Toolin around the ranch

Me and Black Mama on the back half of the course in TX. I don't know if you can tell from inside the truck but RPG's Stage 4+ with UCA's transforms this thing into a bump-swallowing beast.

I threw this one up because it's where we cleared the road (15:50) and launched it off the steep hill climb (26:25). Course had gotten pretty beat up by this point and I high centered in a couple ruts- you can see the dirt coming over the hood...

It says the video is private

Having trouble viewing it

Dammit. Fixed now.

Rich, it was great getting to meet you in person. We hadgood time running with you on that little night run. Thanks for the tip on the hill climb yuo mentioned above. Raptorwifey and I launched at the same spot. And like in your video, the stage 4 provided a steady and sure landing.

Looking forward to the next run with yeah. Maybe Little Sahara??

Joe, I met alot of good people last weekend but you and Nicole truly stood out. You guys always made me feel welcome at your campsite, offered the use of your shower, fed me some amazing food, and thought to invite me to join you guys on the night run. The word "selfless" comes to mind when I think of you two.
You guys are a rare breed and I'm honored to have gotten to hang out with both of you.

We normally don't agree on much, Rich.. You completely nailed that last post. Joe and Nichole are truly amazing people, and it is not just at TRR. Every event/gathering I have been at with them, they always go the extra mile. They are the very definition of what FRF member and friend should be like.

Here is a good example.. Joe was feeling like crap and could not make it around one 43 mile lap. So he came back to camp pale as a ghost, puking his guts up. Did he lay down and rest in his camper. No, he unloaded a heavy ass smoker, got everything ready for dinner and greeted everyone that came by.

They are truly amazing people just like all the FRF members. I am proud to call them my friends/family

you can definitely tell the difference. If I ever get to upgrade on shocks I know what I want. never happen but you never know. I'm going to have to watch this on next winter long but cool video. I'm glad I got to see the jump over the hill x3 and you took my hill out back at 50 and to think I took it at 65 what was I thinking lol. It lands so smooth tho. great video my son though it was cool to. we'll see if a few have time to hit it on there way back from sdbr and if I don't make it some better pleas. It keeps blizzarding. I like watching your video's you drive

Aww geez guys... my cheeks are blushed hello kitty pink, lol...

We are glad everyone had a fun time. That first day was rough, I was driving and had a hard time making it around the first part of the course without feeling sick. Never made the second half til the next day.

For those that where not there, the jump across the road Rich is referring to is pretty brutal.
it is a double caution at the 16 minute mark. The track had a short steep climb to cross a main ranch gravel road, then another steep decline on the other side. Similar to a rail road crossing but much more brutal. I always slow way down for this one, and scrap the belly of the truck as I crest to the gravel road. Not Madcow, he guns it and jumps the road like dukes of hazards. The video looks nice and smooth because he hit it just right and the RPG stage 4 soaked up the landing.

I'll find that section of video from my run and post it. Then you will see how mad Madcow is, lol...

Rich, again it was a pleasure. Your welcome at the Yukon and RW ranch anytime.

Greg and Brandi, you guys are always welcome too. Don't forget the coffee pot, lol...

It's something about joe that you can assume no matter where your at, he'll be up for or organizing a night run.

But then again that's how us night raptors roll
