What Moab trip was that? I only recall FrogSlinger's trip there (it was the Frogger right?). Can you throw me a link to that trip and the pics?

These have been floating around for nearly a year. Rumor had it these were 6.2 test trucks that the SVT guys were putting thru their paces. I don't think it was ever 'official' news. I've only ever seen references to it in forum form.

Each tool has it's purpose. I'd much rather run the crossover road in my Raptor than a jeep. It just depends on the situation.

those pics are from a ford sponsored event for auto journalists to review the new 2012 changes that were supposed to turn the raptor into the ultimate 4x4 (torsen front diff)...

im gonna have to agree on all the points made in this thread, unless you are running some proper gear on your rig (trimmed panels, exo cage, etc) you are most likely going to drive away from some of the trails mentioned here with some custom body work/paint.

(exo cage not required!)

Ershim Dusy is a great trail. Can a Raptor make it? Probably, but not without some serious damage.
I wouldn't take a Raptor on Ershim Dusy, and I wouldn't prerun a race with my old Jeep TJ.
Use the right tool for the job...

Good thread especially for the guys who don't have much/any off road experience as I think there are some pointers here that, if listened to, will help folks save their Raptors from $eriou$ damage.
