Finally an off-road video at speed not crawling over rocks!! Love the Baja action!

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

13:43 This is the best ad ever for whatever stabilization tool is being used on that camera lol.

[@Exodus4x4]

😂 to be fair the truck is pretty smooth, but the GoPro12 did its job

[@stevesguns]

Raptor is King for this type of stuff.

[@user-xn7fu5pe7f]

Looking sweet! Love what you are doing with the Raptor Ranger, cant wait for more.

[@executive_coach_andyobrien1827]

For sale 2022 Gladiator- Looking for a Raptor! 😂😢😢😂 Awesome Video and build..

[@DeadGame0234]

Kick ass video, thoroughly enjoyed it 🤙 At 3,000 miles on mine and been giving her hell. Can’t wait to tune it

[@DavidFigs]

Well looks like I got my parts list! Awesome video and amazing build, see you guys in Texas soon

[@craftwerks5644]

Right at 12:11 that's us sitting in our chairs next to our trailer watching y'all take off!

[@Shortarmslonglegs]

Nice work Bubba

[@chrislarsen1033]

Awesome

[@Exodus4x4]

Thanks Chris!

[@lloydrage]

Very impressive build !

[@caryrichardson338]

Tire sledge hammer works too. As long as you don’t hit your wheel bad enough to damage it.

[@Tony-hf9mv]

Got 9236 miles on my ranger raptor. Savannah to moab and everywhere in-between. Conquered Hell's revenge with it stock. Might want to look into getting the trans bullet proofed. Mine has slipped 3rd 5 times already. Seems to only happen on light throttle but it shouldn't happen at all One thing that really needs changed is that 107 speed limiter. Thru Texas and New Mexico at 80 and 85 (90-95) speed limits there isn't much room for passing

[@Exodus4x4]

Good info. I know SunCoast has some kits that will do that, I’ll reach out to them!

[@Raven00714]

I love mine too

[@fields_day]

Every time you say the tie rods are little pieces of shit it makes me crack up 😂

[@Exodus4x4]

I’m sure Ford appreciates me

[@GearUpAndGo23]

You forgot the most important mod of all, window ventshades.

[@Exodus4x4]

Ugh, seen it

[@GatorOverland]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@Travisj9935]

Not all of us won the lottery. Perch level will just ruin the suspension 🙄 Looks like it rides like you added tons of preload.

[@CoyoteCartel412]

Perch collars have been used for YEARS on Raptor F150s and love valve systems. Absolutely nothing wrong with a perch collar.

[@pcoakle1]

Man that leveling makes a huge difference and those are some outstanding upgrades. Would you care to share approximate cost to do these upgrades? Everything you did totally made sense to beef up the front-end. I'm about 900 miles into my new RR and I love it.

[@Exodus4x4]

Everything you see in this video would probably run around $14k installed. I never put the price in the videos because as soon as I do, someone will probably change the price

[@slimtim04]

Does that include wheels/tires?

[@joshz7712]

I don't have a RR yet, ordering early 2025. I'm planning a build. I already know what to do cause i had a 19 Raptor, but the RR is something I've wanted since i knew about it.

[@Exodus4x4]

It’s so good

[@joshz7712]

@@Exodus4x4 I never thought of replacing the steering column, honestly tho, I don't trust mechanic shops in my area and my RR is going to be my daily.

[@DUNEATV]

I think my eyes have turned into dollar signs and my eyelids are making cash register sounds… 💰

[@jessitaylor4170]

Sweet upgrades, will you be doing any performance upgrades to it?

[@Exodus4x4]

Oh for sure, waiting a little longer to see who rises to the top before jumping on anything. Some big numbers out there though.

[@711mx3]

Amazing, any cutting required for the 35's? Got 35's on mine with 2" spacers and they rub on the inside.

[@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson]

What rear axle is in the Ranger Raptor? D50 like the Bronco Raptor?

[@mdhandley11]

what would you suggest for someonr that wants to just stick with the 33 inch tires? would you still level it? would you still replace the rack and tie rods?

[@scottloone528]

How many hours of labor is this conversion?

[@66racer]

Dang, ok thats how it should have come from the factory. 35s do the trick. A stock Raptor pulled up next to me the other day and it just wasn't that impressive looking. This thing would have me trading in my '21 Ranger lol

[@Exodus4x4]

Thank you!

[@66racer]

@@Exodus4x4 I'm not as rough on my truck but never seen anything like this for the gen5 Ranger. That rack is so dang nice. I was bummed to hear there are no gearing options for my Ranger outside of a diff swap. At least that is what APG told me.

[@manuelgarcia9790]

I’m a practical man what is this 2024 Ranger Raptor Bullet Proof modification going to cost the “Practical Man”?

[@jacquessmit8790]

I have the old bazda bt 50 3.0Lt crdi same as ford ranger pk 2007 to 2010 and the tie rod ens are so fucking weak its been a real problem and i cant seem to find stronger after market tie rods.

[@Tony-hf9mv]

I missed the texas raptor run but ran into a lot of people at the hotel who did it

[@Exodus4x4]

It was a blast, again!

[@2006lexusis250]

Would a 35 inch tire fit with a 17x8.5-10 offset wheel?

[@SoCalMikey]

Very cool, what's the cost of this job if we were you send you our RR?

[@bennyhauna7293]

For the ignorant one here.. (me. its totally me). When you add parts and all that jazz to all of the ford electronics, how do the different drive modes handle that? Do you have to install your own software to make up for it?

[@Exodus4x4]

No, you can adjust parameters using software that’s available online.

[@torana6531]

Did anything need trimming to put the wheel and Tyre choice?

[@Exodus4x4]

Yes there is some minor trimming that needs to be done, but we didn’t in the video. Took it straight offroad and found ALL the rubbing areas. All behind the tire

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

18:00 I was nearly sold on getting this truck over the Tacoma but then when TFL did their Moab test there were some really concerning things like the vehicle slipping on slopes and just falling down and being unable to climb up certain hills without engaging both front and rear lockers.

[@Exodus4x4]

I don’t really care to do anything with this truck that involves Moab and lockers lol

[@nihontoman]

Look at it this way - with the ranger, you have everything you need mechanically to do all that rock crawlly stuff and with the tacoma, you have a really good software trying it's best to imitate what the ranger has 😃

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

@@nihontoman In the TFL video it slipped really bad on the rocks. It literally slipped off the edge of a drop on a decline. In that situation it was just a straight down drop, but it could easily cause the vehicle to roll over.

[@nihontoman]

@@fiftyshadesofurban have not seen it, but slipping could also just be that - slipping. Maybe the tires didn't perform? What i want to say is, was it really because of some fault in the 4wd of the ranger?

[@seadoomania]

37 ? Give yourself an uppercut , it’s just a ranger braz

[@pmassey2]

You said on a budget, what's the price on all of the stuff you did?

[@Exodus4x4]

Budget is not the word I should’ve used to describe it. About $14k for all the parts you see in this video including install.

[@pmassey2]

@@Exodus4x4 I sure wish I had that much expendable right now, I'd love to do that to mine too.

[@zenhomeessentials1200]

Mate where to get the ford performance parts? I live in the UAE, is it possible for you to courier them here, couldn't find the parts online on ford's website.

[@TheZR2Kid]

Why do yall not do builds on the Chevy Colorado ZR2?

[@Exodus4x4]

The market doesn’t support it

[@TheZR2Kid]

@@Exodus4x4 Man that’s terrible because the ZR2 is such a great platform

[@jaredmeche6325]

@@Exodus4x4 Hopefully this 3rd gen changes that. They really went for Tacoma's throat with the ZR2.

[@Travisj9935]

​@@Exodus4x4wow really? Omg more people own Zr2 than Ranger raptor 😂

[@TheZR2Kid]

@@Travisj9935 EXACTLY! 😂

[@user-jp8mx1sp5v]

Better bulletproof that transmission 😅

[@richardagostino5085]

I mean it’s cool you fixed the factory garbage but compared to the other builds you usually do that was kinda lackluster 🤷‍♂️

[@Exodus4x4]

Thank I guess lol. Point of this video is to show what NEEDS to be done at minimum if you want to mob this thing without worry. We are far from done!

[@manuelgarcia9790]

I’m willing to do it and work the overtime here at the plant so the wife isn’t in my ear about the cost.
