How have I missed that youtube station...that's funny stuff right there!

Way more high speed stuff on that back half. Love those banked out turns where you could just bounce the trucks off those burms.

Ditto! I only did the front twice but the back around 6-7 times. Way better! Oh and successfully broke an exhaust hanger on the front half soooo after someone welded that back together for me, I stayed away lol.

LOADS of fun tho!

I only drove the second half. About 7 or 8 laps. Not a fan of those slower speed shale hill climbs.

Aw that's too bad Charlie! There are actually only a few steep shale hill climbs on the 1st half, and more than 50% is go fast terrain. Some of it is downhill over rough rocky terrain though (Cody's dad Mike and I both found a kidney belt and soft neck restraint at SDHQ vendor - they help a lot!) You would be amazed at how well those RPG trucks handled it.

For me, compared to last year - the FOX 3.0s made a huge difference, and those big rumbling 37's allowed me to haul ass right over those rockpiles haha.

Good to meet ya out there, and try it next year - it's awesome!

I ran the front half about 5 times, and although bumpy, it was fun.
I liked the rollers right before the pit.

talking about shocks first time hauling in a propane tank with the truck it didn't tip over no matter how careful I am I always tip the dang thing over. NOT with the raptor stock shocks of course but I took my driveway corner at 30mph and it didn't even tip that go's to show how well this truck's actually are. My driveway is banked one way

Did anyone run with the swaybar installed that had it removed last year? Notice a difference? Thoughts?

Is it just me, or does that logo look like a bloody Gumby?

I have had mine off ever since I adjusted the top shocks.
I love the difference in long sliding turns, as that the trucks telemetry lets your suspension do more work, and you are able to spider step through some breaking bumps, as seen here.

Notice the Voss team uses Fox Shocks.
Jimco and Voss trust Fox Shocks, Shouldn't you.
