Thanks man, it is fun as hell, that's for sure!! I was about to embed a top speed offroad video, some jump videos and some videos of a friend and I trail running in our Raptors together, but I see that the ShagMan has not yet set up a YouTube or Vimeo embed button. ...What a douche-trough! You guys need to tell that slacker to quit resting on his laurels and give you fine Gentlemen the tools you deserve!! You don't have to put up with some 2nd rate bullshit!!!
Thanks for bashing me and shag....we will get that stuff installed as the need arises. Its not here yet.
He says hello with a derogatory slur at the end... You and I could become good friends here, Sir. ....But what's with the dollar signs, does Shaggy not let you guys use adult words here? If that's the case, let me know if I need to give him a good talkin' to, I'll set that ASSHOLE straight! I don't believe you. Gracias.
I'm just givin' you guys a hard time buddy. The site looks good, just like ours did before the skin, I'm sure he and Miner have something nice in the works for this forum in that regard. Glad to see you guys are off to a nice start.
Some middle finger action.... Now we're talkin', put some stank on it!! Lemme know when the embed code is good to go and I'll come back and post up some rompin' vids. In the meantime, I encourage all of you guys to drop by http://www.fordraptorforum.com/ and give a big 1-fingered-salute to your forum-cousins over there. I'm looking forward to continued success for both of these sites. Cheers, Gentlemen.
Nevermind, I figured out another way..... Jumps... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4b_K2ko4AQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dte_b_wSB8&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Top speed run.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib6b6qU-uFA&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Here are some of my buddies chasing me... they are in a 5.4 liter Blue Raptor with some engine mods..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wcCE9Hk1qM&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Some in-cab videos shot from my truck. You may or may not appreciate the mundane commentary along the way.... Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN-cZBBKrYI Part 2 of this lil' excursion was too big for YouTube, so I had to use my Vimeo Pro account.... It won't seem to embed here, so you'll have to click this link if you wanna see it..... http://vimeo.com/13900106 Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2Y4KF5otP4
It's amazing how smoothly the Fox triple-bypass suspension handles it. First time I jumped it I was beyond nervous.... then when I landed it felt like I'd barely left the ground. Nowadays I'll get a good 3-4 feet of air under my tires and I've never had a problem. I already wanna go bigger though, that's why I'm planning on going with an SDHQ (superduty-hq.com) kit someday down the line. They are one of our sponsors at FRF and they're developing some cool chit for the Raptor, but they've got plenty to offer for other Fords too. If you wanna see what jumping it feels like from inside the cab, go to the vimeo link above (http://vimeo.com/13900106)and somewhere between the 6:00 and 8:00 minute marks I hit that same jump twice..... It's pretty funny cause two of my buddies get scared to take it and they have to be let out of the truck before we catch air.
