Not really, but one or two times a night....in a tent.....8 feet off the ground......in the dark...... I ain't killing myself.

I actually thought I could use a flap in the side of the tent......but I don't want to pee on my Raptor!

Oh I hear that. My last attempt at camping, I tried to sleep in an Eno which was great until the hook that it hung from broke and I fell on to a firewood pile…I slept in the raptor that night.

Used these for years as I traveled and climbed -- never leave the tent



Pack small and can't confuse them with a regular nalgene or gatorade bottle

thats for drinking it says so on the bottle.

as far as peeing, just get a deck and hang the tent over. then just roll over and hang it out the tent. problem solved. or cut a hole in the bottom of the tent and put a 5 gallon bucket in the bed. problem solved twice. or get a tent full of silica gel balls. problem solved twice twice minus 1. or get adult diapers. problem solved once four times. i can go on about solutions but try those 4 first.

They are awfully quiet about what type of bourbon

The limit straps definitely soften the blow of coming to end of droop. They are deff not elastic or stretchy, but they deff do stretch. Saposedly they stretch 1" per foot of strap. However I've also read some manufactures actually take that into account and give you a strap slightly smaller that will stretch to the size your looking to buy. If only I measured my 12" straps before I stall. I was just so damn excited to get them on it didn't even cross my mind.

Do you run no sway bar on road? Regularly?
If so, what's your opinion on it? I thought of removing mine eventually, and mounting straps to lower sway bar link mount, just as you mentioned. Just curious how you think the truck handles and rides on road without sway bar.

I actually jumped a massive curb today on purpose leaving a gas station, and I may have snapped my sway bar. *****. Not 100% sure yet, but I'll be crawling under in the next couple days to find out.

Seems legit, I'll add 'em to my list heh, thanks!

I ditched the swaybar several years ago, no issues, admittedly 95% on-road and I'm not doing slaloms or hot laps at Laguna Seca or anything. Even with 35" KO2's the width of the Raptor IMHO would take a LOT to tip without one, way farther than I'm going to push it, and the improved articulation/independence of the frontend is worth the tradeoff for me (not to mention ANYTHING to lighten that hunk of mass up there); it's a slight improvement and those add up. I would never go back to a front swaybar, but would consider a rear if I had it linked. Note this comes from years of quad racing in the desert, I had a Banshee back in the day with a long(ish) travel setup with a-arms up front and swingarm rear that worked great offroad, and going to a lowered setup with a front swaybar for flattrack was literally a night and day difference. Holeshot tires versus Hoosiers also a massive contributing factor, but it's like comparing a Bronco R versus a GT40. Not so much on this truck, it's probably all in my head haha!
