The offroad and performance mods could be considered a big plus. It does seem they installed quality stuff. Updated headlights is nice too for those early Gen 1's without the HIDs from factory. The knife cuts both ways tho! Almost certainly it was offroaded for some of it's 90k mile life. I can only imagine what kind of fun you can have with a supercharged 6.2 :D If a mechanic gives it a thumbs up I would buy it.

Shocks look factory? maybe? (why no good photos of the suspension?? - ask for those) I'd factor in rebuild /replace costs for those at that mileage.

Of all the supercharger kits to get, a roush truck is the one to buy as Ford supported them from the factory and they tend to be the most reliable

Well, heard back from my insurance... total loss.... YEAH! I had full coverage and the deductible is pay for because this was on an emergency call. I’ll miss the old Ram and excited to get a raptor.

Got sent some pictures of underneath the truck, did a FaceTime with the dealer yesterday. I will be unable to see it in person and will have $500 non-refundable.

The rear Diff was just replaced by a Ford Dealership also.

What your thoughts, I am feeling pretty positive with the purchase but want to be sure before making a deposit.

I just witnessed what happens to the rockers on a gen 1 living in Mn. Not a cheap fix.

I’m looking for a gen 1 supercab right now. If it has undercoating I pass. I’m in no real hurry. Here is what a 90k mile raptor living in GA looks like.
