Why were we the "Lone Raptor" at the Winter 4x4 Jamboree!!?

Howdy, We were the only Raptor with my wife's '13 SCREW. Why was that? This was our first real off-roading event with our Raptor. It was like we invaded a Jeep Jamboree! I tell you what though, we held our own on the few trails we went on.

Looks like a lot of fun!

Because you didn't post an invite thread

I'll remember that next time....I just assumed there would be Raptors at a 4x4 event in SW Utah! Silly me.....

Did they make you run at the tail of the line because you didn't have a Jeep? Looks like a great trip.

They made him run at the tail so they didn't have to try to keep up

Looks like fun! Thanks for sharing.

What bed rack were you using?

We were mid pack or towards the front. Nobody ever had to wait for us. And I'm a total Noob to off-road. Took the 4x4 101 class on Thursday, they said we were the biggest vehicle they ever had in the class! Bedrack and tent are Yakima. I left 'em on to test the setups efficacy. It held up awesome. We had 14 degree uphill climbs, 15 degree down, and @ 1 time 20 degrees laterally. That one made my wife a bit nervous.....it's her Raptor! At first the creation of desert pin stipes were leaving her quite silent, which always concerns me. I think she's over it though. We had a blast! This 1st time out we didn't attempt anything tougher than a level 4 trail. I just need to invest in a CB and onboard air now.
