    Hey Folks!

    I am not sure if it was posted here but @CaliRaisedLed was doing a complete Off-Road Truck Makeover for one lucky winner. Well, much to my surprise I was that lucky winner! I have never won something like this before and I am absolutely floored by this. The giveaway required me to drive my truck from Charlotte, NC out to Ft. Worth Texas to see The Tread Depot in Mansfield to have the work done. I thought I might share with you guys, the complete makeover that Cali Raised did to my truck.

    Link to their official video of the reveal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFN809MLlYk

    Full Mod List:
    • 3in Old Man Emu Complete Suspension Replacement Lift
    • New SBC Upper Control Arms
    • 33in Terra Raider AT Tires
    • 16inch Black Rhino Wheels with Bead Grip
    • Brand New Cali Raised Stealth Front Bumper
    • 360 Light Premium Roof Rack
    • Stealth Light bar in Roof Rack behind Faring
    • Bed Linered Side Step/Rock Sliders
    • Full Steel Underbody Skid Plates (front to back)
    • 2 Stealth Light Bars in Grille and Bumper
    • New LED Headlights and Tailights
    • Cali Raised Side Projection Ditch Lights
    • Mid Height Overland Bed Rack.

    I was absolutely floored by the result. So incredible. It performs really really well (albeit slow without a regear). The next steps are getting a 5.2 in there so I can actually accelerate again!! That and I had to do just a smidge more trimming for the tires hahaha

    I was thinking the same thing. My hope is to sell as much of the OEM stuff as possible to pay for the gears :cool: . Now the hard part, to get a locker or not to get a locker.....

    Truck looks great, congratulations on the win!

    I had those CaliRaised pods for years, held up great and never gave me any issues.

    Thanks! That's great to hear. I hope I can leave them on there for many years.


    I always felt the exact same way. Giveaway's to collect entries then just ghosted on if the winner actually got anything. I wasn't totally convinced it was real until I picked up the truck post-mods. lmao, 19 hour drive one way, and I didn't believe it until I was driving home.
