    I'm surprised I haven't come across this video before. This looks like a perfect outing for me. Check out the suspension travel, the jumps, the high speed drifting, the just fucking off in the desert. The good news...I get to keep the SRT8 and get the Raptor. One thing I thought about watching that video is that I probably won't go through a set of brake pads and tires in a day like I would at a track with the SRT8 (road racing). I also won't get in trouble the law fucking off in the desert. Odds are good "I" will roll the bastard soon enough...that's just how I roll! Hell, I rolled a Toyota Corolla (up armored) down a mountain in Afghanistan earlier this year...remind me to tell that story sometime. Anyways....got love the Raptor!

    haha, Baja! I'm sure it comes with a roll cage? and wasn't there some sort of ridiculous warranty where they fix it if you roll it/break it?


    and yes, you said you would tell the Toyota story after the incident investigation if you weren't in jail.

    Alright....I am clear of any investigation. I actually received an award for the deployment so I'm sure I'm clear of any "wrong doings". LOL

    I've been inside a Raptor and those things are badass. Link to the Toyota story?

    Yup, the Raptor is kick ass. I may end up getting one next year as well, Rick.

    Enough about the Ford, what about the Toyota? lol

    Ron, I can see it now. Beach Burgers once a month....and an hour and a half drive to Anza Borrego to tear shit up out in the desert....or maybe just some camping and a few cold daddy's!

    I wouldn't worry about Rick. You should make friends with someone else who owns one (or a tank) 'cause if you break it the tow truck isn't going to go there...
