Thank you. I am about to post up my 10,000km review of it tonight :-)
Looks cool mate
Thank you
Awesome! 🎉
Thanks! 😄
excellent,I'm excited,let it come to me
What’s the address ?
Nice!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Im trying to find the KC roof rack that will fit on the ranger raptor I know that they stopped production, but could you provide me with the part name and number so that I could find a resell. Thanks!
incredible build! send it to Aus ill buy it haha
Haha I can send all the parts to you in Oz 😎
Can u send to Indonesia
Thats sick asf... seen alot in Oz & this is way up there bro...good work.
Can you tell me where you got the ute master load lid , destroyer rails & Baha wheel rack from? I want the same on mine 👌🏽
This is in New Zealand and the lid is the Utemaster lid that you can also buy in AU now. They are not cheap but they are the best lid on the market. Then the Baja rack is a PSR rack made in Au
Cheers mate 👍🏽
Happy days
The only thing Im gonna say is that the running boards are a bad choice for an off-road rig. For one, they hate dirt and debris, after having them for a few years youll find the hinges getting stuck and not working properly. Secondly, they are lower to the ground, so if you're trying to break over a hill or rocks, you could trear them up or could potentially make it easier to get high centered. They are nice for street vehicles but not for something like this. But overall, it's a sick build man.
I guess it all comes down to the brand you buy. I never had an issue with these steps. I loved them. I have since sold this Raptor and I am onto the next build where I will add the same steps onto it
@joeldstirling but how long have you ever owned the steps though??? You need to own them for a few years to get the issues with the hinges to show their ugly face. The truck just doesn't need them either way you cut the cake. It's not a tall enough truck and the factory steps act as a protective shield as well. The only benefit is for looks and that is still subjective. I just don't understand spending so much money to downgrade a component
Hey mate thanks for video link. But you didn’t say what offset the fuel coverts were?
They are 1p
Would you recommend adding the evc throttle controller? Does it make pick up better?
Yes 100% I wouldn’t own a Ranger or Raptor without one. This is my 4th build on 35” wheel and always added one.

Can i see your ditch light bracket and where did you mount it. Thanks
They are the scrub king brackets
Hi. I like what you did with this. What are the specs of the springs you used please?
They are 40mm king springs. Have been amazing
Hi bud. How are you getting round the front radar? “Revers brake assist” faults etc….
Have been great
Hi Joel. I am planning for 35s on mine - was it just the springs changed? Did you do a lift as well? Thanks
I just added the 40mm king springs that don’t push the shock past the bypass valve so it still rides like factory. I also have the extra weight of the front & rear bar as well as the lid. But it all seems to balance out perfectly
@@joeldstirlingDoes it work with 35’s without any lift?
I am not sure sorry. I always add a 40-50mm lift in all my Raptors and it’s been fine
Can you give more details on the side steps, please 🙏🏼
Sure. The price does Include shipping worldwide. But you might need to pay duty / tax when landing into your port if outside of New Zealand.

Hey mate, I’m thinking of getting 35inch tire like your but been told that it will muck up the computer e.g brake assist, adaptive cruise control. What your experience and any issue?
Not at all. This is my 3rd raptor with the same wheels and tyres on them.
any further mods you did to fit that 35s without rugging any thing ? even high speed bump ?
Just the 40mm springs in this with the correct offset wheels 1p and then only 10.5” wide tyres. Handles like factory
@@joeldstirling so 4 x 40mm king springs front and back ?
i don't put much more heavy load onto the stock raptor (only 3 people in the cabin with ~100kg of all stuff on the back of the ute. Does this mod (higher spring with 35s) compromise comfort and handling ? My ride is 50-50 offroad-onroad
Mine are king springs that are bar rated front and back. They still feel like factory to me. I have a lot of weight with the lid on the back and the rear bar.
@@joeldstirling sorry forgot to ask. Did you have to change the control arms (front and rear shocks) ?
Since I noted the stock ones are very very thin and would take much more impact with wider stance than stock (say P1)
No left it all factory
Do you recall what the wheel specs are? Offset?
Fuel covert, 9” wide 17” rim 1p
what about cruise radar sensor? deleted or?
No that’s still working as it should.
How does it have 3500kg towing capacity?
The Option4wd rear bars are tested to 4000kg for their ADR testing. So as long as you were to put a heavier rear spring in or airbags you will be able to tow up to 3.5T the same as the rangers. Of course you will need to get this certified to then be legal.
"How to waste $30,000 and make your car worse"
Let’s see what you drive?
You couldn't afford to do it...key board warriors
You only waste 30k if you couldn’t afford the 30k in the first place in which case you would just have a standard Raptor like 95% of the others on the road. So it’s not all bad what he has said. Just different mindsets and understanding of how life works :-)
Man this dude is so ignorant af!get out of you moms basement dude
Haha right 🫣
