Welcome to the Colorado Raptor herd. Lot's of great trails in the state to play on.

Done this one and it's fun. Some sand to be aware of. Would be a bit of a cruise from Denver. Several fun trails in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. Try Hayden Pass as it starts on one side of the mountain and ends up on the other side so no need to turn around.

Great books for finding 4 wheel trails in Colorado as mentioned by Denvertaco07. They recently published the Fourth Edition - Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails and another one that is the Northern Colorado Edition. Highly recommended for finding great trails in Colorado. They...

Any idea why my truck 2013 SCREW alarm goes off for no reason when I lock it an leave it? Happens at my house, when camping, etc. Drives me crazy to not be able to lock it up without the alarm sounding with nothing near the truck to set it off. Anyone else had this issue?

I have a 2 ton lightweight aluminum floor jack that I store under the rear seat. So much easier to get to and use than the stock jack.

I've been running the Goodyear Duratrac tires on both my 2013 Raptor and previous F150 4X4. A whole lot quieter than the MT Bajas that were on my Beast before and run great in the snow, on ice and off road. I live in Colorado and have been hitting most of the offroad passes out here. Good grip...

The Beast

Got my tires at Big O and they had no problems working with actual beadlock rims.

Two great books to read and reference by a good friend of mine, Bob Wohlers. The Total Approach of Getting Unstuck Off Road: 4WD Self-Recovery & Vehicle-Assisted Recovery https://www.amazon.com/dp/1096466414/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 Raising Your 4WD Vehicle Off-Road & In-Field Tire Repair...

I don't know....**** Happens. I've owned a couple vehicles that caught on fire. Flammable objects like paper and plastic don't do well around catalytic converters. Wiring issues are probably the biggest culprit. With the number of vehicles out there and the miles of wiring in current day...

Great to own a Raptor in your favorite color. Of the reds I do like the Ruby Metallic. A bit of a candy apple to it. Colorado Springs on the foothills of the Rockies. Yep, dozens of Mulies in the yard every day. Cruised up to Estes Park a few weeks ago and saw herds of Elk in the hundreds. Out...

2013 Blue Flame. I'm personally stuck on Gen 1 for now cuz I love the V8. Can't get away from the way the Beast rumbles then growls when I accelerate. I love the blue cuz it stands out. Not a fan of the black, white or red trucks. Nothing against them, again, to each their own. Hell, if I were...

I'm in Colorado so I do get to do some pretty cool offroading. Not the same as in the desert going fast, but do that when I visit family in Vegas. She loves the dirt, snow, rocks, whatever. Even on the street she is a fun truck to drive. I've had dozens of trucks and this one is more fun and...

Either you love to drive it, or you don't. No matter, it's just another machine we big kids get to play with. Damn, I think they fly through the dirt fine right out of the box. Never understood all the expensive mods, but that's just me. Love to drive in the dirt and this toy is one of the most...
