Long story….here is the Link if you want to read about it.
So, I did try to get my Raptor back after about a week, would’ve gotten bent over.
Decided to embrace my decision, started planning my build. First question and a very important one is being realistic about what I plan on using the vehicle for. You can go down a rabbit hole real fast.
For me, I enjoy getting out in Colorado camping and flyfishing. I don’t really consider myself an off-road guy but will go to get to camping/flyfishing spots.
Day of pic:
First thing I did was ceramic tint all the way around including 85% windshield.
After tint:
Did some small things like the auto mirrors/windows down/up mod and the filter mod.
Put the rear storage shelf in from Bison gear, working on a solution to keep gear in place for that.
Bought factory rails and a rod quiver:
Then picked up new wheels and tires:
So the GX has grown on me, so comfy.
Plans:
Victory full roof rack
Sliders
Victory Blitz bumper
Eventually a very mild lift.
Next will either be sliders or the roof rack depending on any deals I come across. I’ll more than likely be adding more molle panels and a fold out table to scratch the “mod” itch.
One thing I have been looking for is a slimmer drawer system. Something that will match the trim piece you’d take out for a drawer system anyway.
Cheers!
