Pretty rad seeing papadakis offroading. I grew up watching him in the late 90s breaking records for fwd cars when i used to have a 90 accord w/an h22 swap running 15s. Now i have a few 911s and a 430 scuderia. However, offroading is what i love doing most currently in my raptor and hemi swapped jk. Keep it up Larry

Each crazy build you shoot is unique and so much credit is due to the builders who breathe life back into stories long forgotten. However, this was you guys just being, in a beautiful corner of the country, having fun with the kids. Thanks for sharing p.s. lockers bro, c'mon now

Its always funny to watch less experienced drivers go off-road, especially when giving callouts. "left, left, no right, no, your right, my left, no go the other way" "Driver" and "passenger" can never go wrong.

Full size double cab trucks are only good on fairly flat fire roads. Hitting real mountain trails, even Tacomas get a little on the large side. There is a reason that there is a whole community out there that are nuts over modded old Suzuki Samurai’s. Just don’t tell the raptor fanboys, many actually think that they have the ultimate off road machine. That being said, if you want to go fairly fast along a fairly flat fire road, the Raptors do fairly well.
