Wrap & window tint is done. Trucks looks so sick. Props to Envision Wraps in SLC, Utah. These guys are masters. I literally picked up the truck from their shop and started an offroad adventure through Utah so I don't have any 'clean' pics right now. Color is super badass and really changes quite a bit based on lighting, almost like a chameleon affect.

A couple shots from Moab. Was there during Jeep Safari and to my surprise the only other raptor I saw was a stock one driving on the highway outside of Moab. I did Hell's Revenge trail and will try to do a full writeup of it. Aside from the long wheelbase, the truck was incredible. Did most of the hard challenges on the trail including tip-overs.

Just a little tire testing

Looks like they rub a little on 37's? Mid perch? Stock fenders?

I'm glad you posted a picture of a more aggressive tire on the stock beadlock capable wheels. I have the same rims and love them but want to go a more aggressive route for tires. Thinking 35's or 37's Toyo's. Leaning more towards 35's because of possible alteration to the fenders. Any input?

Just got back from Moab myself though I wasn't in the raptor. Did you attempt hell's gate with it?

Stock fenders w/ hammered pinch welds. The rub a little bit on the liner on full compression but i don't think it's hitting the actual fender. And ever so slightly on the flare, I mean barely touching, which you can see in the picture, an 1/8" trim there would cure that.

They did pinch the IWE vacuum hose on both sides and rip them in half. My mechanic came up with a brilliant solution to fix those and then zip tied them out of the way.

I'm also planning to get new gears now because I don't like the power lag in the 2-3 shift with the 37s.
