Wow, that does look good! You think he's leveled?

I don't think so, not from what it looks like here.
Here is another video.

Got some of the beginner mods today.


The Old and Busted


The New Hotness


The Seven Sparta knock off


I know the Seven Sparta is a knock off of BuiltRight but it’s feels also solidly built and only costs a few bucks. Now the question becomes, what do I do with that space behind the seat?

Not sure which truck you have but if it's a SCREW 802a truck there's little additional room to be had....

Yea, that one. Not much space at all but I'll figure something to do with the space that is there.

Its in the bed, with a battery case. I’m still in the process of getting it secured/ mounted to the bed near the right side 2nd (smaller) Builtright panel.

Now I'm getting curious about this. Did you consider installing both batteries in the bed? I'm thinking weight balance, which might be totally the domain of the sportscar/hotrod thoughts not a ~3 ton truck.

That said when I relocated the battery from the radiator-support to the trunk of my hotrod I used a zero-gauge wire (heard they are sometimes called "welders") to the front of the car. Of course I'll be putting full current through there in all cases.

I left the stock batt in its location, ran the 7 awg wire from the charger/ isolator to the 2nd AGM battery in the bed. (added circuit breakers to and from both batteries as a safety precaution) I placed both the 2nd batt and ARB twin compressor on the passenger side bed. I guess it might help even out the weight with the fuel tank on the drivers side.
Still in progress, as I’m in the process of adding a marine solar charger and 12volt controller/ monitor.

know how I know that you haven't accepted that regardless of cost, offroad trucks get knicks, cuts, gouges, pinstripes, etc on them?

I agree with all you posted but...not all Raptors qualify (in my mind) as offroad trucks. Many MANY of them never see a poorly-paved parking lot nor a blade of grass except for the photoshoot.

I know. It makes me sad. like seeing a lion in the zoo, knowing that it doesnt belong there.
