This is not my video, but I found it interesting and thought others might too.

And portals?

For those wondering, Quinn has about $30k of aftermarket stuff bolted onto his truck to be able to survive this trail. This is definitely not the Raptor's natural habitat, haha.

Impressive nonetheless.

Not that I plan on doing the Rubicon, or anything super intense for that matter, but I want that rear tube slide he fabbed and installed.

What’s costs for the portals?

What’s costs for the portals?

$17k, if I recall.

 

[FairOaksRaptor]

Oh that’s not bad actually, I thought was $35k plus.

I could save a couple years and then the 37s…

I’m curious what front brakes that RR is running. They do not look stock.

74weld has two kits on their site. Neither looks like it increases the rotor diameter much, if at all.

You should be able to do the trail for way less money. I was able to do the whole Rubicon in my 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD OFFROAD with just a 2.5" lift and 35" tires and all the armor you can think of.

But the kit does come with upgraded calipers because the kit replaces your rotors.

Basically agreed, the RR just has more clearance issues compared to a 3rd gen Taco. And the question of how much damage you're willing to tolerate...

The way the rear lower control arms & armor is setup on a RR, plus the slightly low out-of-plane-gas tank, plus lower stock clearance in general poses some issues (imo) you don't really have to worry about with a Taco, where you can just slide over and around obstacles.

I concur. The RR does sit lower than the 3rd gen Tacoma. I already banged up the gas tank plastic skid, exhaust, and the rear lower links where they mount near by front. I already bent one of the rear lower links also. lol. But if you have this all covered in armor and change the rear lower links to the solid aluminum. It should be doable with no body damage... Just need good spotter.

So we probably should go without spotter… you’re only as good as your spotter….
Cheers to the alllt he good spotters out there!!!
