[chopperbobby]

If you like them . . .

What is your definition of "safe 4-wheeling"? (Your comment implies the Raptor is not set up for safe 4-wheeling?)

OP, you’ll learn this is the last place to ask for opinions. Everyone has one, and they almost all stink! It’s your ride, if you like it that’s all that matters! A lot of people on here act like Bill Stroppe and they haven’t even been on a fire road.

I will admit, the comments can be pretty funny

This is my 2nd time with this combination--Weld 440 wheels and SIX
37X12.5R20 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3

I'm slowly gathering stuff to make it ready and able to do some safe 4-wheeling.

20s ruin it for me, but as long as you like it.

Looks great.

I think it looks great! Too many of us (me included) default to the conventional standard, instead of doing something unique. I will probably rethink my choices at some point…

Looks great.

TYVM.

I think the 20" wheels work much better with the proportions of the Raptor and 37" tires than they would with a regular Bronco. Plus, the sidewall height of the 37s on 20s is essentially the same as the 315/70/17s.
If it works for your use case and what you like then have at it.
I will say that at first I was a no on the wheels, but after looking back at the pictures they've grown on me, and I think the color and design match well with the Raptors graphics and overall appearance.

I thought your comment was funny because it sounds like everyone is entitled to an opinion....as long as it is in alignment with your own! Otherwise, it stinks!

OP, if you had told me you were going to do this, I would have been very skeptical and cautioned against it. Seeing the final product, I'm surprisingly pleased with that look. It fits well with the other Raptor scale bits. I see those tires are LR F, too. So the side walls might be super stiff and help protect the wheels from rock strikes at the cost of some traction enhancing deformation. How does it ride on the road?

TY, that's what I thought.

A little less bouncy (as in driving around on soft balloons).. While driving on roads, my damper setting is Sport.

Looks like fun. As for storage, check out Harbor Freight’s Bauer modular boxes. I used a small stacked on large combo. Works well and only takes up about a quarter of the floor space.

Be reasonable. Agree with me!

damn this is a cruel group...
It's sick

I am a proud 2-door Bronco owner who just recently purchased a 4-door Raptor… albeit a slightly different variant:

I ordered and paid extra for the graphics because I liked them contrary to what @not on the rug likes. He has his opinions, and I have mine, and that is a good thing. Trying to get acceptance and/or likes from the masses is a waste of human time. Do you and enjoy it.
I respect different opinions, because like I have said, car shows would be boring if we all had the same taste.
