Beautiful ute for videos and photos

[@michaelnacevski]

Awesome truck bro I picked mine up last week love it . Great work ..

[@Wintersgarage_]

Thanks mate! they are killer, love mine!

[@joedonaghue2952]

Fabulous Fabrications makes a really clean looking snorkel and air-filter box

[@Wintersgarage_]

They do some killer gear ! But I really want to do something unique with this Ute and will seek a custom route.

[@wp7576]

Thing is sick!

[@Wintersgarage_]

Thank you 🤝🏽

[@lord7th207]

Fuck yeah I just got a second hand first gen raptor and your setup is exactly what I want, looks like frontrunner roof rack is what I’ll be going

[@Wintersgarage_]

I love it mate ! They make so many Bits too

[@kopan14]

found this ute on Insta, thanks for the sharing of this sick build, please do more vids on this

[@Wintersgarage_]

Plenty more coming my friend 🥳

[@steveb8883]

Great truck build so far! We have a 2 door Bronco Wildtrak and 4 door Bronco Wildtrak now that we camp and wheel with. I am planning on trading the 2 door for a Ranger Raptor in about a year. They just came out in the US. I want to wait for the gear to catch up a little. I will be watching your build to get ideas.

[@Wintersgarage_]

Thanks mate ! Damn; I wish we got the broncos here ! They are awesome! I can’t wait to see all the aftermarket goodies you guys come up with ! Going to be epic ! Thanks mate 🥳🥳🥳 only going to get better

[@steveb8883]

The Bronco is headed to Europe soon. Maybe they will end up down there also. @@Wintersgarage_

[@A-RSpeed]

Great review! Beautiful truck. Is it just a 1 inch front and 1 inch rear lift? Any rubbing when you had the +1 offset wheels?

[@Wintersgarage_]

Thanks mate ! 25mm spacer in the front + 40-50mm springs - when we measured it, it was 3.5” in the front 25mm springs in the rear but actually Worked out to measure 2” over standard Yes, with the +1’s rubbed on the very inside had to remove the mud flaps and trim a small piece of plastic.

[@yveslacaze5212]

hello in france , splendid👌❤❤❤❤❤

[@seanviper99]

I love these setup as I see them all around austraila but how badly does it effect the fuel range with all the bells and wistles

[@Wintersgarage_]

They aren’t a fuel efficient vehicle from the start, if you are looking for fuel Efficient probably best to go the diesel Versions !

[@ttecsolar2846]

Mate great video. Cant wait for the next one. Have you got any links of the gear you had added, wheels, rims, coils, light bar etc would be great

[@Wintersgarage_]

Hey mate, sure do! a quick google will get you everything you need and maybe cheaper in your area compared to mine! Wheels are ROH Raid 17x9 + 35 offset Falken wildpeak 315/70/17 Coils are 40-50mm springs in the front and I've just added Caloff road springs into the rear they are 25mm but measured at just under a 2" lift Light bar behind the grill is from Altiq, their 32" double row model and the lightbar on the roof is a terralume single row 40" light bar, i did have to modify the rack to make it fit.

[@deanadams7198]

Did you buy a mount kit to mount the light bar or just made it work ?

[@Wintersgarage_]

It’s all a kit mate from Altiq! I’ll get you the link altiq.com.au/products/next-gen-raptor-32-light-bar-kit

[@juanmanuelvivas6299]

do you recommend those mats over the Ford Factory ones? by the way which is the brand/model of the mats you have?

[@Wintersgarage_]

I love them mate, been awesome when I’ve been heading out 4x4’ing & especially on the sand, been so easy to clean !

[@smittysmitty481]

Epic!!

[@andrewfehrsen]

Have a look at the Hamer Guardian and Hamer Nova front and rear for the Raptor mate

[@Wintersgarage_]

I’m looking for something more Baja spec !

[@ericlaroza2485]

Does Ford void your warranty on suspension when modified (including upgrading to 37's)?

[@Wintersgarage_]

If something was to go wrong with the suspension or gearbox broke - yep, would have to be something proven to be directly affecting the problem at hand.

[@snappytom68]

Try Thailand, they have some wicked after market bumpers and dress up.

[@Wintersgarage_]

They do have some wicked gear over there ! Hoping someone does some Baja/pre-runner style stuff over here.

[@Vito_Caligiuri]

Is the craftsmanship actually good?

[@iash90]

Nice

[@Wintersgarage_]

Thanks mate 🤝🏽

[@davlex94]

Hey, how did you remove the silver lip on the front bumper. I want to paint mine black as well. 0:39

[@Wintersgarage_]

It’s a super easy process ! Just clips and screws - I should make a little video on it as I need to repaint mine.

[@rebelrob9637]

My raptor has been at ford for 4 weeks now, went on a tow truck. Powertrain fault. Some major issues going on. No idea how long it will be with ford but they said, don't expect to see it for a while.

[@seanviper99]

Is that a common issue

[@rebelrob9637]

@@seanviper99 it's hard to say because Ford are keeping tight lipped on what exactly is wrong with it for some reason.

Wow ! Thats crazy ! I’m yet to have a problem now just hitting 40,000kms

You can’t get GVM upgrades for the next gen raptor right?

[@Wintersgarage_]

Not that I’ve seen, I’ve read things but nothing yet.

[@jeffrd]

Is there a lift kit installed at all? Or is it just the height of the 35’s?

[@Wintersgarage_]

Yes mate, has been lifted !

[@willemvantsant1786]

hey mate do u rate the roof top tent and tub rack ?

[@Wintersgarage_]

Yeah man ! It was good, just changed setups now but yeah it was great !

[@Mikey_talariabuild]

Hey mate sick raptor I got one my self just wondering how you blocked the bov to make that hectic sound😂

[@Wintersgarage_]

Just get a plate or block off cap and block the intercooler recirculation pipe and you’ll be sweet

[@Mikey_talariabuild]

@@Wintersgarage_ is it possible you could send me a photo on where you plug the pipe that is plugged in the back of it where do I put that

[@iziyadm3105]

For roof rack, how it installed? is there a place to fit in the rood or you should drill a hole ?

[@Wintersgarage_]

There is holes already, but you do need to drill holes through the plastic spacers to suit.

Please if you are reading this comment, do NOT buy a FORD vehicle! any VEHICLE! I got a 2024 FORD RANGER RAPTOR fi 80 thousand dollars, turns out it has an inherent vibration that the company says is normal for this car. If you speak with the customer service they are the worst in the world! please save your money and buy something else, I lost 13k USD to sell it back, and now im in the process of getting a RAM 1500 Limited instead. Please save your money and don't do my mistake and look for a company that respects and cares for the customers instead of money and wealth.
