I just switched from a 2022 801 to a 2025 802 and no regrets. Most people telling you can just replace the tires with big ones, don't take into account the amount of churn you will get into (additional wearing of parts, rubbing, etc) the moment you hit the dirt or more aggressive driving - you...
I just did exactly what you did. Had a 2022 bought with 18k miles and was totaled. Hopped on to a brand new 2025 37” and man everything is so much better. From the cold starting sound with the option to a quiet start, to the updated tech and smoother ride. Nothing to look back to at all!
Now all of that makes sense. Thanks for the context! I’ve just reached out to LVJ on messenger and found myself an installer locally for both the amber lights and radio.
About the radio, I’ve seen the options here but also saw a bunch around 200$ on Amazon vs 400$. Other than VHF 50W, does it have other requirements? Would something like this work?
I appreciate a lot everyone's inputs here! Really helping.
I've decided to go the mounted radio option based on the feedback here. Will grab a handheld additionally if I happen to show up again next year. Will also install the rear ambers.
That's great feedback on the S2 - I was already going...
Makes a lot of sense. As it will be my first year and I'm not even sure if I'll be able to do runs again (although I'd love to), I didn't want to spend a dime more than I needed, so was looking at the cheapest radio options. If yours are within de 150-250$, please send me the options over DM...
Thank you for the thorough answer! Will definitely be getting the kinetic rope and straps then.
About the radio, why do you think a 50W is necessary? Even when riding in groups? Maybe for the possibility of getting lost?
On tires, decided to go with the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T after...
Well, I'm not exactly new but realized better late than never :)
I've purchased the truck of my dreams back in Nov '23 from Schaumburg Ford in Illinois - terrible experience, by the way - as Blue Certified with 19k miles on it.
So far, no mods other than custom wheels and tire (Fuel 20"...
Hello everyone,
Will be joining SnoBall (https://www.runraptorrun.com/events/the-snoball-2025/) in January and now working through the list of prep items. If you can't tell already, I don't have a lot of off-roading experience (Snowshoe, WV/Chillicothe, OH/Serra da Canastra, Brazil). Would love...
