gimbal. The stabilization device is called a gimbal.

If you screw it up properly, you'll go 300-400 miles without being anywhere close to a gas station in certain sections of Baja. I have never seen a 7/11 in Baja. Usually, it's an Oxxo and they don't normally have gas pumps. If you want to make an EV work to go offroading south of the border...

those suspension travel numbers are for 35s. The package with 37s is 13"/14" respectively. My SVC mid-travel equipped truck cycles 17.5" front and 22" rear. So, tell me... 13 = 17.5 and 14 = 22 right? Not to mention, The shock package on a mid-travel truck DESTROYS what comes on a...

yes, you can fit at least 4 in the bed. no mods required.

if you REALLY want to make the shopping trip funny, buy: a tarp ( handy if you don't want to get caked in sand/dirt) Shovel ( in the event you need to dig yourself out) shop towels grime boss wipes sawzall blades nitrile gloves along with the zip ties, duct tape and hose clamps. My...

beyond everything else that was mentioned. a garmin inReach, especially if you are choosing to roll solo. Zip ties. ( the biggest ones that they have at home depot) Duct tape. Various sizes of hose clamps. at least, that's what I end up "lending" to folks the most.

I'd love to see this for no other reason than to thumb the nose at the TRX easter eggs showing a Trex next to a Raptor... Oh a T-Rex? how cute. I have... under my hood. suck it dodge.

an FPC would be a hilariously bad choice for a heavy offroad truck. Even the racecar versions of the gt350 were CPC. Turbos? okay, but not ideal for a desert truck V8 either. an FPC motor would be the least reliable option and it would make it a complete SLUG out of the hole.

a pair of turbos and a slap on the ass will get ya about 1026HP on pump gas.

why, whatever do you mean? I feel right at home here.

perhaps once I get myself relocated later this year. Unfortunately, Louisiana doesn't really have terrain that is up to even getting my shocks warm, so it probably wouldn't be that interesting. Plus, I'd need party pals with different suspension setups to show the differences.

I've already patented my retrofit version of the "trombone exhaust" for Gen2 trucks. I call it "the butt trumpet". I'll start taking preorders next week. :angels2:

i just need ford to build a motor that is good for banging off the rev limiter for hours at a time. is that too much to ask? :D

I am not. I'll be on a run to Baja Sur and somewhere south of Loreto on may 21st.

You ever enjoy the look on someone's face when they're driving a linked truck and you blow past them on leaf springs? All it takes is tuning. Leaf springs are more durable and less maintenance. If you tune the suspension properly, they arent a disadvantage. the 5 link will be easier for a...

I think you'll find if you look closer, there is much less "bucking". The linked rear is also going to put power down way better and help with control int he rough stuff. you'll be able to settle the rear with throttle inputs much easier in the gen3 trucks. you have to drive a gen2 differently...

the only reason that I'd buy one is if I decide to back half and motor swap my gen2. I'll need something to drive while the gen2 is under the knife. Plus, I think it would be fun to experience baja in a stock truck again.

they listed it as "an offroad hitch" in the press releases.

i'd expect that the production numbers will look a lot like the 2016 GT350s.

all i'll say is, try doing what they did in the video, just in your gen2. ( the rear will feel like it is on a pogo stick) Much like the s550 mustangs, it looks like ford spent a TON of time on the vehicle dynamics. i didn't see any bucking and the rear of the truck looks VASTLY improved...

surprise, someone already did this project (Bob Lutz), its called the fiskar karma. started as electric cars, revived as v8 cars called the destino.

me? I don't have much of a "bed" left.

I have been to baja with that truck ( used to belong to a friend of mine.). Welcome!

They are wider than stock f-150s. As long as the center section is good, a re-tube isn't that bad. if the brakes are good, a replacement from currie will run you around 4 grand USD. I'm interested in following your adventure. good luck!
