GREAT LAKES RAPTOR EXCURSIONS

Still have to install my RPG stage 4+, tie rods, raceline UCAs, rear raceline bumper, VHF radio from Jason Kanarky, slotted rotors and ceramic pads from Chris Kelly at Freedom Motorsports. Also need to mount my Toyo MTs and work on a solution for keeping my tire in the bed. Going to just ratchet strap it down.

Currently got my RPG Prerunner bumper installed with a 20 inch vision x light bar as well as my SDHQ brake lines and RPG PSR to name a few.

I still have to get the D rings for the truck as well as a helmet. Oh and that bed mounting solution, just need to get the connectors to my bed bolts for ratchet straps.

Hell yea I plan on doing the night run. Put that bright ass vision x bar to work! Let's do it!

As far as vendors on my truck I have stuff from the following site vendors: RPG, Freedom Motorsports, Stainless Works, Craven Speed, Raptor Retrofit, Rigid Lights, Saints Offroad, GLRE (radio), Fox Shox and SDHQ. If I miss one I apologize. Thank you to each and every one of you for the fantastic products you have. Love everything on my truck, thanks for making it happen!

Not camping but dont have a room yet. Once my leave chit get approved I will be booking a room. If I cannot get a room, looks like I will be roughing it will the cool kids!

So excited for this run. Team FYF is modding up and ready to kick some butt in the dirt.

Recommendations.........Cabelas is a quick trip south about 1/2 hour on Route 61...also in the area is Hawk Mountain Santuary. Pottsville (near Tremont) is the home of Yuengling Beer (oldest family owned brewery) and they do give tours. If you are history buff, of course, Gettysburg is 1 1/2 - 2 hours away, also Hershey Chocolate and Hershey Park. If you like small family amusement parks, there is Knoebels in Elysburg, (north on 61 from Tremont)....just a few I can think of

It's much easier to access a spare in the bed than under the truck when your up to the step rails in mud.....

Same logic for Snoball and snow....

Ahhh... wasn't thinking along those lines, I thought it was that the mount under the bed wasn't secure enough for offroad use or something.

Thanks for the info

I just put on my ADD Stealth and 40" light bar.
I have a helmet, tow strap, gas can....

I need to get some heavy duty ratchet straps, D-Rings a radio, beer and navigation?

Should be it unless I'm missing something. Do I need more lighting for the night run?
