[QUOTE="DIRTYFUN, post: 350174, member: 9361"] Told myself that this Raptor wasn't going to get any modifications for at least a year... That lasted about 2 weeks. So it's time to start a new build project. My approach is simple - A Raptor that lives up to the expeditionary prowess of my previous rig pictured below. The Raptor needs to be ready for heading out to the desert at all times, without sacrificing primary bed space, all the while holding the gears that's needed. IE hi-lift, gas, water, axe, shovel ect... Out with the old (2010 FJ TTSE) and in with the new (2013 Raptor SCREW) You can see from the picture that I clearly don't like doing any modifications to vehicles.
