Already planning on going back and setting the sand up for a bigger jump!!!

Since there were so many dunes, I couldn't get the speed up to have a massive jump.
All these dunes were about 15-20 feet apart which was too short of a distance.
we measured the distance between the jumps and it was about 10'-15'

It was pretty cool. You can see tire marks, then blank for 10-15' and then see em again.

Did they ever fix the frame issue from the factory? I know there's some sort of brace on the market but seems like Ford probably addressed it for newer models.

If my memory serves correct, that problem only affected the early production 2010 models. Rest are good to go...

^ I know... it has a lot of advantages. It's just that the SCAB looks so much meaner. I think the extra length of the SCREW gives it that longer look while the shorter SCAB keeps the beefy look.

Tough call

SCREW All the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Also installed the towing mirrors. Not sure how I feel about them. they are extremely good when it comes to visibility, but they dont look good on the Raptor, like they did on the FX4.

Maybe if you painted parts of them white? I think it looks more utilitarian than the previous ones.

And @ the tags.

Was at the Auto Show this past weekend and they had a SCREW on the floor. Man, that is one big... bad-ass truck. May have flip-flopped me in the other direction!

So if we say an average of $4/gal, you've spent $4k in gas in the five months you've had the Raptor.
