badm0t0rfinger's 2014 Raptor build

[badm0t0rfinger]

This had been bugging me for a few weeks now.

Looks brand new.

Super easy, 6x T25 Torx bolts, 2x 9mm bolts, a brillo pad and some flat black rattle can. Took 30 minutes, and that was with explaining what I was doing to a neighbor.

Its a good trait. I take a wire wheel to the chassis every now and again and do the same, and then put on a bit of fluid film.

I've repainted the front and rear parts of my frame...still gotta do the middle.

Oh that's better. Do that instead of what I said.

If they actually make a supercharged 5.2 raptor, I will be first in line.

Not because i'm one of the "HAS TO HAVE V8 DONT CARE" morons (My last like 7 trucks have been ecoboosts), but just because blown v8 supertruck that can run with the big boys in baja? Yes please. Although i'm quite leery of the price... A well optioned 2020 Raptor in Canada was ~$96,000

A supercharged shelby motor'ed 2022 Raptor? Probably $150k cad...

I'm pretty sure thst for 150k you could build something faster....buuut you'd have no warrenty or resale value...haha

There was recently a sand rail for sale out here... twincharged hellcat engine.

There was no warranty.

I'm also not a it must have a v8 crowd, I mainly didnt jump to the GEN2 because I had no reason to. They're good trucks but they never did anything for me, and yeah the price was daunting. My truck was sub 60k out the door with taxes, you cant even start talking about a similarly optioned truck for less than 70k USD.

Those Shelby and Roush packages, unless actually tuned and done up correctly, are sticker packages made to divorce those with more dollars than sense from their money. IMHO

Don't even get me started on Hennessey.

MSRP on 2021 302a are 50k CAD or higher here. Raptors all were 88K+ locally last I looked.
My mortgage is 119k currently, hard to justify truck payments larger than $1000 per month.

I just sit on the build and price page and build trucks I want and can never afford instead.
