Winter off-road event at Apple Valley Farms in New Auburn, WI in my 2022 Gen 3 F150 Raptor.

That looked like a ton of Fun! I could feel your pain when those branches give you a little bit of Love😂😢

[@gearzgadgets5872]

That noise is definitely cringe-worthy!

[@chuckweeks8906]

Where how do you guys set up your runs? I'm WI as well in my Gen 1

[@gearzgadgets5872]

You are nearby! The runs that I go on are usually arranged on the twin cities raptor owners Facebook page. The page name is TCRO: Twin Cities Raptor Owners.

[@georgen2004]

nice run! what camera or phone mount did you use for this?

[@gearzgadgets5872]

All the filming was on a GoPro Hero 10 Black with hypersmooth stabilization. It takes great footage. In the parts where the camera is looking out the windshield and you only see the hood, it was in a windshield mount. The times you can see the dash and instrument cluster, I'm just holding the camera in a stick mount.

You guys need kinetic straps. Should helped a lot more than the basic strap...

[@gearzgadgets5872]

All we use are kinetic straps. I was using a Bubba Rope brand 7/8" diameter 20' kinetic recovery strap when pulling on the blue Gen 2. He was pretty buried and it was an uphill pull because the snow got much deeper down hill from him.

Do you still use the Mickey Thompson tire and wheel package?

[@gearzgadgets5872]

Yeah, I still have the 18" weld wheels with Mickey Thompson's. I swapped the stock set back on for the salty Minnesota winter, but the Mickey's will be going back on in a month or so. Spring can't come soon enough.

[@jdub1139]

How do your Micky Thompson’s compare to the stock BFG KO2’s in terms of road noise?

[@bassslacker2157]

Anyone with 37's in Your group? Wandering how they performed in the tough area in the corn stubble?

[@gearzgadgets5872]

There were a couple gen 3's with 37's. They normally have a bit of an advantage, but ground clearance wasn't really the issue in snow conditions that day. Underneath the crust, the snow was just like sand. Wheel speed and momentum seemed to be the key to getting through it. I aired down to about 22psi, but probably should have gone a bit lower. Also, the lighter weight vehicles had a bit less trouble. I don't think the red Bronco on 35's ever got stuck.

Nice to see the Gen 3 out in the snow! I shot this one last week, not much snow in NM right now however :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJrLqp56mbB9oaM
