I'm not usually a truck guy, but this one sure did change my mind for a day or so.

I don't claim to be a "truck guy" - in fact, most trucks all look about the same to me - until I saw this one. This truck was in overall good shape. The paint had some scratches and swirls in it, but the owner did not feel a paint correction was needed. It was cleaned up and protected from the elements - looks great!

Unfortunately it started to sprinkle a bit as I was taking the pictures so don't mind the small drops of water on the surface.

Ive always liked those raptors. Especially the orange ones (drool). Were those painted fenders or plastic on that truck?
 
Those Raptors are really amazing trucks. You really made that black paint shine. Thanks for sharing.
 
Well if there's one truck out there today that'll turn non-truck guys into truck guys, the Raptor is definitely the truck that will do it.:xyxthumbs:

That beast looks great and nice pics as usual.:props:

Do you know if the owner will ever drive it the way Raptor's are meant to be driven?

That's always my thought when I see one on the road as well... Kind of like Rubicons these days.

Nice work on the detail! Paint looks great.

HA! your so right Chris.........been a long time GM truck man but I want a Raptor in the worst way!


@OP great Job!
 
The Raptor SVT is an awesome truck and this one looks beautiful. Keep up the great work.
 
I love the wheels! I don't care for the factory Raptor's, but those look awesome! Nice job!
 
headlights and black grill make it look great. I heard the suspension is great and the axle tilts to go from off road to on and vice versa. There is a hennesey tuned one on youtube which also is a beast
 
Great work! The Raptor is for sure an awesome truck. I've got a buddy that owns one and uses it for it's intended purpose, heck, he actually broke something up near the bumper I think coming down from a jump. Didn't affect performance, but that had to be a hit!

-They were like a coated/colored plastic? Hard to explain.

I now like trucks too :laughing:
Great job ZMC!
Thanks!

Nice clean-up. Those are cool trucks.

The owner told me he bought it because he bought a boat... so no, I doubt it will ever be driven the way it should be driven.

That's always my thought when I see one on the road as well... Kind of like Rubicons these days.

Nice work on the detail! Paint looks great.
I just did a Rubicon not too long ago... it belonged to a woman who will definitely never drive it the way a Jeep was meant to be driven!

... I don't think I'd have the balls to take a $50,000+ truck off a jump. Sounds like he is enjoying his toy though!

Great job as usual.
Thank you!
