Take-aways from the Texas Raptor Run

CAbimmer · Apr 15, 2012

Treypal is a total rock star, this was a killer event and I look forward to many more.

Always run with your windows up and your Air on closed loop

Plan to spend at least 4 hours cleaning the truck when you get home

If you have lots of money, run as fast as you want. (others need to drive a little slower

Bring 60pmh tent stakes

For those of you that ran the first session with your windows down, if your AC seats dont work, there is a round filter under your seats, they need to be cleaned.

When you have paper tags on your Raptor because you just bought it, you get to hear a lot of people talking about you at dinner.

I think I found a new adiction.

Midnight run - 3 hour drive around ranch, 22 degree uphill and down hill sections, tight utv trails,and over all kick ass time..

Bbq dinner - well worth the money! Not catered, trey and gang prepared everything.

Turn your headrest around while wearing helmet.

Ratchet straps are NOT enough to secure loose items in the bed.

Roll up windows when visiting the barn to avoid camel foaming slobber.

Talk to ranch owners and manager.. They are awesome individuals. Just watch out for the 4 year old driving the razer around barn..

Long horns do not like black trucks.

Wash/hose truck off before leaving ranch.. There is NOT a carwash around for 40 miles..

Use the radios (vhf, frs, etc)

Get an offroad gps and learn how to use it. There is no second giessong course when wind/animals/class 1 knocks down markers.

One *******/shower for men.. Dont eat mexican and do a mad dash because it will be occupied..

Haha...ya, I passed something that resembled a Raptor on my way back from Dallas. It was covered with dirt from top to bottom.

Berm puddles kick ass and seem like a great idea until sunday afternoon.

The expensive radio I bought was next to worthless

When your co-driver says double down! he does not mean speed up or risk it all, he actually is telling you of impending doom

(yep, that ADD skid plate saved my truck, may it rest in peace)

Of all the things I have done in my life, getting all 4 wheels in the air in that awesome truck is now on my top 10 list.

Bison like white trucks

interesting even if you put your head rest all the way back they are adjustable up down front back

If you didn't dent the skid plate you weren't having fun! Jk
roll the windows up BEFORE the mud, including sunroof
If you have a bright freaking LED pole on your truck everyone will know who you are, especially of you hock the truck every chance you get!
Turns out buffalo will take their sweet time moving out of the way
