We are known as mustang guys.

We've been doing that for 20 years now.

We want to prove to people that our vehicles are completely drivable but you can also have

a hell of a lot of fun on a track.

So there are some first on this truck, we did a lot of work on this rear roll pan to

do away with the bumper.

We custom built a trailer hitch and it's going to come right here behind the license plate.

This is where the receiver hitch will go in and the plug right here for the electric.

Basically, this thing sits right here like this.

So when we're not pulling a trailer, we close up that license plate door and everything

is concealed, you won't even know that's it's capable of pulling a trailer.

This is our rear cross member and watch link bracket.

Basically what a watch link does, it keeps the rear end perfectly centered under the

chassis.

It won't allow any side to side movement.

And then we've got the magic right here, is the torque arm.

It's a very effective way to get the power to the ground and make the brakes work better.

So one thing we've done is we've taken the battery out of the engine bay and moved it

back there on the frame rail to get it out of the way and clean the engine bay up.

We put it down here where it's safe, uh, easy to get in and out but most people will never

even see it or notice.

In the interior here, obviously one of the biggest features in the truck is going to

be these Recaro seats.

They sit beautifully, they sit perfect height.

Again, you know, we're going with a 6-speed so we've got the shifter ring cut there.

This is the hood.

We didn't actually have a good hood.

I was fortunate and found an NOS hood.

Its been put in body work, its been put in first prime - next step is to get this final

blocked and final primer and then we'll be off to paint with this thing.

We had to replace the bed floor, because it was all rusted and beat to crap.

So we actually used the later model bed and converted it, did a lot of things to make

it fit.

We took the fuel tank out of the cab and moved it to the rear.

So we wanted to be able to use the bed, I didn't want to have a piece of plywood in

there and have to have a hole in the center of the bed I get to lift the center of the

bed to put fuel in so we came up with this cool little thing.

When it's done, this will all be painted the same color but you just give this a little

twist, pops up, there's your fuel pour.

SEMA Battle of the Buidlers - it's the best of the best, bringing out the best.

It's judged by the other competitors so it's not some guys that have no idea what kind

of equity you have in these vehicles.

And that to me, it pretty important.

You know to win the SEMA Battle of the Builders would be amazing.

It would be an honor and I would be extremely tickled just to make the top 12.

Umm, this is a tough tough competitive group of guys that are out there.

This is the best of the best, so to make the top 12 would be awesome.

Lifts & Levels: 2017 Ford F350, 2- 2 1/2 inch ProRyde Leveling Kit - Duration: 2:37.

- You want to be serious?

That's not serious.

Hey guys, Brad here with custom offsets.

Got another episode with some levels.

This one's going to be a leveling kit,

on a 2017 F-350 here.

(rap music)

(rap music)

This one is going to be the

adjustable ProRyde leveling kit,

two to two and a half inches,

and as you can see here

what it is is,

it's not a top coil spring spacer,

but rather it's a lower coil spring spacer.

So what you do basically is

you unbolt the factory lower bucket here,

and then you put in this new block underneath,

and then bolt it all back together again

with the new supplies and hardware.

And everything like that.

And these are adjustable like I said.

From two to two and a half

if you add this extra piece here.

That gives you another half inch,

so this will actually be two and a half inches

of lift up front.

Anyway they also give you

these shock extender brackets here

which is nice as well,

so you can reuse the factory shocks

without having to buy longer ones.

And that's pretty much it on this kit.

They're pretty simple.

Like I said this is going to be the ProRyde kit,

which we sell on our site here.

It's actually a really popular kit.

Made in America, nice quality piece.

And that's pretty much it.

We're going to have some other videos

of this thing once it's all done,

and we got the new wheels and tires on it,

and back on the ground

so you can check out what it looks like,

on the ground as opposed to up in the air.

But yeah that's going to be it.

Two inch ProRyde,

or two to two-and-a-half inch

ProRyde leveling kit

for coil sprung Super Duties,

so I believe it's '05 and up.

This one is gonna be on the 2017,

but yep that's about it for now, peace.

2010-2014 F150 Modern Billet Carbon Fiber Front Grille FORD Letter Set Raptor Review & Install - Duration: 3:11.

Modern Billet's front grille Ford letter set in carbon fiber is a great option for any

of my 2010 through 2014 SVT Raptor owners out there that are looking for a relatively

inexpensive appearance or styling modification that's gonna help bring out the best to your

Raptor's already aggressive front end.

It's gonna install in a matter of minutes, and for that, it is gonna be grabbing an extremely

easy one-out-of-three wrenches on our difficulty meter here.

About a 10- to 15-minute job.

I'm gonna show you how, coming up soon.

So, your SVT Raptor looks great on its own.

It's wide, it's menacing, and it's got a face that any mother could love, so why would you

wanna bother adding something like this kit to your front end?

Well, first and foremost, your front end is hitting absolutely everything in sight, be

it sand in the desert, trees and brush on the trails, or just picking up bugs and stones

on the road around town.

Your Ford letters might be a little bit tired or worn-out looking from years of abuse.

With the Ford letter set, you're getting 304 stainless steel that's wrapped in carbon fiber,

which is gonna help make your front end that much more of a focal point and more prominent,

but it's not something that looks tacky because it has a really subdued styling.

Additionally, I think they actually compliment and offset some of the other silver accents

around your truck, but mainly your skid plate up front, but the color matches pretty well

with your factory wheels.

I think these are a really nice alternative to doing something like a full grille swap

because you lose the letters up front, and if you did want to get into a grille down

the road or just change up the look, because we all have a tendency to do so, these aren't

permanent at all.

Looking at the construction here, guys, we are going to see that this U.S.-made kit is

manufactured from 100% 304 stainless steel that's then completed in a carbon fiber wrap.

This makes this a great contender, in my opinion, to cover up service imperfections or damage,

and your factory letters will still be able to take a beating on- or off-road.

In terms of the pricing meter, guys, expect to be spending about 180 bucks to get these

onto your truck, which isn't all that bad considering that there are other options out

there that can get close to around 800 bucks, but that's gonna be a full grille with the

letters being deleted and then replaced with a long Raptor logo spelled out.

On the other hand here, if the carbon fiber look just isn't your thing, we do have these

back on the website in a brushed stainless look for a few dollars less.

Just make sure to check those out, as well.

Switching gears to the installation portion of the video, just like I had said up top,

guys, this is going to warrant an extremely easy one-out-of-three wrenches on the difficulty

meter here, about a 10- to 15-minute job, because this is a peel-and-stick operation.

So, before you get these onto your truck, you're gonna want to clean your existing letters

and make sure they're free of any type of grease or road grime.

And once they're cleaned off, take some of the supplied adhesive promoter and run that

over your factory letters, peel the backing off of your new ones, get them in place, give

them a solid push, and then you're good to go.

So, that's gonna wrap up my quick review and breakdown of Modern Billet's carbon fiber

wrapped Ford letter set, fitting the 2010 through 2014 Raptor, that can be found right

here at americantrucks.com.
