ah forgot two things. These are really more things to be aware of, because they do cause issues. If you upgrade your intake, no oiled filters. ( they turn into impermeable cardboard instantly). Bring a spare air filter JIC. the stock intake works just fine, as do paper filters. My personal...

mag mounts don't work on Gen2s bc aluminum. Get the antenna mount from PCI that sandwiches behind the 3rd brakelight. It is solid, easy to mount and makes everything work as it should. Wire direct to the battery to minimize noise. you most likely wont need a signal filter. Most will mount...

mcneil will. :)

I'll be clear: some mega-built raptor is 150% NOT required. We have folks bring stock trucks on a regular basis. one of the regulars has been mobbing a stock roush raptor on 35s on every trip for the past few years. please don't be intimidated by the trucks that show in the videos ( including...

Exo Overland runs are designed to be a slower pace. It is a mix of beach camping and hotel stays, without quite as many miles as the prerunner runs cover.

I think yall will find that the logistics are daunting, crossing ranches needs to be negotiated, you better be up on your Mexico etiquette, finding good places to stay isn't easy, not all routes are created equal, fuel stops need to be planned and I sincerely hope that you're fluent in Spanish...

pci or die. I have had nothing but the best customer service and positive equipment experience with PCI. 110w or bust. It is shocking how quickly a 50w runs out of tx in baja. I'm able to Tx from the sweep truck and have the lead truck hear me clearly. If the lead truck is running 50w, I...

For as hard as it was to get 40s working on a gen2, I'm going to go ahead and just say it... Just plan on a one-piece front end if you want 40s to fit on a gen3. people will try. it will be expensive. I think I'm just gonna stick with my horse, and if I want it to look like a gen3, I'll...

yeah, problem is, real 40s are 4.5" taller than most 37s. ask me how I know. :D

I should have rebuilt them after about 10K, but I tried to get an extra trip out of them and got a pretty bad leak on the subsequent trip. SVC will do the shock tuning for you. Hell, they drove from lake forest out to JV just to tune my truck for about an hour. Its just something that you need...

yeah, running 37s will be more about the fender shape and liner shape, less about the steering components. It would be slick if Ford took a page out of the FCA playbook ( a la Demon) for the Raptor R and sold the trucks with 35s, but offered 37s in a "crate" for $1. I'd think that it would...

What are your decision criteria? What kind of driver are you? aggressive? whoops? lots of jumping? Do you usually go anyplace that requires really tight turning radius? What are your plans for wheels/tires/brakes/cage/rear suspension? Doing even a paragraph on "which is better" for each kit...

huh? I'm running 40s on a stock steering rack. After 27K miles, most of which dirt miles, I wore out a steering shaft joint. I'd say the steering system can handle 37s just fine.

this is the most inaccurate statement that I've read on this forum in quite a while. this is also inaccurate post #2 in this particular thread from you. 1. You can't use 3.0s with an SVC kit because they don't fit inside the arm. The coil diameter on a 3.0 would also cause contact with the...

I do it for free. I prefer to keep my hobbies, hobbies so that my joys don't turn into work.

Finished wiring some of my lights. And installed my new intercom and PTT buttons.

the center of gravity looks substantially higher on the TRX. no wonder it is so nose-heavy.

I think the frame is bent and cracked, at a minimum. I'd bet that the motor mounts, trans mount and tcase mount are all garbage now too. I wouldn't doubt that the only reason the knuckle didn't shear was that the bumper took a fair amount of the impact, however that force was transferred into...

hucked to flat in November. No damage. ( no I was not the driver. )

The truck is legit totaled. At least, for educational purposes, I now know about the weak spot battery/ecu mount. I think that mounting those resis on the cross-member is an awful design decision. I'd consider them a weak spot as well. Many think that the weight in the box is what smashed the...

40s, yes. Putting some fresh tires on before my next run. Having my truck regeared to 5.14s as well. ( Don't have to worry about front pinion strength anymore, so I can ditch the 4.56s.)

no such thing as oversized tires. :D

the shocks will be ice cold.

there is only one braptor, and cabo customs owns it.

certainly. It's because rough country "designs" and sells cheap shit to the lowest common denominator. :angels2: the same can not be said about SVC. ;)
