RG is his own worst enemy. His arrogance causes him to make bad decisions but also causes him to win once in a while. I’m not a fan but it’s nice to have an American on 4 wheels in the Dakar rally. He realistically has no chance to ever win the overall. His funding and arrogance will not allow it.

I’m hearing +2" front and rear. That’s a pretty big jump. Talking 14" in a production, factory engineered vehicle. Saweet

Cameron Steele with his trusty sidekick Cody Stuart and the Desert Assassins doing work in the #16 Trophy Truck. Great shot.

Okay PatBateman I don’t wanna get you into hot water by pushing too much, you’ve been super duper helpful! Thanks so much!

Duuude! NO WAY A 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION! How did you find about that, do you work for Ford? Will it still have 4 wheel drive?

Just in case someone missed it the question is not about some goofy sunroof, the question is HOW MUCH FREAKIN TRAVEL?

Oh great 4 doors in Grey. Most of us that owned Raptors and used them as Offroad trucks really want to know the one freakin thing no one is talking about. HOW MUCH FREAKIN TRAVEL? 3" shocks? What’s the shaft diameter and oh ya HOW MUCH FREAKIN TRAVEL?

A Ridgeline however is a unicorn, it’s exactly the car/truck conglomeration that a hipster with some sort of large toy, say an extra large razor and shoe polish machine might need to haul his toy around in.

I had the extended cab which was great, I have 3 buddies with the screws that all left their rear bumpers scattered along the trail in Baja. You nailed it! 12" more wheelbase is exactly what the Raptor needs.

Everything is out there with a simple google search, hp, weight, electronic do-dads. For the peeps that actually use their Raptors the big question is how much freaking travel, what is the diameter of the shock and the shock shaft, and oh ya, how much freakin travel?

A lot of unknowns. We’ll have to see what happens.

Robby calls it a “Gordini” it his original creation with left overs and changes made to it from back when he was sponsored by Hummer.

We will have to wait for the dunes. The two wheel drive and the crazy navigating in them will be new for Loeb. He might get caught out in the big sand. You can't just aim for the way point as the dunes are too big, you have to zig and zag and dodge big dunes which can cause navigating nightmares.

No, Robby does everything the hard way and then whines about rules and non production engines because he thinks there’s no way anyone could be doing it better or smarter than him. I always root for him but he’s his own worst enemy. He spent years in desert racing making his own trucks and shocks then he jumped in a…

Bo Dukes grandson has been found!

I couldn’t have said it better myself......

I know, so awesome right? At least once every 50 years, I guess they’re due.

Uhhhh. Yeah, cause Porsche and Corvette have been winning these races since the last century and Johnny come lately is gonna spank them all, right. The only way that happens is if IMSA gives them a favorable BoP to thank Ford for joining but Chevy and Porsche have been there forever so don’t expect that BoP setting to…

YES! My wife’s 98 Passat was an electronically challenged blunder car which made me long for lucas electronics. Windows rolling up and down on their own and then deciding to not work for a while but then deciding to work. To turn the radio down you had to actually turn it up because the controls decided to somehow…

I will be at K-1 Irvine later and you don’t wanna miss my incredible ineptness on full display for your viewing pleasure.
