[QUOTE="VLOCRPTR, post: 1290588, member: 29082"] 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 [USER=24793]@soulsea[/USER] 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 [USER=24793]@soulsea[/USER] for the inspiration. Regards, Chris [/QUOTE]
