Offroading High Speed

[BOJANGLES]

Swaybar is off

Bo ur absolutely right the steering is a lot squishier

I'm heading to my spot to do some whoops runs will try and get back some useful info after this haha

Drift through some choppy ruts sideways... That's where you'll really feel the difference.

Yep - good advice. Unless you're racing in wide open terrain (that you both have pre-ran) leave lots of space for contingencies - even when there's no dust.

NV Guy and I plan on meeting up this weekend and hopefully we'll get some good shots of our trucks havin fun out there.

Hopefuly it stops storming. Got snow Thursday..

Got there and saw a cop with some old chevy pulled over

Stopped to talk and the cop says it illegal to go to my spot now

****** ****

So I went back a few mins later he was gone

Made one good rally run threw about a 100ft whoops section and holy ****

This truck just levitates over them now

Never going back on haha will get some vids sometime soon when it's more mellow and I have a camera man

 

[BOJANGLES]

Nice.

 

[SoSmoked]

Which I guess qualifies for this thread

Know your terrain before attempting to outrun the police officers you spoke with about not 4xing moments prior

Hah

Haven't done any outrunning in the Raptor, and I'm almost 30 now, so knowingly running from the law is not something I ever plan to have to do in my life at this point.

...but I'm not gonna lie, when I was your age (and younger) there were a couple of times where we had to outrun Sheriffs in the New Mexico desert when they came busting our bonfire parties and we all had to scatter. That's one way to learn how to offroad at high speed to say the least.

Now hear this young man, I'm not encouraging you to do that stuff... I'm just sayin'... I understand stuff like that happens when you're growing up. There are plenty of guys on here in Law Enforcement and the Military as well as just dudes with life experience who can explain the consequences of that. I definitely don't encourage you to run from the Law or be unsafe either.

...now let's see who comes in here and scolds us both.

 

[SoSmoked]

Yea I've had my fair share already

I am 19 and fairly successful

On my own and have the sickest truck on the market

But man oh man sometimes I just can't control the reckless kid in me

Appreciate the advice Bo

Trust me, I still have a lot of growing up to do myself, but anyone who's this age or older can tell you there's a lot you learn between 19 and 29... You'll see.

Be careful with that reckless kid in you, we've all got one, the key is to keep him in check.

To get back on topic, that last sentence is most definitely true when you're offroading.

SoSmoked, you're so cal, right? If so, where'd you go?

 

[SoSmoked]

Yes I migrate all of Ventura county

Live in a small town central and there's about a 10 mile creek bed all sand wash that I've dubbed to be my stomping grounds

Not too worried about the law there's only one road onto it and I have a back door out haha

Only thing to watch for is ranchers they will **** ur day up if you touch their property

I've hade one very close call and was actually shot at

Wether or not he missed on purpose is beyond me but it was ******* sketchyyyyy
