That is a great looking truck! Well thought out and executed! FoMoCo should sponsor your truck thanks to your dedicated replication

Truck looks outstanding! Well done and love the amber in the grill shutters!

Your truck looks great! I went through an absurd number of wheel spacers trying to find the right offset and still retaining steering and articulation (what little this bus has) and ended up on 1.5 if I remember correctly. Also had to, er um, massage the front brake calipers with a flapper wheel...

I did not pull the bumper. It may have been easier to gain access or visibility, but I can't say for sure. Wouldn't be the first time I wasted time and energy avoiding a small inconvenience and creating myself a bigger one.

I don't remember much of use about the hardware other than I matched the factory thread pitch to reuse 1 factory captured but on each tow hook. Length is about 1.5" I think. Rear bolts are about 2.5-3" and I ended up with homemade flag nuts for those. I used press on/clip on door edge trim on...

The skid plate was about $100 if memory serves. Removing the active air damn was pretty easy, taking my time not to overlook something important it was 30-45 minutes. However, fitting the skid plate took me several days with an hour or more here and there. I had to order bolts and nuts as I...

That looks killer! Great work!

Thanks for the kind words! I decided on the raptor skid plate after nothing more than eyeballing the truck and tow hook location along with comparing photos found online, plus I found a cheap skid plate on FB marketplace nearby. I'm confident that it could all be done much easier another way but...

Thanks! And thanks for keeping things similar enough that I could fit the raptor skid plate with relatively minor effort! I usually prefer the look of repurposed premium OEM parts and this is no exception!

It started out as a 22 Raptor skid plate and then I cut and trimmed to make it fit nicely with the lightning.

Still a work in progress but I'm rather pleased with the progress thus far! It has taken more trial and error than I care to admit to get this 2022 Raptor skid plate fitted to the Lightning! The range impact has been substantial but this obviously isn't a direction one takes if seeking to...

The belltech 25001 struts is literally the whole part list. Give Atlantic Built a follow and watch his videos on his work to the lightning. He does a better job explaining the process and his rational better than I can. https://youtube.com/@Atlanticbuilt

I followed the recipe the YouTuber "Atlantic Built" provided. Although his lightning is a few inches lower. So far all I've done is install the belltech 25001 struts in the rear for a 3" drop. The springs don't need much compression for the install so I used a harbor freight single action spring...

First lowered Lightning in Oklahoma (completely speculating and could totally be wrong) Still much more to do but this was a huge change and I love it. New wheels and tires will go on eventually.

Did you ever get a response on this? When I saw the battery target state of charge browsing my own truck I assumed it was the LVB.

It was not fully closed

If I was really going to sell you'd have first dibs but they don't take up much space so I can mentally justify keeping them even if I'll never reuse them. Now once I pull the trigger on new wheels I will definitely be looking to sell my lariat OEM wheels and tires.

I've been wondering what I'm going to do with the letters I pulled off the bed and after seeing your link, selling them at $100 for each set sure looks appealing!

Those are my bedside letters I pulled to ceramic coat the paint. I generally prefer a de-badged look but I think I really like the look here You can still claim credit for having the idea first!
