Hey all, glad to see so many full size rigs here! Here is my 2018 Raptor.

I've actually really enjoyed your build thread, you have put a lot of time and resources into that setup and it shows. How is your rig holding up to overlanding?

Thanks! It has been an amazing learning process and has been rewarding, albeit frustrating at times. It is holding up really well with some systems needing iterations. Particularly the rear suspension on the Raptor is not designed for heavy loads. I finally got it dialed in with a custom built leaf spring pack from Deaver and a frame brace with nitrogen bump stops from RPG. My issue is that I carry a lot of weight (over prepared, former Fire Medic and certified gear junky). I wanted the Overlanding capability with out loosing the Raptor capabilities. Bottom line, this thing is an incredibly capable all around machine that I am thrilled with!

Not too bad unless the sunroof is open. The lightbar is the culprit for wind noise. For daily driving I tilt it down so it doesn’t howl!
