Everglades + Raptor Hood & Parts

[Joe T]

Did a Raptor hood swap on my Bronco Everglades — perfect fit. The only real adjustment was upgrading to heavier hood struts, which was simple.

I also added Raptor running boards, Raptor grille, Raptor taillights, custom badging, a Ford ProCal tune, 37s, and a 3-inch lift.

No, it’s not a 3.0L Raptor — but it does exactly what I want it to do.

And honestly, I’ve never liked the wide, bulky Raptor fender flares anyway. This gives me the look, stance, and capability I wanted while keeping the cleaner Everglades body lines.

Nice ! Now you need to get the FORD in Evergreen; that will complete the look! Love the gator on the back.

Yes, I painted the grill and could not decide to go with black or Eruption Green for the FORD....

@Joe T : See my avatar. I have mine in white, as I have a white Raptor with the black graphics.

Looks nice, what lift did you use?
Those custom badges on the rear look great.

This build is so awesome. Is that an OEM Raptor grill or a third party? I am thinking about doing a similar grill swap but still looking at options.

Those badges look great. If there's one thing not to love, it's a lone gloss grill on a Bronco that is covered in flat black.

Looks great! Love the alligator! And the fact your attention to detail is all the way down to the hood badging showing EVERGLADES!

Looks great!! I like the squared fenders on the Everglade. I wonder how they would look on a Raptor with the wider stance.

Grill from RPM Bronco. Lot of Raptor style-grills out there. RPM grill was $200. Was not sure the OEM Raptor grill would have been direct fit so went with aftermarket.

Thx!!!! For the tailgate Everglades badge, I worked with AI to create a Raptor-style badge then had it 3D printed thru Etsy. Hood badge and the tailgate gator are billet-aluminum.

Point taken. Discussed flat vs gloss with paint shop and we decided to go with gloss..........
