I drove an 05 Screw for about 3 years but have always had delusions of taking the dive into $$$$ to make it really perform off-road. From day 1 I fell in love with the Gen 1 Raptor specifically the Blue Flame option, well a guy I work with mentioned that he was willing to sell his Gen 1 and I jumped on the opportunity to take it before anyone else did. Now the exciting part, the list of stuff that was already on it:

- Fox 3.0s front and rear
- Progressive rear leaves that I haven't id'd yet
- SVC Rear bump brace w/ Fox 2.5 bumps
- SVC Smurf front bumper and Baja rear bumper
- Aluminum transmission and transfer case skid
- 5 Rigid Industries R-46s on the front 3 white, 2 amber
- Raptor Retrofits hid conversion
- 5 Bronze Method Roost 17s w/37 12.5 BFG KO2s
- Re geared to 4.56 (I think) for the 37s
- ARE matching canopy w/digital dirt decal
- Magnaflow cat back
- Howe power steering pump and reservoir
- +2 +2 Front fenders from Glassworks (I think)
And the big one!
- 2.9l Whipple Supercharger stage 2

I had the alternator decide that it didn't want to have a pulley anymore going down the road so the first real upgrade I had to do was a Mechman 360 amp alternator. Once I finished that (which involves pulling off the whipple) I've been cleaning up the rats nest of wiring for the lights and such and the bolt that holds the tensioner/idler on the bracket from Whipple is about 1/3 in too long and bottomed out against the alternator bracket so I ground that down which quieted the vibrations down a lot.

Found the forum chasing different gremlins and figuring out what wasn't stock and the dangerous game of getting ideas. This has to be by far one of the best forums/communities I've come across over the years!

Looks good. Normally not a fan of camper shells but on a scab with the dovetail... it looks awesome.

@Richard Hinsley It has 135k which is most of the reason I was able to afford it, thankfully it has spent most of it's time being a street queen or in a garage.

@Pacific Wheel Thank you I was really torn on the look of it but it reminds me of what I wanted a full size bronco/raptor to look like so it has stayed on for now.
