Ken Block Unveils Gnarly Ford Raptor TRAX « The World Famous KROQ
Im Sure there is more floating around.
From there FB
So what does Ken Block do when handed the keys to a turn key factory desert built pre-runner? Simple, turn to Special Vehicle Concepts of Southern California to create a blizzard eating, snowboard toting, mobile jib park that hauls both Ken and his closest friends deep into the Utah backcountry.
The challenges of getting this Ford Raptor to what you all see today was the culmination of countless late nights at SVC headquarters fueled by Monster Energy drinks to keep us all going strong. The entire interior top section of the roll cage was cut out, reworked and tailored just right to give Ken the headroom and space he needs to enjoy the path ahead. The Rear bed cage system was designed to keep the occupants snugged down and in the truck, just in case Ken’s rally car roots get the best of him.
Courtesy of Recaro Seats, occupants both inside and out will travel in comfort while enjoying all 500+ horsepower from the Whipple Supercharger, thus enabling this beast to keep turning the Mattracks system in the deepest of snow. In case the day runs long, the dark and lonely mountain landscape will be illuminated by both a 30” and 50” LED Ridgid Industries light bars mounted to a custom roof rack the doubles as both a removable cargo holder for all the gear, and a system of hand rails for board sliding and jib tricks performed directly on the truck. The 30” LED bar rest snuggly and securely to SVC’s Performance Series production based bumper exclusively for the Ford Raptor market. A dual pair of Ridgid industries D2’s in both Amber and Blue offer a disco light show for the people in the back.
Projects like this are never easy. They usually run longer than expected, and grossly over budget. But thanks to special people like Justin from Hoonigan Racing it stayed on task and on time. Without him, and everyone else involved, we don’t see how this could have been pulled off before the snow melted away. We at Special Vehicle Concepts would like to thank the following:
Ken Block and the rest of his team at Hoonigan Racing.
Monster Energy for believing in his vision and passion to push the envelope in everything he does.
Recaro Seats for getting SVC what we needed on time, and right the first time.
Taylor at Ridgid Industries for hooking up the lights needed to make this happen.
Kirk at Raptoraddict.com for applying his superior paint skills to the entire cage system.
Mike at Whipple Superchargers for taking care of us for our power needs
Dennis for flying out the Park City to custom tune the vehicle (this is a whole other story for another day).
Tim at Glassworks Unlimited for an amazing set of front fiberglass.
King Shocks for always providing the best suspension in the industry.
Tim, Victor and Rick at G&S race Prep for the extra help with all and anything off-road. Thanks for trusting that we can do this.
And most of all, the whole team at Special Vehicle Concepts. Without them, this never could have been possible.

You can go fast and exceed the recommended 40mph and he will do that. They are grea for deep snow.

Yeah, I hear ya, but if going to put this on a Whippled Raptor what would going slow prove. LOL
Maybe he'll melt the runner off like he does with tires.
