2012 Lil Sahara Raptor Dune Run - Pics, Videos, and Report

doesnt look like it in the video but those are some nasty whoops. And I love listening to my truck just roar by lol. Seriously I wasn't expecting much from this set up at all. it doesn't really increase wheel travel but DANG! I AM SOLD! It would be a suicide mission to take a stock truck through those whoops. He just got up on top and blew past us every time.

Awesome. As soon as I drove his truck I was sold on the Stage 4+ setup!

I can't stop thinking about TRR and how different that 42 miles will be - with the worst of that severe pounding smoothed out by the 3.0's. Not to mention the wheel hop eliminated with the National leafs. It will definitely be a much more controlled experience resulting in a much faster lap time.

I noticed a huge difference just with stage 3.. The nationals make a HUGE difference..

The first day with stock it was a little rough especially at slower speeds (5-20 mph) for the front half. After spending a good part of Saturday getting stage 3, uca, and tie rods. It was a totally different machine. The rear of the truck it so much better than the front. (mostly because of my negative offset and top perch)

Before TRR 2013 planning on getting 3.0's, 0mm offset wheels, mid perch, rcv axles, and different tires.

Why different tires? are you not happy with those now?

Different meaning new.. Top perch, alignment issues (not staying aligned, alignment cam tume) have trashed my tires after 14,000 miles.. I am thinking -12mm offset has not helped alignment issues either.

You know what I keep thinking about? RW's beans!! They were easily the best I have ever had. Like seven different kinds of beans and ground beef, and bacon - lots of bacon... prepared in stages. Unbelievable! Like a meal all by itself.

Tomorrow my family is getting together for a cookout - finally going to eat all the dove we shot the first two days of the season (130 birds). There will be more than ten different ways these birds will be prepared. I can think of no other side I would rather have! Mmmmmmmmm!!!!



Nicole, I would consider myself very blessed if you could PM me that recipe!

Please please please!!!
