The Raptor is a great truck....I like it, if I lived near the desert, Id be all over it. Around here, its mountains, rocks, ruts, roots.....no high speed crap to take advantage of it. I like low gears, lockers and armor.
The hell with the Raptor, I think more try to compete with the Dodge Power Wagon, winch, 2 lockers, skidplates.....theres no sand dunes around here, a Raptor is useless.
IFS is great if you never touch an unpaved road, rough roads, heavy loads. If I didnt need a 4x4 truck to pull my trailer into the mountains and haul heavy things, Id drive a Golf TDi and get 5x the mileage.
This is true for the metrosexual, urban cowboy types that never use their truck as a truck but want to look cool in their to their neighbors. With a solid front axle, you can use locking hubs to improve fuel economy, decrease wear and tear and have a bulletproof front end you will never have to...
Nice truck....I still cant believe for $1000.....around here you would be lucky to find a high mileage absolute rust bucket for $1000, not a dually either, you would be lucky if it was running. Thats an awesome deal.
Hey man, just saw this thread on here. I love your truck, it is so clean and well done. I think it sits perfectly as it is, the wheels and tires really complement the look. I thought the tows looked great on it.....
I like the push bar and the roof rack with the spare. Id go for some plain, black steel rims with some Duratracs, level it out and maybe some LED tailights. I like your 'Hoe as it sits!
The black one with the bakers dozen cab lights.....wow thats ghetto. Really, if you cant afford to do something right.....DONT!! The dude with the Civic rated wing and the stacks off of a pulp mill.....nice, thats class right there.
I dont know whats worse, the home made Home Depot wood interior, the Wal Mart racing chrome or the cheap ass horrid seats.....ewwwwwwwwwwwww. WTF is wrong with some people???
The guy who owned my SN95 Mustang before me must have used the brush at the coin wash frequently. The paints not bad, its just so heavily swirlmarked youd think I powerpolished the thing with sand.
My 1996 Mustang, V6 for now, but I am studying on how to make an LS motor work between the shock towers. I love the Mustang, but when it comes to engines, cant be a good old fashioned 5.3 or 6L :evillol:
