Alex Raptor

Please place me on waitlist 2nd Drive

Hi, I have my Raptor now, and have a great deal on getting the ford performance beadlock rings which will bolt on, albeit 24 times with 3 sets of torque wrench settings, I'm running stock forged wheels and KO2 tires. Watching the US YouTube videos, it seems that running in the desert deadlocks are preferred, will it make any difference to my on road driving experience, which unfortunately will still be the majority of the time, is there a big difference for a truck running at 17-20 on the sand and the bare minimums that deadlocks should provide? Thanks in advance, also if anyone knows of any good tire garages that will fit them properly with the correct torque wrench settings as well, that would be appreciated.

Hats off to @Wrangeld and @Tamas Hoffmann, can't fault the professionalism and organisation, knew exactly what was going on and what was expected at all times, throughly enjoyed ourselves this morning. For my next one can I now go on a newbie drive?

Perfect, looking forward to it, might need two minutes Wrangeld in the morning to sort out what to switch off on the raptor etc. looks like most raptors put it in mud/sand mode which locks the diff and 4H, you can then press the TC button for a few seconds to turn off even more stuff.I am a bit anal on the social distancing thing, so I'm not being rude if anyone thinks I'm being standoffish and spraying sanitizer everywhere.

Hi I have driven land rovers in the mud most years, I also have a can am maverick XR rrs and or Polaris buggy for the last 8 years here in dubai, and go out to fossil rock and around the big red area, I have lead groups on the buggies. However I have not driven a full size 4x4 in the desert with any purpose, only on the beach.

Hi, no spoilers and 4 glistening tow hooks fully naked and exposed. Looking forward to it.
