Merry Christmas Everyone!

 

Christmas dusting.

 

This is what I had to plug into the TV and use so I didn’t wake my parents up on Saturday morning.

The thing had a 20’ cord on it which allowed me to sit on the couch.

 

Couple minute time lapse from this morning.

 

My mom got me a headlamp for Christmas..... luckily I’m on cold medicine and beer

 

Christmas crafts, my ugly sweater...err t-shirt

 

Raptor review

Cliffs notes, seems like it'd be a good buy used or if you could get a new one at msrp.

The one I had was a 2013 6.2L

Interior was comfy, seats felt supportive with a touch of lazy boy. Microsoft integration...worked like you would expect it to, clunky, and annoying to use, froze for a while after i plugged my phone in to charge. Dash and steering wheel buttons were easier to get to than tundra but very busy.

Motor.. Mmm sexy time. Slight lag in downshifting when you punched it but then it'd downshift and usually spin 35s on pavement. Addictive sound like a sports car. But average mpg was 13.3 with slow dirt, highway, and carbon cleaning runs.

I didn't end up finding many higher speed smooth dirt roads which was annoying. Most i found was bumpy or whoop sections that meant slow going. Suspension didn't soak up as much as i expected at slower speeds (it stayed aired up). But the suspension over bumps and slides at higher speeds reminded me of the Kings on the Tacoma.

So, a tundra with a s/c, good King extended/mid travel setup and clearance for 35s would be a good match. Of course, add that onto a later model tundra purchase price and a raptor will be the better buy money wise, new would depend on the dealer markup. And nope, mine is staying stock.

 

Did you track your routes (van and Raptor) with GPS? Care to share them?

 

No tracking.

But Vegas to death valley via parumph, beatty and rhyolite. Up to the crater (due to slow leak in tire, no titus canyon drive or racetrack). Sand dunes, badwater.

Raptor was Jean lake, goodsprings up to Kyle canyon.

 

Did you swing by one of the ranches while in Pahrump?

 

Guessing those are the pretty girl ranches? Nope, thanks for the reminder beforehand! Guess I'll be back again.

All i saw were firework shops and sovereign citizen neighborhoods.

 

Damnit.. Second flight in a row where there's a "paperwork issue." I thought we were just going to drive to Denver since we've been taxiing so long.

We can fly things around in space and yet we have to stop in the middle of the runway to inventory the number of grapes on the food cart.

 

Has anyone seen what the asking price is? I've seen a lot of posts about it but never any numbers.

Very well set-up, but I'm guessing it's an "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" price.

 

That thing is sexy! When will the snorkel trend end?

 

Being that one of the main benefits is getting cleaner air vs sucking in a bunch of dirt... it's a good thing in the dusty west.

But yeah, he's in evergreen, all price questions are responded to with a "send a private message" response. And only number i ever saw was the truck has cost of $150k over its lifetime. But it's had many stages and builds.

If it was priced properly, it'd be sold already, so I'm curious.
