So let’s get into this GEN1 ”DogCatcher” Raptor build!
The truck started off as a very high mileage 2011 Ford 6.2L Raptor with 120k miles. High mileage isn’t a problem as long as you choose wisely. The 2 signs that this was a good one. It had a Shriner badge on the tailgate and those plastic air deflectors(ventshades) over the side windows. Definitely owned by an older gentleman👍🏽 It ran good but needed some routine long term maintenance. We did brakes, wheel bearings, new front half shafts, U-joints and serviced the rear diff.
On the rear we fit custom made @deaver_suspension_inc leaf springs and King Shocks. On the front King coil overs & Kibbetech upper control arms. Wheels are Method billet 17.00” bead locks with proper TOYO 37” rubber.
Tig welded Front bumper from Aftermarket HQ. Powdercoat by High Point PC. The factory grill was fitted with some left over KC pro lights mounted to a bracket from Kibbetech. The back got a color matched Snugtop commercial cap with ladder(surfboard) rack. I put some leftover Baja Designs lights on the back to cure tailgating. The flush fit Rear bumper is from Mazzula Offroad. Rear spare rack from Wilco. Bed was Line-X’ed and fit with Builtright bed rack system and a shovel from Shoveltec. They body had a few minor bumps and dings. Those were fixed and Sprayed with some fresh Sherwin-Williams paint. Fender flares and SVT grills got the Line-X treatment. Out back is a Borla Stainless cat back system that Chad sprinkled some Booty Quake sugar on. The Proof that if you have Awesome shop guys and choose quality parts. I jumped in this truck the morning after it was finished and bombed 2000 miles to Rhode Island without a hitch! Once in Rhode Island I took it to my buddy’s at Tasca Ford and had them install a Whipple Charger and intercooler and a tune. Then jumbled in and jammed back to Texas. The Whipple Charger made a big difference. 80-85mph all the way home. Cruising RPM lowered about 400rpm and no more down shifts every time you hit a hill. Best thing is it got about a 1/2 mile better gas mileage. Digging the step back to a GEN1. **Make sure you tap on the pics and follow all the tagged manufacturers👍🏽***

marine_brat_1975 Sweet Ride, and proof that a person doesn't have to start with something brand new, and can find plenty of cool stuff to make it their own at swap meets. My wife and I love going to them, picking up some part or odd items, and seeing what we can do with them, to customize our bikes.

iceman17a Great looking build....I just installed a Leer cap on my 2012 Raptor Super cab and have been thinking about a rack for on top the cap. Wasn't sure how it would look. Thanks for posting the pics., it lets me know it would look good on it..... 👍🇺🇸

briancfh Damn man this thing is Dope. Take mine and transform it next. 🤣 @builtrightind your racks look great on this killer build. #nowineedathirdjobtotransformmygen1 #everythingjessejamesbuildsistopnotch

williambethards I had no idea this is the truck you were driving when you said you were driving back home from Rhode Island that truck is Bad to the Bone. And thanks for educating me on Whipple Chargers

noturboz 120,000 miles is high mileage? Average in texas is 12,000 miles a year and that only did 13,300 miles a year if it was sold in 2010 like most 2011 models

israel.montemayor @popeofwelding glad I’m not the only one who says swap meet. My kids look at me like an idiot. They say it’s a flea market lol
