That’s good to know! No issues so far, but the snow is finally off the bigger mountain trails so I’m excited to test them out aired down in rougher terrain soon.
I actually had method 702’s with bead grip on my Tacoma. Was definitely a fan but I’m not routinely airing down to crazy low pressures (often around 20-22 psi). Bead always held, but then again I’ve never lost a bead on either of my 2 builds before my Tacoma. My “high speed” running is often...
Regarding high speed stuff, I got some rear travel position sensor guards from Ark and installed them earlier this summer.

Thanks! Mine are RCI frame mounted sliders. 5° with top plate. My wife is only 5’2”, and it’s nice to stand on the back of them when messing with the tent, so that’s why I chose 5°. Sliders are what I hit the least (skids the most). 3 hour install with a friend, but wasn’t too bad...
Totally agree. All vehicles are a compromise of some sort, and the RR has a couple of very minor compromises, but no deal breakers for me. All while being an absolute beast. Also, up here we have massive (massssive) frost heaves and broken pavement on some of the remote paved highways. Fully...
As I entered summer and the white north thawed out, it was time to test my camping system to see how it would work on long road trips (on some really crappy roads). Having read everything about suspension modifications for these vehicles, and knowing that I have a highly variable payload in the...
Interior-wise, all I have done is add a ram track from tackform above the center display. I routinely rely on a Garmin overlander for navigation (trails, camps, where to find fresh water, etc) and also mount my Garmin inreach up there for communication when I’m out of cell signal for days at a...
My next concern was armor, because the vehicle is pretty wide and squat. Previously only did steel skids, going for ARB ones because they were a little bit lighter than super thick steel options for my Tacoma. I beat the crap out of them and they never cared. For the raptor though, because I...
I really wanted the ride feel to stay as close to stock as possible since I was so impressed with my initial testing. So that was the goal. I off road a lot, but I think people often think “lift” immediately, and then it is a big game of compromise. I wanted to do as little as possible to...
Hey everyone! I’m new here, and just wanted to document my use of my 2025 Ranger Raptor and some things that have worked great for me as I use it to travel around the remote northern parts of North America.
I’ve utilized this forum a fair bit during my “build” process, learned a lot as I went...
