Braptor is actually disappointing

I started looking at that forum and was intimidated from reading the comments but learned a lot from it. I sold off my 4600 2 years ago and built a 4900 canam for koh 23 but just lost interest due to other things I’m involved in. Sold it and when buying the clips for the wife’s interior panels she called me to tell me about the Braptor. I looked at it and said it was nice but the next day she egged me in to buy it and now it sits in the street. Wish I bought a old ranger and did a complete overhaul with a double throw down set up. But I kind of lost interest in that scene because of the rabbit hole I’ve been down a few times that could have bought 2-3 of these braptors.

Me too
So I bought a 2 door with a warranty I’m trying to see the world before I die not build a purpose built trailer rig

I want to build something I can drive on the road but also take to the desert and let loose as a second vehicle. Just having difficulty and making a choice. The wife thought this would be a good choice but shortly I became disappointed and now she want to kill me. But hopefully I find something that peaks my interest shortly because all these new vehicles I’m not interested in.

Something makes me think you and I would get along poorly. If you are in a position to pick up a Braptor when buying panel clips, then you are also in the position to sell it if it does not fit your expectations. This post sounds just about as far opposite of pirate as possible. Sounds like you need to get something from a custom shop. An actual race shop, not some local 4wp store.

how much ADM did you pay? Sounds like a lot.

I love my Braptor, especially at the introductory price from last year. No way I would pay more than $80k for one. Perfect for my use case and fits my lifestyle. Wife picked up one recently as well and we can go off-roading together.

Actually I prefer to build my own stuff. Surprisingly I’m easy to get along with and am not about look at what I have. I’m just amazed over the past few years how people tolerate buying garbage and are mesmerized by gadgets and options rather than a decent product.

Total was 91k at the end of March23

This piqued my interest for a few seconds. However, without pics, this thread is useless as stealing peeks at a Twin Peaks restaurant.

And I respect your response escoeciallybhownyounwouldnt go above a certain price. But do you honestly think it’s worth the current msrp?

So I never planned on getting the Bronco or a Raptor. I was able to test drive them at KOH 2021 and the bronco's they had handled pretty good and all the other racers and teams thought the same. I've sold a stock 4600 jeep JKU and a 4900 car and thought I was done with the off-road scene. However when redoing the audio in the wife's bronco when buying clips for the panels I happen to purchase a Braptor. At first I thought the vehicle was good but 4000 miles later, I feel its the worst vehicle I have ever owned. First I feel the interior is the cheapest quality I have ever come across and was worse than a 2003 Hyundai accent I had when enlisted in the military. The interior panels look like they were manufactured at a nock off golf club manufacturer in China. I had to remove the panels in the wife's 2 door to replace all the speakers and install a sub and they are the flimsiest POS I have ever had to remove and reinstall. The paint in the rear looks like an orange peal and the comfort in the seat doesn't compare to a S10 I had over 20 years ago. I have taken it wheeling on actual rocks and not some BS dirt trail and must say it handles nice compared to other off the floor vehicles but on the road is the worst vehicle I have driven on the road. That comparing it to a jeep 4 door with one ton axles with Grizzly lockers on 35" tires with a double triangulated rear 4 link and long arm kit in the front that was 4600 KOH tagged which handled better on the road than this thing. I know this isn't the common post as most are worried about PPF or what lights to put on and painting bash plates but is there any actual people out there that have wheeled real rock trails and not the BS Moab revenge or hells gate trail that can be done in a kia sportage that actually thinks this thing is even worth the original MSRP of 2022? The Fox shocks I feel are ok and wish they would have gone with a company that actually has good customer service like King or ADS shocks which I feel are better quality and have more tunability. Just venting but does any one else feel let down with the quality of it?

Sorry. You can’t fix ugly, and the Braptor is ugly.

Ouch…I’m with you on the interior quality. It’s embarrassing for vehicle that costs this much.

what do you specifically want picture of. Do you have one? If not then this post doesn’t apply to you.
