Howdy, We were the only Raptor with my wife's '13 SCREW. Why was that? This was our first real off-roading event with our Raptor. It was like we invaded a Jeep Jamboree! I tell you what though, we held our own on the few trails we went on.

We were mid pack or towards the front. Nobody ever had to wait for us. And I'm a total Noob to off-road. Took the 4x4 101 class on Thursday, they said we were the biggest vehicle they ever had in the class! Bedrack and tent are Yakima. I left 'em on to test the setups efficacy. It held up awesome. We had 14 degree uphill climbs, 15 degree down, and @ 1 time 20 degrees laterally. That one made my wife a bit nervous.....it's her Raptor! At first the creation of desert pin stipes were leaving her quite silent, which always concerns me. I think she's over it though. We had a blast! This 1st time out we didn't attempt anything tougher than a level 4 trail. I just need to invest in a CB and onboard air now.
