Raptor rock crawl

Just got done with the Gold Mountain Trail in Big Bear, CA. Good thing I made some custom rock sliders, they sure came in handy but the raptor handled it like a champ. More pics coming

You did it and survived! Lol. It’s not the vehicle that stops you or creates damage it’s the intelligence behind the wheel and knowing how far to push your limits and skills. Those rock sliders look very beefy!! Thanks for sharing bro, awesome pics!

Videos are to large to upload. It all worked out with good spotters. I think I’ve got some scratches here and there but should be able to buff those out.

Scratches are like scars. They add character and tell a story.

Nice job by the way.

Well done! It's definitely a fun trail, glad it worked out for you.

Looks great.
Are those sliders about 100 lbs each?
Using the 3 body mounts, how did you find them for strength. I was looking at the Rocky Road Outfitters super sliders, but was hesitant to add the 200 lbs for what might be insufficient strength.

The current configuration are 180lbs each. I intended to cut out about 30-40% so that would get them down to low 100’s each. Not much more than rocky road outfitters. Yes, used all 3 body mounts. Incredible strong and doing it all over again I would have used 3/16” wall thickness instead of 1/4”. That alone plus relief cuts here and there would get the weight down to 80-100lbs and plenty strong. You could easily pick up the entire 1/2 of the truck with this type of slider mount.
*if you purchase Rocky road outfitters, just install them yourself. It’s a piece of cake with a socket wrench, fyi

Whoa, no half measures there. I'm super reluctant at 100ish each for what I want to do with the truck. The protection is certainly appealing.

Thx for the info.
