[QUOTE="AZDezRat, post: 1668559, member: 53315"] Hello all - just picked up this bad a$$ machine last Friday! This would be my first pickup truck ever - I've had a '98 Jeep XJ (for 20 years), '06 4-Runner (V8), '78 Scout and a '77 Bronco (and a bunch of cars), but this is the first full sized truck. I just needed something that could tow 10k lb, so started looking at trucks, and just didn't find anything appealing except the Gen 1 Raptors (I was not impressed by the Gen 2 motor, at all...). In any case, I found this one on eBay @ a dealer in San Antonio. As soon as I saw what it was and what had been done to it, I flew right out and got it, and drove it here to AZ. I won't say how much I paid for it, but suffice to say, it was less than just the aftermarket parts, LOL! It's a 2013, has the dark blue metallic paint under that wrap, and about 27k mi. Thing is in perfect shape. Some of the upgrades include: Whipple Stage 2 Supercharger Baer Front & Rear Brakes RPG 1/2" Tie Rods, LCA's, UCA's RPG Gen1 RST18 Rear Frame RPG Stage 3 Rear Suspension, Deaver +3 SD Fox 2.5 x 4.0 Hydro Bumps Fox 3.5 x 16 5-tube Rear Shocks Fox 3.0 Factory Coil Over Front Shocks Fox Front Secondary Shocks Toyo Open Coutry M/T, 37x13.5x17, 5x Fuel Trophy 17" Wheels, 5x American Racing Headers Full Exhaust Fusion Front Bumper Fusion Rear Bumper BD ONX Lights So, this thing is a beast. And, I will make 100% use of it here in the desert. Not sure it ever saw dirt before I got it, but it has, and will continue to regularly under my ownership. Look forward to conversing with y'all! I already have some questions, and will start posting forthwith. [ATTACH type="full"]317995[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]317996[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]317997[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
