Update: Installed the Icon leaf springs (option 2) and Geiser springs (2.5"). Truck is fully loaded with sliders and sits level. Very happy with the current setup, rides great and ready for some more 'extreme' offroading.

Just picked up some leafs from Icon Warehouse sale. Once I get the balance of the parts and settle on front coils, we'll get them installed.

I have a 2020 Raptor built to enjoy overlanding. Obviously differences between this and the standard F-150 platform, but happy to share what I have learned building out multiple vehicles. Link to my OB Page: Click Here

I wish they were speakers! They're actually covers for the bed tie-downs that are integrated into the plastic bed protector.

Raptor has received a little more protection! White-Knuckle Offroad now has sliders that will bolt to your Gen2 Raptor frame. These look completely "OE" and provide enough of a step so that the wife doesn't complain. The team at White-Knuckle is super and were fantastic to work with. Check...

Many will question why someone would want to add rock sliders to a Raptor. So let's begin with the intended usage for my Raptor. Coming from a 2017 Toyota Tacoma, that was built for family camping and "Overlanding", the Raptor was purchased to give additional in-cab space and more power. Having...

Working on a pretty exciting collaboration for the Raptor... As far as I have been able to find, SDHQ is the only company offering a frame-mounted slider for the Gen2 Raptor. Unfortunately, they only offer sliders that weld to the frame. My preference is a bolt-on slider. After reaching out...

I didn't really consider a cap. Living in SoCal, dealing with weather is not really an issue. With the Leitner Rack Pods, I can keep some basic items locked in these. The only "cap" that has caught my attention, recently, is the Go Fast Camper V2 Platform. It incorporates a cap and RTT, but...

After doing a 1,300 mile road trip, including the Mojave Road with 4 people and gear, this is on my short list of upgrades. I was sagging enough (~1.5-2") to make me concerned. The only thing preventing me from upgrading now is the cost (~$1,500) and the possibility of having to re-program the...

Having the RTT above the roof line of my cab was one of my concerns before picking the rack. I haven't had it on there long, but really haven't noticed any difference. I think if I was putting on a lot of miles, I'd probably notice the mpg hit. Long-term, I plan on getting a hardtop RTT that...

True, plenty of factory-provided switches in the engine bay. For ease of wiring items from the bed of the truck, I put the sPod in the Leitner Pod. That way I could run one set of cables from the battery back to the Pod and wire up lights, compressor and anything else I need. My sPod also has...
