Did I Just Transform My Ford F-150 4x4 Into a Budget Raptor For $1,600?

In this video, Andre takes his Ford F-150 Powerboost off-road with a new set of BFG K02 34" tires! See how it compares to the same truck on stock tires.

This is such a more relatable video.
Most of us buy the lower trim trucks because of the cost savings and most of us can't throw $5-10k on the high end lifts and tires because of family's and/or other more important bills.

Kudos to Andre for putting his personal truck through this all the time for us...and him

The dramatic suspenseful music starting at 16:05 is hilarious.

Andre is by far the awesomest guy on the show, and nice set up man!!

[nlken]

This show's why you don't need to spend 10K extra on the TRD pro, Tremor or rebel. Spend it on a small lift, shock's and better tire's and you still can go anywhere the other's will go.

Just an FYI for anyone doing the same mods. The Bilstein 5100 front struts cost about $250, they give you up to 2.1" lift, and you gain about 1" additional travel. They are also valved for a heavier tire. The lift spacers don't give any extra travel. They just move the strut down.

I love basic trim trucks. Now can someone explain to me why Ford had to go through all that engineering to design that silly fold away shifter in the high end models just to use that center console as a table when they already had the column shifter available for use like what's on Andre's truck? Plus with the column shifter, you free up space in the center console. Plus column shifters are cool and belong in pickups!

Andre I have a video idea suggestion. Test out the MPG difference with and without the air dam. I’d love to see that piece of plastic go!

[bobdennis]

This is more of a Rattler build than a Raptor build.

Andre, if you want a more permanent solution for the transmission cardboard "skid plate", the Raptor transmission skid plate is metal and bolts right up. Talk with the parts counter at your Ford dealer and they can get you setup.

Love it, practical, capable, useful, better than expected. Can't hardly beat that. I'm impressed.

I have an F150 XLT 5.4 Triton that I have owned for over 15 years with 2in leveling kit and 34in (295/70/17) MTs and it allows me to drive all over mountain roads exploring in the PNW.

I also did the 34" tire upgrade to my F150, only I used the Fox 2.0 level kit. I would humbly suggest you keep saving your pennies for a shock upgrade as I think you'll be very happy with the ride improvement. And don't worry about that cover underneath, mine did the same thing.

We need more videos with Andre and his truck. This is the kind of truck that I can afford. Thanks for doing this Andre!

[JZm]

Probably the best f150 offroad/onroad set up for the money. Great video as well, loved being able to compare to the last video on that trail. 👍🏻

[Danzilly]

Andre thanks for showing what you can do on a budget! You have a generator and a offroad machine all in one! Would be a awesome camper truck!

[herewegofans]

10:10 NAIL BITER! I was tense too just watching, lmao. Great stuff. The short is, tires and higher and let er eat. Nice run.

[vernonbennettiii]

Andre, get some real bash plates and rocksliders for your truck, and remove that front chin spoiler and install some real bash plate protection up front. You'll be good to go!

[cwescapexltx]

"She'll be better at it the second time" - LOL i would have said the same. Nice one Alex! :)

[Stuka]

I really dig the look with the stock steelies. Don't forget to have your ECU updated for the tire size change (You may have mentioned it and I just missed it).
