Hello everyone. [Edit: Yes, I'll upload pictures soon, I sensed this would be an issue when I posted. :/ ]
I picked up an 8,000 mile used 2017 almost a year ago.
One of the first threads I read was from @soulsea and a lot of his initial goals were similar to mine -- I had a lot of the same preconceptions (as did he, it would appear) about what I wanted to do with the truck.
At the end of the day, it's turned into an excursion/camping and daily driver that gets a lot of stares and it's probably going to cause a lot of LOLs/choking/warnings from folks here who will just shake their heads and tell me I should have bought something other than a Raptor.
At the end of the day it's a fun distraction for me and I love working on this thing -- I've done all the installation myself with the exception of the RPG rear suspension because I didn't have a second pair of hands
I'll probably edit this post a bunch of times for stuff I've forgotten I've added but here's the gist:
- Leitner ACS rack system with dual gear pods (more in a second), dual gas and single water containers and maxtraxx mounts along with third support cross rail
- One pod has a secondary isolated battery unit with a whole host of BlueSea and Powertrays additions on top of the Oddessy/Genesis setup
- GoalZero 1400 LiIon rechargable power power source
- GoalZero solar panel for recharging
- The other pod has an ARB on-board compressor connected to...
- UpDownAir 4 wheel air inflation/bleed-down setup
- 20" Rigid light bar pointing backwards mounted to rear cross-bar of Leitner (don't ask)
- Tepuis ruggedized Kukenam 4 roof top tent (+privacy skirts, LED lighting, etc.)
- ARB 8' awning with aluminum enclosure (+mosquito nets)
- DECKED storage system (lots of gear including propane stove, chairs, etc.)
- Cargoglide slide-out platform mounted on Decked (ARB fridge, storage containers in bed)
- Wilco off-road spare tire hitchgate w/bugout racks, hi-lift, pull-pal and chainsaw mounted
- ProEagle 3 Ton jack w/mount
- Krazy Beaver shovel + Fiskar Axe mounted
- 17" Method MR312 Bronze wheels with KO2 tires
- Alcon 6-piston front big brake kit
- RPG adjustable coil perches
- RPG Stage 3 rear suspension with 2.5" Fox bumps
- Deaver HD springs
- ADD/Full-race intercooler upgrade
- AFE cold air Intake
- Borla ATAK exhaust
- SPD exhaust flange adapters
- nGauge tuner with 5-star tune
- Oil separator
- Swarfworks Warn Zeon Mount with Baja Designs lights
- Zeon 12K Platinum winch
- Raptor Lights Dual fog lights (Rigid spot/floods) in OEM openings w/their mount kits
- KC HiLites Pro6 Gravity bar with 9 LED lights on roof
- Baja Designs LP9s (x4) on front mount bar
- SwitchPros 9100 electronics controller
- ADC Tesla Style touchscreen panel radio replacement (not installed yet)
- DUHA rear underseat gun storage
- Consolevault center console Safe
- Builtright center dash mount system
- Magellan TRX-7 off-road trail nav system
- Cobra electronics CB system
- Hornblaster train horn setup with spare tire mount setup (this is hysterical)
- Chemical toilet w/privacy tent (my 4 kids don't like pooping in the woods -- 1st world problem)
At any rate, I wanted to thank everyone for the helpful posts that I've read while lurking and introduce myself. Thanks again to @soulsea for the inspiration.
Regards,
Chris
