I was just scrolling through and saw this map and had to do a double take.We would absolutely love to take it actually off road. However, we are located in southeastern VA. We are 1000% flat land. No trails or climbs to use the Raptor. We would have to travel hours for that. What wet do have..... beaches and plenty of water. Here's a Pic for reference. Her Braptor is short lived. It has 5 years before it will be traded in on something new. It's been Chevy trucks past 15 years, but this is the first ford. Maybe we'll stay, but maybe we won't. We shall see. Our area though is flat as all get out. So we'd need to drive 4+hours one way to find trails like yall take them on. That's a vacation for us. Which we do 1-2 times a year. We head to the Shenandoah mountains. Mainly for chilling and fishing, but maybe we'll hit a trail this year with the Braptor, but in our area..... he's a pavement pounder
We definitely love it here. Especially in boating season. I mean we fish in off season obviously, but born and raised here..... we hibernate when its cold
My wife is a fan of the color matched rings. I prefer the all black.
Thanks for the pointer to the Heininger Twistep!That's exactly what I was curious for! Hah!
We are NC and about 2 hours from the beach. I'd love to get on some trails but we ar mostly beach as well. I drive mine daily with my 3 GSDs and my 10 year old. It's always nice to see what other people like me are doing
Current mods are -
Front window and windshield XPEL tint
Jam Handles (front doors, rear doors, back door and window)
BD XL80s (amber - it's mostly for fog and astigmatism) on SDHQ A pillar mounts (AUX 2)
Rigid Amber Fog Covers (AUX 1)
Shorty Antenna
White D Ring Shackles
BD S2 Pros (clear and on the rear to help with backing up or use when hanging out back there- AUX 5)
Milwaukee air compressor and Staun tire deflators (would love to get an ARB brushless mounted somewhere but waiting for the right spot)
Heininger Twistep (for the pups an because I'm short)
EZ 4x4 Top Lifter, Door Cart and Alignment Pins (so I can remove and replace the doors and top on my own)
EZ 4x4 Folding Tailgate Table (excited to have this for the next beach trip!)
Want to add mods:
Possibly new wheels when tires are replaced. I'm leaning toward Toyo ATs and maintaining 37s
S&B intake and GooseTune (I don't go crazy but.... lol)
Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel
Thinking if doing one of these whenever I upgrade.
I was thinking of eruption green on the ring with the badlands orange on the bolts....or vice versa. I have been scouring the interwebs to see if anyone has done either color combos and has pictures.... but no luck.
Guess I might have to give it a go myself!!!
Do it! I'm hoping to get this project done with EG as soon as the weather stabilizes and the pollen is gone.
