Explanation

Bending the frame?? Today?

Looks like the ford raptor has a crush zone right above the rear axle that I didn't know about and I thought it would take a lot of force to break things so I got carried away in the moment with my daughter carlee having fun and I pushed it a little bit to far. But it can be fixed so , I am going to get it fixed and chalk the money spent as a lesson learned.

Well and your girl was so excited about you bending your frame. She was showing and telling everyone. Plus you got some great shots that Jeff took.

Don't worry too much about it I have seen worse and we fixed it so when you get a chance order up a RPG kit and we can get it installed its not going to magically repair it but since metal fatigue is involved its better than nothing... I would if I could afford the actual frame repair take it to a frame shop to get welded.. ..In the mean time just get the longer bump stop bolts I told you about... Thanks for coming out...

I also put this up for photo of the month "Raptor Flying"... I don't see anyone beating your picture without frame damage...

Too funny I like how I just craw over it like a tease

I'm curious if anyone had problems with the heat yesterday, I'm debating starting a biannual prairie city run from now on, and not sure if we should do it in june and december, or adjust it to march and september or something, I'm thinking june and december would be better since the difference in track conditions would be so varying, while march and september would be more comfortable weather conditions

 

[Icecobra]

I would think, May... October with an add on for December...

 

[iHaveGas]

December is very muddy and it has lots of puddles. I'm not a fan of it that time of the year. Things hide in the puddles. In 2012 there was a deep puddle I drop in to and my back recovery hooks hit the side wall of the hole. May and October would be best. October would get you some mud but the track will not get the damage it gets over the winter season. But I won't be here anyway.

May can be rainy and wet, and that means mud. Trust me, you dont want any of that mud, your Raptor will carry it to the crusher-or the Mecum classic auction in 2050.

BTW-Ice-all the CHPs were in Truckee and on 80. I encountered about 5 of em.
Your Welcome.
