If you really want the raptor, you can swap out the stock springs for a more heavier duty progressive springs. Atlas makes some for under a grand. Everything else on the raptor is beefier so should do just fine for you.
Also, a Raptor will hold it's resale value better than pretty much any...
thank you sir!

Beautiful pics. Well done on getting yourself out of the mud!
I took my dad to Death Valley about 2 years ago. He loved it and had always wanted to go...great memories.
Looks like an amazing time. I agree, people are missing out on such a wonderful land and people. But, I won't complain since Baja would likely be ruined if people really new how great it was. I just made my first trip about 2 weeks ago and I'm hooked. If it wasn't for our 3 year old son back...
Ah...that's a real bummer.
I felt safe once we got out South of the border. Granted we were in a large group of 21 trucks.
I missed the exit to Ensenada in TJ right after the border crossing. I was a bit stressed haha. You don't want to get lost in TJ and it's hard to tell which road is going...
Woweee!! Just got back from a 4 day trip across Northern Baja. Hit Ensenada, San Quentin, Mikes Sky Ranch, and San Felipe. Trip was amazing and I'm working on a full report. Truck held up flawlessly. Beat the crap out of it but it kept coming back for more. Only damage came from hitting a...
I don't dislike the new Raptor. I think it has it's benefits and what I feel are downsides. For me, I'd rather keep my big v8, current styling, and 6 speed tranny.
You can say that about any truck. Raptor does not fit into the same category because it isn't just shocks. It's a big motor...
My thoughts:
- Doesn't look like a desert truck anymore. Just a big aggressive truck.
- 10 speed tranny...why?!?! I rarely go passed 3rd in the desert. I sure as hell don't want to shift more than i already do.
- not a fan of the eco-boost. I've heard several stories of people who've done...
Had an amazing weekend out at Pismo Dunes. We had an big meet up which was a total blast. Truck had some damage unfortunately. Bent my rear bumper pulling a guy out of a giant whole. Stupid d ring pin was to big for my tow adaptor so i just wrapped it around my bumper. Thought the 2 inch tubing...
Oops, i guess i didn't see you guys haha. There's no way I'd mistake a Land Cruiser for a Subaru.
I guess it's good we didn't run into him than. Sounds like you guys had fun as well.
