What a great video brother, I think you should start a series where you go out and visit dudes with built Raptors. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will make sure to do a mass share to all my social media peeps.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

That’s a great idea. Definitely want to start featuring more builds on the channel.

[@piltg8568]

Yes, I agree with that , going to see raptor builds but not just walk arounds but seeing them in action , that would separate your channel from some others out there that just walk around. I watched all 50 minutes of this. This is definitely the direction that the Gen 3 should of gone, I agree with you they need more suspension to match the HP. Great video PILTPILTPILT

I hope so man. We don’t advertise or push our content to anyone. I would rather have organic growth than a bunch of fake followers

[@jasgap]

@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad maybe some Tacoma stuff or other vehicles to get a different audience, I have to say I have learned a lot with your Vids, I have a Navara, with custom mid travel on the front (12”) with 2.5 radflo’s, 5 link rear also with 2.5(13”), now I’m thinking of getting a USDM truck, for more travel, that said I’m on the fence, since the terrain is nothing like yours. Also loved your SDI videos.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks man. A lot of the maintenance we do is across the board for all rigs. I am researching options for a more budget build to go play with Raptors. Maybe an old 4 runner or something like that

[@Chinese_Chicken]

Bruh, @25:20 your kid picked his nose and put a boogie in his mouth... yuck mouth right there. And yeah, harnesses suck. Especially when someone else just used em. Retractable harnesses are pretty damn convenient.

Great vid and amazing seeing how well that truck works! Hope one day I'll have a HM built truck in the stable!!

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks man. The design of strength of his kits always blows me away. Hope to get his front kit in my truck someday

[@Ivan-ld5zh]

Hi, I just want to know where I could buy one, I’ve searched for their website incessantly, but it doesn’t come up

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

HM will be getting he site up soon. But he’s a small shop. His contact info is below if you want a quote, and soon we will be helping him sell and quote these kits.

[@mariooliver9110]

Amazing episode Helio. Great job, tons of info about the build. Now I feel like stopping by their shop 🤪.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

You’ll be blown away by the build man. And it’s way more impressive in person.

[@andrewvenditelli152]

What kind of issues has he had with the eco boosts? Curious why he’s so down on them. Insane truck build though! Thanks for the video.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Will have to ask him man. I know the ecoboost platform don’t like heavy HP. And you need at least 600-700 HP to push 40s at a decent speed.

[@delaarenapresacanario9526]

This is literally vehicle porn for me. I'm on my second viewing. please go around the country when you have the chance and break down builds like these, there aren't enough on KZbin with this much detail.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks man. Same here. Planning on it. Got a look at a blitskrieg long travel kit that I will have up on the channel in a few weeks

[@adguru2010]

Kevin @ HM builds the nicest stuff... and once you've been in a real pre-runner... even a full mid travel Raptor is slow...

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Dude, I so want a pre runner.

[@Electrocycle300]

I rode in this pea green dominatrix. Wow! Just insane. Every aspect, even down to the fact that it costs more than most Houses in USA.

🤣🤣 it’s an amazing build for sure.

[@JaimePorras87]

Damn man I can't wait to be able to buy a beautiful build like this!! Great video and awesome truck man!!

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks man. This video was a lot of fun to put together

[@SweetMooch]

Idk if they do but the only way I could buy a prerunner is if they made long travel that had valving that didn't sound like a crackhead on a typewriter.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

🤣🤣🤣 no such thing. Bypass shocks just make noise by design. Some more than others. But they all noisy.

[@littlefarmer32]

Man that is a sharp looking truck. If I could only afford to hand my 2012 SVT to these guys, and say build me a prerunner. Have fun

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Almost did myself. Would have to sell the house just to afford it. But the truck is amazing!!

[@Ivan-ld5zh]

What was that horrible rattling sound in the cage??

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

🤣🤣 those are the shocks. Bypass race shocks click and clack like that. The sound is the bypass valves doing their job and a noise you will always hear offroad. The noise is made worse by the cage. Those shocks are connected to the cage and that cage tuning resonated the sound in the cab. If you do a non caged truck with his long travel kits you get similar performance with not as much sound in the cab. You can hear some of it yeah, but not as much.

[@KAZ109]

Love the build just hate when ppl take a F150 build it then steal the Raptor looks. If u want a “ superior F150 with a 5.0 then be proud of that. Don’t try to pretend it’s a Raptor by making it look like one. Again not saying the build isn’t badass, it’s second to none

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

They don’t make an F150 styled fold out fiberglass hood. No one would buy it 🤷‍♂️. And let’s be honest here man. This is far superior than a raptor. Does not matter if the base is an f150 or not. This truck is on a whole other level and the styling don’t matter

[@KAZ109]

There is no denying this is better than a Raptor or Raptor R… TRX …. Hell a TRX Redeye ( if they make it lol) my point was it always seems ppl want to copy the looks then call it a Raptor killer ( in this case rightfully so)

[@tjstull8145]

I am officially saving my money for these upgrades. UNREAL. Just take my money lol gona go get some lottery tickets I’ll be back

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

🤣🤣 I had the same reaction.

[@Bizeast]

Amazing video! How noticeable is the clicking from the bypass valves when riding in the cab? I'm assuming it's exaggerated in the frame mounted Gopro footage since the bypass shocks are also mounted to the frame. Always wondered about that. Thanks and I hope one of these builds is in your channels future! Looks like a perfect tax deductible business expense to me. "work truck"😉

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

You can hear it in the cab. In the clips in this video you can hear it. It can get loud, specially when your going fast down the trail and that’s why head sets are a must offroad with these trucks. They do insulate the cab with dynamat material but because the shocks are connected to the frame and cage, all the noise cannot be dampened out of the cab. That’s why full cage builds are not for everyone

[@justinm.791]

Having grown up playing and racing in the desert I'm very familiar with offroad racing. When compared to a regular truck with bolt on stuff the level of performance this truck has is on another level. Also IMO anyone who build their trucks with this long travel kit must include a legit cage... If you ball it up at the speeds the truck would be capable of and not have a cage... you're gonna look like spaghetti when it comes to a stop.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Totally agree. This level of performance requires the cage.

[@Electrocycle300]

Kevin is one of my closest friends. He’s a hell of a guy. The kinda guy you call when you’re in jail in Morocco. He will make shit happen. He’s like military and one of the sharpest knives in the drawer. His trucks, of course, are better than “the best”. we took a ride in this truck on a hardware run for parts when building my spare & trunk setup. Holy Sheet this thing is like- a 7000lb drag strip car that can go ANYWHERE. it was one of the most exhilarating rides I’ve been in, and I’ve raced Baja. Yeah. These things are worth every bit of $350,000. Too bad I can’t afford one!!! 😮 one can dream though. Haha.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Totally agree man. Solid dude and amazing builder. First time I saw his trucks, I knew they were different. Everything I tried to get other companies to add to me truck for reinforcements was the standard for his kit. We just need to win the lottery and get them made

[@blakewilliams9642]

I have owned my 5.4 raptor for 9 years. Im thinking of upgrading to a roush raptor. Or should I swap a coyote or a 6.2 in my truck ?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

That’s a tough one man. Coyote is by far the best option because of the aftermarket for it. But raptors are hard to pass up yoo

[@zachdavis5394]

Kevin built my truck and I can attest to you he stands behind his work and products. Best decision I've made with a vehicle. My truck and suspension is totally awesome!

[@Texasbroski512]

Would love to see an extended cab

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

He’s built a few. He has a 3 recon builds in the pipeline, all extended cab with one that should be done soon and we will do a video on it

[@searching4answers]

This is a really awesome video!! I needed clarification on the talk about 1-point harnesses. You should include a HANS device if you do anything greater than the standard 3-point harness. A 4-point without a HANS device is more dangerous than a 3-point without a HANS device. Is this true?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Our discussions was about roll cages. Anything last a standard seat belt should not be used unless you have a roll cage. As for the hans decide, I honestly don’t know. I know it could not hurt to have one but most prerunner owners are not wearing a helmet or HANS device. Only those that are racing competitively do. And at that point safety equipment is dictated by the racing organization

[@johnmorrison8351]

So, $300k? More? This is so, so cool! 🤤 Makes my mildly modded Gen2 look like a work trim truck

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Look at the massive trucks that race Dakar. Definitely possible. Just not sure most cabinets in a RV style setup would last the abuse of hitting whoops fast. The vibrations and Gs the truck hit are huge

[@Buy_My_Raptor]

You were 100% when you teased this in the Raptor R video. Getting a custom build like this is way better than the R or TRX. For all those poor souls with the problem of having more money than they know what to do with 😂😂😂

Right!! And they are very close in price. At least they will be once the Raptor R finally hits driveways. I would rather have this truck than the R.

Was planning to go full SVC 4link with front mid travel kit but now…

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

SVC linked kit still has its place man. Specially if you don’t want a caged truck. But the HM kit is something else man. More travel up front in 2wd, the reinforcement they do is next level (no other shop does this much), and it’s race proven design.

[@patriotarmament7407]

Will your products support the 1st gen,?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

HM suspension kits are for all Raptors and F150s. Since the shock bucket is completely replaced and the whole area is reinforced, they kit can fit any late model ford truck as the front frame geometry without the shock buckets is the same.

[@meatball123d]

So sick! Any idea what the green color is called? Thanks

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

I think it’s army green or something like that. I’ll check with HM and if they know I’ll Post it here

[@ricktorres545]

The thumbnail catch my attention, because I'm trying to build a homemade ford "cobra" (wanna be raptor). So I'm getting ideas on how to diy build the bulge fenders and bed sides. I'm a jeweler so I'm not sure what I'm doing here. But also have experience pouring concrete, framing walls, drywall, flooring, welding, abit of electrician experience, plumbing and every week I cut my own hair 😎. So I'm confident I can tackle my next project. But mannnn when I saw the Mexican flag on that fender, it gave me the goosebumps. Much respect for you brotha. If I ever win the lottery I'll order one just like that green beast. Saludos amigo from Dallas TX

[@raulgallardo5140]

So your truck built the way it is really wouldnt be able to take that terrain at least at half the speed the HM truck was going? Or is it because your suspension isnt tuned for that currently?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

My truck can take on whoops that are about 1-1.5 ft deep. With tuning I may be able to go a little deeper but not much. At Barstow you have whoops that are 2-3 ft deep and you need race truck suspension to handle those fast. I don’t have enough suspension travel and my back is bucking way too much to handle those.

Quick question. If one wanted just the suspension, can you get that without getting the cage or the V8?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Cage is required for the rear suspension. Can’t do that much travel without a cage. But he was a version of the front kit for non caged trucks prices similar to your typical bolt kit / mid travel kit. That’s the 92 and 94 kit he was talking about

But the Raptor R is more of a truck that's built for status lol. That truck is just a flex. So you can pull up to the Chevron and look around you to see what amateurs are checking you out while you pump gas.

What’s the difference between a pre runner and a trophy truck

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Frame, Windshields and AC. Trophy trucks are usually a full custom tube chassis with no windows and no comfort features. Body is all fiberglass too A prerunner is based on a frame truck and cab. Most of the frame is removed and or reinforced and you keep comfort features like AC, stereo, windshield, etc…. So it’s the more drivable truck. Trophy truck has to be trailered everywhere while a prerunner can be driven around the streets

Thanks for replying yes there is I've started looking into so glad I came across your channel.

Sounds like a horse going through the whoops

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

🤣🤣 a very happy horse

I have a h&m racing design on my 2013 ford raptor and it is a great kit.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Everyone I know that has his kits is super happy

[@porroco]

The only think is that i would rather fox QAB than king shocks. I have RPG RST18 with 3.5” fox QAB and is very easy to tweak

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

You have to the the first I’ve heard say that while the fox valves are easer too adjust, everyone raves that the kings perform better out of the box. Some shops just prefer fox, because that’s what they know. While others swear by kings. Kings are a little more difficult to adjust. But they are also easier to service and it’s easier to get parts for them. I personally wish I was on Kings after my experience with thess race fox and trying to get parts from Fox

[@DanielRodriguez-vq8ee]

So H&M is back and running? I’ve been wanting a kit from them for my 10th gen so bad

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Yeah man. Back and without the old partner. Just Kevin and a great kid that’s helping him and he’s improving on his kits to make them the very best kit on the market for F150s and Raptors

[@DanielRodriguez-vq8ee]

@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad yeah man I know, after seeing the juggernaut and other f150s blasting through whoops I knew what kit I wanted , but yeah I’m glad they’re back I’m business, I know where my money is going

Hey did you know he travel to panama central america to build my kit on the 2013 ford raptor.

The young fella looked scared

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

🤣🤣 it think it’s more surprised than anything. We both were not expecting to be so fast and so violent. These trucks absolutely need cages and 5 point harnesses and we have just never experienced anything like it.

[@suesstech]

Awesome video!! Very thorough..

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Thanks

[@Zunigamotorsports2012]

They’re 3 big guys who build 10r80s that last in the racing world! He didn’t mentioned who’s tuning this thing. With only making 400 wheel even on 40s I can tell ya, it ain’t anyone good. Which means the tranny tuning ain’t great ether. That’ll hurt that tranny too, tuning is number one….make or break it.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

We did talk about how the 10 speed Transmission is the biggest limiting factor here. So not sure what your talking about.

[@RonnieBravo_]

No.... Thats not how you define long travel. With stock buckets is bolt-on long travel kit. When new shock mounts are needed along with other custom components, that's called a "race kit."

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

I’ve talked to quite a few shops and they all agree with what we mentioned here man. Long travel means no stock shock buckets

[@patriotarmament7407]

That is a SICK TRUCK,!!!!! Dayum,!!!!

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

It’s even more impressive in person. HM builds some works of art

May be your best work to date. Tell him when I win lotto I’m buying that truck. I love the color too.

@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad but, but, I need one for the mean streets of the suburbs of NYC.

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Oh man, will it even fit in the streets out there?

[@dylanjones8433]

what is the reason a 5 point harness on something without a cage dangerous?

[@KeepItDirtyOffRoad]

Anything more than a 1 point lap belt gives you a false sense of security. You may think you can run faster than the capabilities of the truck and if and when you get in trouble, the stock roof cannot handle a roll over. With conventional seats belts or a lap belt, if you roll you can move out of the way and stay safe. With a 5 point harness your strapped in and your dead the moment the roof collapses and you cannot get out of the way. There is no cage to keep the roof from collapsing on you and killing your.
