Raptor rebirth like a Phoenix

When i first saw this truck I had no idea the amazing back story or transformation behind it. I was impressed at just the level of performance. Now I read about it I love it even more. Many would have let the truck die but not the owner of this Molten Desert Runner . He came back with the help of outlaw offroad and made one of the meanest raptors to date. Check the pics out below

These are some sad photos and I am glad everyone was ok. Great time to look into getting a cage for your truck. I fear things would not have been so pretty if without one.

Ever wondered what 30 inches of real travel 4 linked looks like?

    30 inches of travel bumped and strapped. How much fun will this be..

Serious cage for a serious truck

The attention to detail is impeccable. This is one truck that is prepared and thought out

DRILL
Impact drill mounted mounted the impact.open the passenger door, it’s right next to the seat. bolt in the bottom that the socket fits onto. You use the impact gun to loosen it and the gun comes out. Yes I did take the idea from one of Robby Gordon’s Speed TT
