    GEN 2 Off-roading your Gen 2: Driving Modes, Handling Characteristics, and more

    I'm glad yall are finding this useful, and appreciate the positive feedback. Team O'Neil have been rallying a Bronco Raptor lately. Wanted to share this video 1) because it is cool and 2) just in case someone is still skeptical that Baja 4H is faster than Baja 2H. I was expecting a bigger...

    thinking trx as serious rock/dirt replacement? don't do it!!!

    I don't know why anyone thought SRT did any kind of engineering on this truck...all they know how to do is stick a supercharger on big engines, which rednecks have been doing for half a century now. Actually, my new coworker previously worked at Fiat, and he's been telling me how all they can...

    Who would have thought - boot polish

    No pics. I tried when I first did the fix, you couldn't see the damage nor the improvement. It was very noticeable to me, but the camera wouldn't pick up on it.

    An afternoon in….The Muddy Mountain Wilderness

    Do you have Lyme Disease? That's how my left knee felt for years as I was dealing with it. Serrapeptase is a quick fix, made a huge difference for me.

    Texplex Permanently closed

    Well, I can't say I'm surprised, but the best place to run our trucks in North Texas is now permanently closed. Not sure if they were on their 3rd or 4th set of owners, but since opening 4 years ago they've struggled to become profitable. With the newest owners being out of state and management...

    Dust Devil Jamboree Pics

    If this is where I think it is, I've got something better Here's a video of a stock truck getting massive air off of that jump All that said, a stock truck can get 3 foot of air and not fully bottom out. All depends on how you land.

    Who would have thought - boot polish

    There are very few things I don't like about my truck; the extremely fragile interior is top of the list. The unreasonably thin dye and/or paint Ford used means almost every brush against the plastic results in a scuff of the opposite color. In the 5 years I've had my truck, I've tried all...

    Question on 4A vs. 2H

    This is the correct answer. 4A is a great feature on these trucks (took Ford entirely too long to copy Chevy on this), but if you aren't having traction problems on road, run 2H.

    BIG BROTHER IS FILMING YOU INSIDE THE GEN 3

    I'm usually the person saying this, but the fact of the matter is I don't want to be recorded unless I choose to be. So buying a Raptor that videos me all time - let alone any other vehicle - is out of the question. The alphabet agencies can make up whatever data they want to paint you into a...

    WTF!!?? Is This True!!?? Ford to Ship Incomplete Builds.

    My wife's 2006 trailblazer just had the transmission go out. We were on the fence about fixing it up - tho we have loved the thing - but it didn't take long to see vehicles with 100k+ miles on them going for over $35k to make us feel a lot better about getting a new transmission put into it. The...

    5 year-old daughter's first time off-roading

    My son has been asking to go again and again - probably will go weekend after next. My daughter has been soured on the experience a bit, which I was afraid of. I forgot racing neck braces are a thing - buy some of those and I bet a 5 year old will be fine. I'm gently trying to warm my daughter...

    TRX vs Raptor Comparison

    fake news. I ran with a TRX at Texplex my last outing and he was surprised at how much faster I could go in my stock Gen 2. There's one straightaway I'm certain he could have gotten to a higher speed, but the added front weight and inferior suspension meant he was slower everywhere else. This...

    5 year-old daughter's first time off-roading

    For those wanting a better view of the track with overlays, here's lap 2. Could have gone a lot faster but kids were starting to get fatigued.

    5 year-old daughter's first time off-roading

    It was $105 for the three of us ($65 for driver, $20 for each passenger). I've heard they also have a membership now, but I didn't pay a fee nor ask about it. It's always been in this condition for me - even going during the prerunner days, back when TMX and Texplex were buddy-buddy. Apparently...

    5 year-old daughter's first time off-roading

    The old GoPro overlay, using my GoPro's telemetry data and Dashware to generate the overlay. I would have done it for this video, but if the cameras don't have enough GPS signal then you won't get usable data, which unfortunately was the case this lap. My favorite overlay is the Harry's lap...

    5 year-old daughter's first time off-roading

    Pretty much every business will try and charge extra if you are a Raptor owner. Texplex is now on its third owner - the second upped prices to a ridiculous rate, but the park has always charged Raptors 4x what the UTVs paid for the same track. No longer! Helmet and fire extinguisher, not that...

    5 year-old daughter's first time off-roading

    Since taking my son out to TRR earlier this year, both my son and my daughter have been constantly asking me to take them offroading. I had been concerned with both of them being too young, but my son had handled TRR well, so I finally relented and took them out to Texplex this last Saturday. As...

    Doug Demuro Gen3 Review.

    Given Ram has to sell their trucks at a deep discount to get people to buy them - and they still are greatly outsold by Chevy (who in turn is greatly outsold by Ford), it is actually a factual statement that most truck buyers these days prefer the Ecoboost. Sales numbers don't lie.

    Doug Demuro Gen3 Review.

    It is a bigger difference in performance than the V8 the TRX has, since the TRX is slower offroad than a Gen 1, and a tune-only Gen 2 is faster at the drag strip.

    My wife has gotten to the point she can usually spot a fake pretty quickly.

    Doug Demuro Gen3 Review.

    Well, if you listen to the commentators on the interne, the Gen 2 is a terrible truck because of its V6. However, if you look at the sales numbers, Ecoboost F150s outsell everything else by a wide margin. Thankfully, Ford knows to ignore the idiots who aren't actually buying trucks, and instead...

    Did you order 35s or 37s?

    That's interesting, usually everyone claims that 37s are better for high speed stuff (providing you can make space for them) since you have more tire to absorb hits. Of course, you have more rolling weight too, so overall handling would take a noteworthy hit. Did the engineer go into specific...
