Resale value will be junk. College student in FL bought a used EV, paid $ 11k for it, in 6 months she was told the batteries need to be replaced, $ 14K including the disposal fee. Like buying an IC car with 350,000 miles, it will cost you.

My parts came in and it is scheduled for next week. They said 2 day job.

I like going from Potash and then go up. It is a steep climb and I generally do it in 4 low to help out, but you really don't need to. I only do it for control and because it is easier on the transmission. If you come down you will need to use a lot of brake. Don't forget to stop and look...

Shafer trail goes from Potash into Canyonlands National Park and then up the switch backs to the upper road (or you can do it in reverse). It ends on the paved road just inside the National Park gate. It is a Raptor friendly trail and very scenic.

Bunman is being too modest. His knowledge of Starf**cks is way over the top. :) But he also know his trails!

Nope. But the Raptor runs well on 91. I am getting 92 in the PNW and don't notice the difference.

With flat tow kit installed.

Add bolt on bumper, stock intercooler.

And the red complements your lipstick. :cool:o_O

I don't drink coffee, so I have time to air down. :cool: I am a stickler for pressure. I found the Staun would be at 17 one time and 13 another. I use a digital gauge and so I get exactly what pressure I want. There is a difference in off road performance between 17 and 13. On my side by...

I use this. Put them on all 4, go back to the first one with a gauge that can also deflate and deflate it down to the desired PSI and then go around the truck. That way you can deflate all 4 in just a little longer than it takes to deflate one. I used to use the ones that you can set...

I have done 12 psi on my truck without bead locks. Stock wheels and tires. No problem.

On a side note, at least on Gen 2, when you downshift manually (with the paddles or button) the computer rev matches which doesn't help if you are downshifting for engine braking. But if you delete gears there is no rev matching.

RIP.

I relocated my sensor (ADD bumper) and had some issues with it at first (not adjusted up and down correctly). You can override it by giving it some throttle. If you turn the wheel it knows it, so avoiding something would not be a problem.

I noticed this early on as well. My 6.1 Hemi Jeep has a LOT of engine braking, but the Raptor not so much. I think it is normal. 4 Low does help on the trail.

Took it back to the beach to play in the sand. Different beach than the other day, just south of Florence, OR. Pretty good climb in soft sand up a steep berm to get off the beach. Raptor did fine. Did not rescue the tree.

Lockers lock the differential so that both tires (right and left) on that axle turn together. Without out a locker, the tire with the least resistance will spin and the other tire will not move. (One wheel drive) Below is a long read and I have posted it before, but I think it explains tires...

I would use 4wd Low with lockers on to spread the load across the truck.

I love it when you see wildlife. :cool:

Helium for water crossings, and to lighten the truck.

It was hard packed near the water, but getting there from the parking lot was really soft. I do go overboard, as I do not want to be embarrassed by getting stuck. I have a reputation to keep up. :):cool:

Don't say that. Now John will beat his wife for not doing that. Come on man! :eek: She is a nice lady.

Took it to the beach to play in the sand just north of Coos Bay, OR. Yes I aired down, yes it handled the sand great.

65?!? Don't be such a wimp, try 80psi, you will get a great "feel of the road". :cool:
