How to Convert your Base F150 Into a Ford SVT Raptor

[QCRappy]

If you want a Raptor, BUY one, don't create one from a different platform. I agree with Ruger...TOO many posers lurking...making their front grills "blacked out" with the FORD emblem. Looks retarded. On the way back from TRR my buddy and I stopped somewhere in New Mexico (I think...irrelevant where but...) we saw three F150's with Raptor wanna be BS on them...in the same parking lot.
I wanted a Raptor since I saw them released...and instead of buying a cheaper truck and doing a Frankenstein build in my driveway, I worked my ass of at sea, saved my money and bought the real thing...this thread is embarrassing to continue on. Respectfully, Lou
(Sigh, okay I am better now)
EDIT: Fine, in all fairness to Vendor ReadyLift Suspension, call it a Stegosaurus or Triceratops. The Raptor name is already created

You calling me a poser and wanna be? Wow bro get off your high horse and go back to the sea.

Clearly you didn't read what this poser said, it is an amazing platform to start a build from. I said I'm not trying to be a raptor and will never say it is.

Come on really? Why did you join this forum or any other? INFORMATION is probably 95% for most but obviously not you.

Respectfully from The Poser and Wanna Be

My apologies for being off topic Ready lift and to those who liked my other post my respects to you and other contributing Raptor owners

Don't think it is right to flame the vendor in their own section that they are paying for. If it was posted in the public area, then all game but guys this ain't right.

We don't mind the built f-150s, I saw one the other day that I was drooling all over, we don't like the f-150s that have less capability than a bone stock raptor and people go around calling them raptors (in some cases even going so far as to list their f-150 with a body kit for sale as a 100% genuine raptor to rip people off), so when a vendor goes around making it seem okay to call your f-150 with some control arms and a body kit a raptor, we get a little mad cause they're basically condoning what I've mentioned above, that's not cool

That's because people on the Z know that if they say one negative word about a vendor they'll get banned for life. Ask me how I know.

I understand the principle. However, vendors do not need to think that they are immune from the vagaries and vicissitudes of the marketplace nor of the consequences of bad marketing decisions. This is a forum. It is not the vendor's showroom. And even if it was the vendor's showroom, their marketing decisions would still benefit from the collective wisdom of the membership here.

Yes, I know, this is common sense. That makes it vulnerable to healthy criticism, too.
