Picture of what my new tow Rig will look like, they said will be at least 8 weeks before ready if not longer

Wow, you wont need to tow anything to CCR if you get that rig.

I bet it has stock tow points too. :

$$$ baller.

Gman-that is the plan, IM not towing anything other than my bike to Moab/Ouray. And I have ordered it and put money down so should be getting it. They said at least 8 weeks. Ive got a few weeks if I wanna change mind on options before Ford starts building it. Im back and forth or the supercab vs quadcab, the extra length i think would hurt it a bunch mountains and Moab where I intend to use it the most? But i just dont know, I think the supercab looks sportier... hmm

Finally got a good start on Roll Cage last weekend, should be almost done this weekend, all thats really left is x rear brace and tieing it into the frame. Its not bad for my 1st one, way harder than imagined, trying to tuck it in tight so I didnt loose much room.

You should look into this ranger into raptor conversion....http://www.fiberwerx.com/html/ford/ranger/1piece.html

Sweet truck man. Congrats on the nice buy!

 

[crazyflights]

Yea, the Ranger to Raptor Front clip would be pretty sweet. Unfortunely only mods planned for ranger at this time, is a 2nd set of narrow 33 mud tires for trails and eventually 4.56 gears, well that in put my detroit locer in the rear. July 19th is my 1st race in the ranger getting very excited. Its a blast strapped in with the 5point harnesses. Havent drove the poor ranger in since Tuesday now LOL, it might be feeling neglected, it was serving daily driving duties after I sold my car.

This weekend taking the raptor down to St.Joe state park, to run sand flats Should be a blast.
