He took a 5.0 and did a full Raptor conversion to it because it's awesome and he can. This is not a daily driver, it's a purpose built, extreme show off truck, and it's perfect as that. Btw, 22's wrapped in 40's can do plenty of offroading, there's plenty of rubber there.
Finally someone understands... Now i know why i stopped posting here lol.

Well it's kind of strange because some people only like trucks a certain way and don't think about what other people (the people who actually own the trucks) want and care about. There are people on here that can appreciate a Bad A rig that's above and beyond regular modifications, but others find the threads before they do sometimes. OGTerror has a truck that is super built to be used offroad and everything he does has a useful and practical application for him. But his truck is designed for that, just like yours is designed to grab attention and promote what you do. They are quite different, yet the same in that aspect. Everyone loves his truck because it's insane.

There is another guy that converted a 2006 to a Raptor to promote his automotive business. Everyone loves his truck too. So there are definitely people that can appreciate cool trucks on here

He stated multiple times that it was not a Raptor, but a conversion. But I agree that it wasn't all that clear that that was the case because conversion could have referred to the building up of the truck. But in a lot of ways, a regular truck converted to a Raptor with Raptor body panels is cooler because it's much more difficult to do so than to simply buy a Raptor to start with. It's all about modifying everything as much as humanly possible. This is likely this man's pride and joy, and his ultimate toy that is his wonderful obsession. We all love our trucks, he just took it to a new level.

But would you actually build a Raptor up? It seems to me that you don't like anything that isn't stock lol.

Yea it has over 35k invested but all paid itself off. Someone sees the lights and want them, i sell them some. Someone sees the interior paint, i sell them the paint job instantly.

Well once i sell this truck my first plan was to buy the new 2013 dodge vipe an vustom paint it viper green.... But im opening up a dealership/ custom shop with my buddy. Decided that lifting trucks an reselling will payoff a viper much sooner. Trying to do this by my 27th birthday in sept

At least OGTerror is not trying to come off a Raptor and it is an amazing individual effort.

https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...-dsc06035.html

On the other hand clone cars/trucks are FAKE. If you want a Raptor, then buy a Raptor, there are plenty of them available at invoice.

If this is a business venture, as a buyer I would MUCH rather have a straight Raptor that was modded, than a cloned Raptor with mods. I dont see the point of dumping lots of cash and effort into a Raptor clone with a lift but its not my dollar.

If he added some Raptor styling that would be one thing. Passing it off as a Raptor with the Raptor badging is the only thing that annoys me. I would also not want a fake King Ranch either, but again its not my dollar.

Then just say that from the start or don't get upset when the forum says the parts don't look/function right as a whole.

Keep posting pictures.
