Ok, not much time left, I “jumped on the band wagon” pretty late in the game. Originally, I planned to join a small group of guys (all with Raptors) heading up to northern Maine. I hoped to use that trip to prepare for Havoc ’14 or another GLRE event.

The Maine trip didn’t work out (sorry T) so, I asked about getting in on this one. Jason actually found out that I was interested and he reached out to me (very cool). This was after the registration had already closed. I had to scramble but I have a co-driver and now the fun begins.

I can’t wait to meet all of you and finally use the Raptor for more than just my daily commute. Haha

What have you done to get prepared?

*Changed oil, checked fluids, air pressure, etc.
*Started making a list

What's completed?

*Installed fire extinguisher in bed
*First aid kit
*2nd spare tire purchased (f-150 which I will move into stock location) and mount stock spare in bed
*tie down brackets installed in bed
*48” Hi-Lift xtreme
*30’ tow strap, shackles, and chains.
*axe and shovel mounted to F1
*extra fuel
*a cooler

What do you have left to do?

*This a very good question.
*Helmets

Do you have all of the GLRE run requirements met yet?

*I think so

Will you be partaking in the night run?

*Hell Yes, I currently have 4 Rigid D2’s, I may add more.

What supporting vendors have you supported??

*Does Ford Warriors in Pink count? I promised the wife that I would buy her a t-shirt
*Amsoil
*Rock Auto

If camping, what's your set up?

*so far: sleeping bag – Rausch Creek

This is what I have for helmets, what do you think? They're DOT, MTV, Wonder Bread, and Tonka certified:

I finally had a free weekend to do some much needed HITH preparation.

-Installed RPG tie rods
-Installed camber plates
-Rotated tires
-Changed oil & filter
-Lubricated rear leaf spring packs
-Re-torqued exhaust clamps and rear frame support bolts
-Applied 3M undercoating to rear wheel wells

All in all it was a very productive weekend. Now I just need to get the alignment taken care of.
