Turn your Ranger into a F150 Raptor

[ozrunner]

Very clever and they look great. Now the Ranger just needs a Coyote

Is that the same mob out of Thailand that turns regular Jap imports into one off crazy looking Hyper Cars for $30-$60K?

Would be nice to visit their workshop - Even nicer to price up what it would cost to get one done for here - Hyper Car, not the F150.

[Raptor]

Not bad

There is a Ranger a few houses down from me that has almost the same tyre / suspension treatment.

Thing looks like a monster.

Article doesn't say if this kit could fit on any ranger from 2012 and up, or if it only fits on Raptor.

The wheels sticking out obviously means a yellow sticker in Australia, so the owner would need a set of compliant wheels also for re-licensing every time pulled over by cops.

Isn't there a limit for maximum legal increase axle width also now? Not like the old 4x4 modification rules.

Australia the land of rules and regulations, was funny watching The Force and two almost rabid cops trying to measure some poor buggers 4x4 wheel track width and height, and the absolute glee when they caught him.

Pretty sure there is a maximum 25mm per side increase allowed.Might also find the maximum height increase is 75mm which can be done either lift kit or bigger tyres,so if you do a 50mm lift you can only increase tyre height by another 50mm to get the extra 25mm

Looks great, but Ford will likely, and quite rightly, send them a legal notice to cease this due to using their IP.

They’ve been going for years, so I don’t think Ford really cares

When I go back to Thailand I would love to visit their workshop.

Wonder what it would cost to get something done and brought home? You would certainly have something unique at any car show

According to the vid about USD$36,000, don't know if that includes the donor car......then you got to get it home.....

The amount of fabrication involved is phenomenal. Wouldn't include donor car but still, much better looking than most other kit cars and still based on reliable Toyota engineering.

Getting a donor car may also be a problem. Apparently they drive on the left but cars after 2014 must be LHD.

Hmmm older model RHD cars can't be sold to locals. Can be exported I'm sure

For 'Star Wars' fans ? Would Shannons insure it ?
And if you got one back to Australia, the authorities would probably want to crash test it before letting it on the road.
