interior by adding new black suede headliner that hides the roll cage and rear inner pannels, new carpet throughout, moving the GPS unit into the dash and adding the finishing touches to keep that luxury "Ritz Carlton" interior feel! We'll keep you updated on this build as we get more parts in... Still to come: Long travel Kit W/King Coil Overs, King Bypasses and bump stops. Steering upgrade Custom Trophy Truck style bumper with lights. Fiber Glass Fenders installed or possible 1 pice TT style fiber glass clip. Drive Shaft Exhaust mod Windshield [ATTACH=full]185357[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]185358[/ATTACH] [COLOR="Lime"][SIZE="4"]Full tear down.
