    Just got back from the beach camp. Not a lot of places where you can drive up to a wild beach and camp like this. Seems all the great beaches have been confiscated by hotels and such. Hopefully our little spot of paradise stays undiscovered for a long time to come. One of our mates caught a...

    That was just fog, have had a couple sand storms and i don't recommend as they suck just a bit. That spot was about midway between abu dhabi and hameem about 50 kms from the paved roads

    Finally got our first couple of camps in for this season. Has been a long summer waiting for it to get cool enough again to get out there. 2 weekends ago was a beach camp not far from the Saudi border. As it was still a little warm we thought at least having the water would provide a little...

    Have you read the owners manual and Raptor Supplment? "Sand: When driving over sand, try to keep all four wheels on the most solid area of the trail. Avoid reducing the tire pressures but shift to a lower gear and drive steadily through the terrain. Apply the accelerator slowly and avoid...

Camping season is just around the corner for us here in the United Arab Emirates and we're excited to get back in the sand.

    Whip flag mount assistance needed

    Finally managed to get my flag mount sorted. designed for CB antenna but the fitment is spot on for the whip flag as well. Exactly what I was looking for and no modification required. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X3C9EY/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

    GEN 2 Looking for opinions on airing down for the beach

    I usually run at about 15psi in the deserts here in the UAE. All of our camping spots are at least 30 miles off road and mostly soft dune sand all the way. I had been considering the up down air system to connect to my ARB twin but didnt care for the idea of popping holes in my truck. I ended...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Finally got my canvas back rear floor covers. Gotta say the fit is spot on. Only little gripe would be the seat bottoms have cutouts where the release handles were on older models... hopefully this will help make getting rid of the dog hair a bit easier...

    Great post and informative. wish i had read it before i took my truck out to the dunes the first time. To get to our favorite spot to camp about 100 miles from Abu Dhabi we have to take about 20 miles of gas track which is basically one long fricking sand/dirt washboard. Thought to myself...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    A little curious about the compressor set up... was looking to something similar with mine. Want to run power to the bed so I can connect up the fridge and compressor. Looks like you have your air lines on opposite side of the bed from the compressor, did you run the lines under the truck to...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Day 2 of camp not quite as nice as day 1. By the way sleeping two in the cab of a scab is not conducive to a good night's sleep.. wind got up just a bit.. sustained winds of 30knts and periods where it was gusting up to 50knts.

    Traded in my 6.2l v8 f150, having the v6 sound piped in is a bit weird for me. The v8 you could hear without assistance... don't get me wrong... the power is there and all but nothing sounds as good as a well tuned 8cyl
