Gotta go with you on that. I was having a talk with the off road shop next door to my work and this exact subject came up. They are building a spec class racer truck- the engines are stock (sealed) but suspension is pretty much open. As a result, the parts carnage is lots lower but they are darn...
Bet the last things said in that Raptor was: "Watch this" quickly followed with "Oh Shit", then "You OK?".
I bet the PCM has some interesting data: speed, throttle position and such.
Last tuesday I saw a black Scab parked at TMCC in Reno- then today I saw a Race Red Screw (I think) in Carson City on William St. I was in a hurry, so I didnt see him until it was to late to wave... in fact to make it worse, my wife saw him first-and she has worse eyesight than a mole.
No noise in either my '10 Raptor or the wife's '11 FX4, She did tell me to get off the gas the the other day when I was driving her's & getting on the freeway, apparently she is worried about mileage.
How about getting the Prairie city guys to drag the Vorra track and having a get together there? Or there is always the roller coaster section up here.....

I can understand to many vehicles for two people- one of the reasons for selling my Jeep.
Big J here on the site armored up his Raptor's belly pretty well-do a quick search and that ought to answer most of your questions- Raptors do have some exposed parts.
I sold my '03 Rubicon (lifted & such) when I decided I wanted a Raptor. We have had a lot more fun with the Raptor, and getting to the trails isnt as much effort as it was in the Jeep (anyone with a modded Jeep knows about their highway quirks) . But- you are not going to run the Rubicon in the...
Yeah, I have a hard time accepting that large of a price difference. But, that might be right, I dont have any hard facts.
I bet we would all be surprised at how much the government regulation adds, I know in CA they do everything they can to make it hard to conduct business.
When given the...
I have to put a plug in for a local guy who builds off road trailers: Sierra 4×4 Trailers – Jeep & Off Road Trailers – Roof Top Tents and Overland Equipment
