What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

[oxfordraptor]

That is 300% awesome man. My pops made it to 71 and that was it.

after he got diagnosed with AML ( which was super late stage. he had been misdiagnosed for about 5 years at that point), every time he was in the hospital for a bone marrow transplant, or anything else, i sat next to him in his room, showing him pictures and videos of different trucks ripping through the desert. He made it 2.5 years after the transplant but never was well enough to go on any sort of trip. (docs wouldn't let him travel)

I have a notebook full of the notes and ideas that he'd write down when I wasn't there. I still go back to it whenever I need a little inspiration to keep going with it. I promised him on his death bed, that I'd finish my truck and take my brother and my nephews on the trip we talked about for literally hundreds of hours.

I have a couple more years until my oldest nephew is big enough to go on a trip, but I won't let it go until the truck is what my dad's biggest dreams thought it should be, and the boys get to hit Baja with me and my brother.

That’s rad man. Condolences brother.

I can relate to both of your situations. My girlfriend found my father in my house last September a day before his 69th birthday. Sucks!! I decided to trade my gen1 in on a 2 and went way farther than planned on mods. You live every day and die once. Go big!!

Seems we all suffer the same but have a supportive outlet. RIP papa

Took the Raptor on a little pavement sight seeing trip in Northern Idaho and along the Priest River. No off road, but still fun.
