    Any sport, hobby or interest cost money.
    I agree it wasn’t cheap, but apparently it’s something he wanted to do.
    I also have a Ford raptor and put over 1200.00 of factory decals on it (both graphics on each side of the bed and hood). I will never get my money back on the graphics at least he could remove it and resell the kit if he wanted to.

    Love it, great job.

    Just one question. Is there a better way to hide the cable under the license plate bracket? It's a bit of a giveaway...

    Truck looks great! I plan to go this route if I get a winch setup down the road.
    I like the tuffy license plate mount. What did you modify, and how hard was it?

    Where the bolt holes are to mount it behind the fairlead, I cut those holes off and drilled new ones above so it would sit snug on top of the Fairlead and clear the bumper. Just used the jigsaw to cut it, very simple.1 hwm 1.jpg hw 12.jpg

    You can say that again. I did a double take looking at that. Didn’t expect it to be that expensive

    Sweet truck! This does look super clean in the front keeping OEM looks. But for the price wooof I personally can’t justify it. Should have went low pro style and still wouldn’t of had to replace springs at that price. However; sick ride and enjoy it!
