Lots of small custom touches done at Brave. Front lower control arm mounts have been overlayed with .190″ 4130, then added weld washers to all the control arm bolts. Frame area around front suspension has been plated with .190″ 4130. Bed cage and bed supports all built in-house. Shock mounting front to rear has been dialed in to match each other, so we have similar amounts of uptravel at ride height. This makes it fly very nice, and skip right through big whoops without the typical Raptor rearend “kick”.

Mcneil Racing 4″ wider fenders and bedsides. Fiberglass was wrapped by Underground Graphics here in Houston, and somehow almost matches the factory Leadfoot Gray color.

Baja Designs LP6 lights on the front bumper.

Lots of shock tuning by ADS Racing Shocks and Brave Motorsports.
