Oh yeah for sure. I may sell the tires and get 37s though. I think it would look even better.

You could have this one. Minus the wheels. It is for sale.

Looks good, still considering the 37's? I guess you may loose some of the trucks ability going to a 37 though.

Possibly, but most likely no. It will take some trimming. I'm going to leave this one alone for now since it's for sale. It will be on though when I get my screw. I already have a parts list a mile long.

Getting a screw. I wanted the 6.2 and now with a little one due any day now I want the extra room. Personally I like the scab look better, but what can you do? I think the scab looks awesome now that I have the front lifted and wheels. Pictures truly do it no justice.

Awesome, would love to see it in person - it is sharp in the pics but I know what your saying about not doing justice. When you said you were getting a SCREW I did not realize it was another raptor. That 6.2 will be nice, do you know if SVT will run a decent tune on that motor, or will you have to wait on someone to start supporting that setup (php, troyer, etc).

There is already companies out there with stuff. I know on the other raptor site (not sure if I can name drop) that I am usually on there are lots of supporting companies. Hennesy has a ton of stuff supercharger and turbo kits for the 5.4 and 6.2. Also team jdm has some stuff out and in the works. From what I have been reading so far is people have been getting good response out of mods. There is one member with his truck at stainless works getting headers back fabbed up, kooks has a full setup. I'm sure there will be a ton more after sema. I'm most excited for super duty headquarters to come out with their suspension upgrade. This truck is truly a beast and is only going to get that much better. Gotta remember ford has to cut some things short for price and legalities of pleasing 50 states of dot laws. God thing is where they leave off the aftermarket is picking up and rather rapidly too.

Thanks! Technically this is our second but we lost the first one last year around this time due to hospital negligence.Unfortunately production doesn't start until november. So I'm guessing january-february.

Good luck on the screw! Too bad you don't live closer. I have some great hook ups at the dealer.

Nice. I remember my 03 screw. One of my favorite trucks. I had the no fear edition. It had fiberglass bedsides and fenders. Had it shipped out here from cali. I saw one on ebay like 6 months ago for 10k.
