[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1592612, member: 25186"] I'll be clear: some mega-built raptor is 150% NOT required. We have folks bring stock trucks on a regular basis. one of the regulars has been mobbing a stock roush raptor on 35s on every trip for the past few years. please don't be intimidated by the trucks that show in the videos ( including mine.) I generally run sweep. That means that my job is to make sure that no one is left behind, if something is broken it gets fixed, and coordinating recovery with the other crew members if we have a mechanical that I'm not able to trail fix. If there is someone going at a more leisurely pace, I just hang out and have a sandwich or something while I let the gap build. If I catch the person in front of me, I stop and wait. There is no requirement to "keep up" with anyone. We're all going to the same place. it isn't a race, it is fun. By the afternoon of the first day, the entire group tends to naturally settle into an order that works. I would recommend a bump stop kit if you can swing it. it'll save your back if you make a mistake. Outside of that, just make sure that you have a way to secure anything in the bed with ratchet straps. It is a good idea to secure anything that is hard or would hurt a person in the bed. Usually, you can simply use the seatbelts to tie down your luggage inside the cab. I'd just recommend maybe using soft luggage. [/QUOTE]
