That's my home town. Grew up in Capitola off of 41st on Gladys. Went to Soquel Elementary and then Capitola New Brighton Middle School. Love that place.

thanks for the replies.

I am in Morgan hill, south of san jose

lots to do around here - back roads for the harley, beach over the hill ( I drive over to santa cruz and capitola for drinks and dinner quite often )

went to Hollister hills off road park sunday with the raptor - great time. I attached a pic

I did notice a few things: the hood is BIG ! you crest a climb , you can't see anything - started using the front cam a lot. I also have a FJ40 - what a difference.

it is a good 4x -wheeler - if you use the trac lock / brake pedal / and gas it this truck will go just about anywhere - maybe not the rubicon trail .

While it is not meant for the Rubicon, I have taken it in to about the Gatekeeper though.

Nice pics ! - I love granite

I think the biggest problem would be the narrow gap by rubicon springs ( camp )

Cadillac hill probably would be ok.

I will be taking the raptor to Tahoe a lot this summer - can't wait !

Two weeks old today.....1000 miles already. So far so good.

I meet with my dealer again and had in depth review of the raptor.

after, I went to Kings canyon national part - nice place.

I found some snow to play in ( temps were in the 70's )
