I hope this one shows up to the lake bed working properly and finished, unlike the gladiator. Don't know if that fell on savy but it was a debacle.
*looks like it heavily fell on jeep for tossing them keys two weeks before the event and saying "build it"
May share a few items but not the same. Ranger Raptor has more in common with the Everest due to the Watts linkage rear and bronco running a more traditional 5 link.
Every time I read about the Warthog I think of that thread and how determined that Stampede fellas was that the other guy who worked on the project was wrong. I had actually been to dinner with a rep from a certain winch company the Sunday before that thread who mentioned the warthog being...
Remember that time a few months ago there was a guy who said there would be an off-road variant called “warthog” and everyone acted like he was an idiot? Pepperidge farm remembers.
Ram debuting the 702 horse TRX to fight the raptor. Has the same Goodyear territory tires as bronco.

That is 100% the bronco at the top in this screen grab. I have no doubts the jeep made it with either a "moab" bump or by moving a foot or so to the right. Traction out there is weird.
for reference...here is Toyota testing the 4runner there back in 09:

Found this interesting. Was buzzing through some bronco pics and this caught my eye. Rear end appears to be more in line of the Everest configuration. Watts linkage and drop out 3rd member as opposed to dana rear and 4/5 link. Super early chassis mule? Is this why we never see this one drive around?
BFG used to run a different Raptor Specific AT. Slightly different rubber compound and speed rating. I purchased them at a regular tire store for my JKU
