It’s a steel it alternative. More color options even though I went with grey and black lol. So yea basically the same thing, different name. I don’t think there is a claim that it’s better than steel it.
I can't believe how great this looks!!... I was skeptical, at first, but this (in my opinion) looks like something Ford would have built for Ken Block, in the prime of their relationship... I can't wait to see this in the desert sun!!
Love your comment. So here goes. The original wrap colors were chosen as a compliment to the original 2017 raptor that ran the baja 1000. We couldn’t make a wrap design based on it that looked good so we just worked with the colors instead and made a camo design. But that’s what the orange is from. This time the vinyl wrap industry has advanced enough to actually make an evolution of our ideas of the original 2017 baja truck. We tried so hard for the theme that we even named it atlas raptor. When ford first introduced the concept truck aluminum cab f150 it was called the atlas f150. Being a gen 2 raptor is a nod to atlas in mythology. A war between the first generation and second generation of gods is why atlas is carrying the world forward. So everyone that worked on it was given green light to not simply do their best work, but to do the next step in each industries evolution. The countersunk chromoly cage into an aluminum body, made to handle better on the road than any other truck, trophy truck or stock from dealer. The racing fenders with hidden hinges making one handed one person opening while allowing for 40’s is one of a kind. Tearing her apart for painting suspension so she holds up to road conditions is also a step above. The wheels and tire combo is also a reference point of the best that’s available. The custom multi position reservoirs on the shocks were ordered by Robby woods, Only seen in his diesel and then for this truck, but they are becoming common now. The wrap also. To my knowledge no one has been able to maintain a pattern on 4 different plains 2 of which are on different elevations. 3D wrap is the only way to describe it as in 3D chessboards, not 3D movies lol. All of this is doable and has been done in versions. But no one has done it in a package that looks like the next evolution of what ford would have done if consumer friendly. But anyway that’s why I love your comment. The entire point of the build and it got tied together finally with the wrap. I’ll put a link to the original baja raptor www.ford-trucks.com/articles/baja-1000-ford-raptor-gallery/
Oh man it’s been life draining. These projects can bankrupt/ and or be the catalyst for divorce. Only reason we got this far is cause my good wife made it easy to keep the house in order. At least in my tax bracket that is
Thanks man. Deactivated Instagram they were censoring and limiting engagement to levels of small accounts, so didn’t see the point. Gonna do the same on here soon. We’re on telegram truth social and rumble under the same name. IG is only deactivated and will get back on one more time when I got a good video of the raptor. Then Instagram and here will be over. Final days really
Hell yes! Too the MOOOOON
Lol. We went too far
@@420motors NEVER

Soon hopefully.
Damn dude, it’s almost there. Congratulations.

Truck looks great, Carlos; I can't wait to see the raptor on the next meet up.
Hell yea man. Hopefully soon. Might have to go in the zr2, damn truck is taking too lon
The rattle can paint on the suspension is Steel-It.

Looking real good. Keep at it, I know it has been a marathon of a project.
Oh man it’s been life draining. These projects can bankrupt/ and or be the catalyst for divorce. Only reason we got this far is cause my good wife made it easy to keep the house in order. At least in my tax bracket that is
Awesome build! Are going to continue upgrading and wheeling your ZR2?
Definitely. Just can’t afford to do both at once. I’m getting better at welding so maybe I’ll go ahead and cut up the rear of the zr2.
Base
Looks amazing man. What happened to your IG?
Thanks man. Deactivated Instagram they were censoring and limiting engagement to levels of small accounts, so didn’t see the point. Gonna do the same on here soon.

@@420motors I get it. They really take the fun out of it with the algorithm. I used to get 2x the engagement with half the followers.
Yea. It’s so bad I would always consider deleting and starting over.
Do the front bump stops land on top of the spindles or upper a-arm? I couldn’t see a strike pad.
Yea I’ll give a suspension break down soon. No strike pad needed. Was all designed at once so they land perfectly on the upper a arm.
Al yonke 😆 🤣
Lmao
Your truck is a sleeper like RuPaul is in the closet. You aint fooling nobody homie. LOL
Lol. Just an excuse to keep it fancy and road worthy.
