    Brush Guards/Push bars

    I don't have a front bumper on yet, but I have alot of other heavy accessories. I haven't noticed a huge fuel consumption change. But, this is the first tank with my new tires/wheels on, so we'll see in a couple hundred miles. Rear steel plate bumper: 120# Roof Rack: 95# Rock Sliders: 110#...

    What did you do to your truck today?

    Finally finished cutting off pieces of the front bumper so my new tires don't rub. It'll stay that way until my new slim bumper gets here.

    Snow Chains anyone?

    http://www.jcwhitney.com/jcwhitney/textsearch_result.jcw?sku=snow+chains&shopid=100001&_requestid=159180 Here's a link. Didn't really look at them too much, but I think some will fit what you have. Prices are comparable to what we paid a few years back.

    Need Some Help Jeep Guys

    I would say that guy was STUCK. And it was cold and rainy. He had a wench, but the synthetic "cable" broke trying to pull him out. It actually made a really cool noise, just no worky.

    2011 Ford Raptor really worth it?

    I would love to drive the chit out of one, but not really own it, if you know what I mean. Mine aren't really for sale, well they are for the right price. But, I would have to sell something before I could buy something else. SOMEONE on here is sure to get one and try it out. It's just not...

    2011 Ford Raptor really worth it?

    Tell ya what. I'll sell everything and go buy one. Then I'll keep everyone up to date on what it can and cannot do. So if anyone wants some old Rovers and an MG, they are for sale.

    2011 Ford Raptor really worth it?

    And that is what this thread is about. If you have a capable truck, why bother with buying something so huge, wide, etc.

    2011 Ford Raptor really worth it?

    I have no idea. But I do know from reading up on it that the power is quite differently delivered to the wheels. Both were made for two different things. I would like to have an experienced driver go out on the trails we go out on. If the Raptor is better than me, so be it. I'm still happy...

    2011 Ford Raptor really worth it?

    310bhp at 5000 rpms and 360 ft# torque at 3500. It's all about how/when it's delivered to the tires. I'm sitting at 320bhp at 4500 rpms and 407 ft# at 2800 rpms. Running a CDL, but other than that I'm pretty much stock. So, yes the Raptor could make it up the mountain, just alot faster and...

    2011 Ford Raptor really worth it?

    There is a guy on base with a black one. He cannot hit the trails around here cause of the width and it doesn't have enough torque to make it up the big inclines.
