[QUOTE="Snuggles, post: 1844979, member: 63144"] I've been lurking and occasionally posting for a while and realized I should at least post something here for background. I'm located in southern Washington state, just north of Portland. I mainly do what would be considered "light overlanding" or "extreme camping" with my kids. A long time ago I owned a fully caged and glassed Total Chaos prerunner, but don't feel the need to push the speed boundary anymore. At least not when the trails are lined with trees and cliffs. I recently purchased a very clean 2012 Raptor SCREW from the 2nd owner (1st owner owned it for 8 years and it was mostly dealer maintained). Very well taken care of and very little indication it was ever offroad. I'm in the process of updating all fluids just in case and then will start pecking away at mods. I've already purchased, but not installed, shocks, eibach front springs, magnaflow exhaust and a couple of minor accessories. Pics from the day I picked it up: [ATTACH type="full"]379407[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]379408[/ATTACH] The backseat looked like it had never even been sat in: [ATTACH type="full"]379409[/ATTACH] As I'm preparing some modifications I find myself with a dilemma - in my mind the Gen 1 Raptor is an absolute classic and I feel like keeping it as dead stock as possible is the right thing to do in some ways. I'll probably just keep all the parts I take off so I can return it to "original" someday. I plan to keep this truck forever. [/QUOTE]
