I love how honest this guy is. He's not over-selling the vehicle or under-selling it. It really seems like he's having a a regular conversation with you. A lot of companies would tell you that 1) they make the grill (even if they bought it off eBay) or 2) would straight up "forget" or not include where the grill came from. More companies need to learn something from this guy.

[@mountainhobo]

So let me see if I got the purpose of this correctly: It is so wide that "offroad" here means rough but open desert, and it's F250 diesel so it can haul heavy trailers. Is that a thing?

[@redneckturtle771]

If I got the mega with the 6.7, I would do so many power modifications

[@practicalguy973]

If I had the cash I'd want a MEGA for sure! I love the enlarged prerunner bodies that have room for the tires to fit under as the suspension compresses. They look like a big trophy truck from the front but have all the heavy duty aspects of the F250. Amazing combo.

[@17madracki17]

Wheel bearings last 10 min.

[@TheMetalheadHomestead]

17madracki17 You'd be surprised. The Dana 60HD unit bearings can take some shit. I've done a lot of wheeling and have over 200k on my '02 Dana 60(non hd) all with various oversize tires; Granted I wasn't running 300lbs tire combos. Regardless, the yuppies paying this type of cash could easily replace unit bearings like regular maintenance or step up to dynatracs.

[@jamesflores9456]

arnt they sterling units

[@TheMetalheadHomestead]

James Flores The rears are sterling 10.5's. Considering that the rear doesn't contend with steering forces and is designed to handle a few thousand pounds of payload directly above it, it can easily handle very large tires for the long haul. The fronts are Dana super 60's(not 60HD like I mistakenly wrote before); Probably the toughest factory Dana 60.

[@Sinister_Reaper]

I once heard there was a man who made it last 11 minutes

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Ive been running 18x39.5x15 boggers on my dana60 for 13 years. Never touched a bearing. Mud bogging... daily driving.. rock bouncing ... towing and i run a 8ft mayer snow plow on it all winter. Nov to may here in ontario canada. Plus our shitty roads beat the snot outta trucks.

I like how so many people comment on here negatively as if their fat asses have taken this thing thru a test across America. If you haven't had the pleasure of sitting in it much less drive it then I would just sit in awe like a lot of people do. Not because it's a Ford but because of this guy's ingenuity. Even if this were a Chevy or Dodge I would be impressed.

Don't waste 20 min of your life they do NOT take them in the dirt!!!!! Thumbs down 👎 that's how you know the off road suspension didn't work well because they didn't want to show off its off-road performance. Basically a cheap lift kit and fiberglass.

[@prismatic9804]

personally, I agree with Marcus... Imo, lift blocks are a cheap, potentially hazardous​ way out. I completely understand the idea of a budget build and cost effectiveness. however, when you consider the cost of building one to this guy's price tag, you would be better off to purchase lift springs and scrap the blocks. I won't go into the actual raptors selling performance for dealers, not my nich... but I will say that since you can figure 50k for the truck, 30k for the raptor kit, then the least this guy building these trucks can do is throw in $1,500, (give or take) for actual lift springs.

Solid axle is NOT as good as normal Raptor. The manufacturer even says "not necessarily speedwise of a Raptor". In other words, it is a rock crawler. The Raptor has that wonderful suspension.

What about suspension travel? Will the rear tires shred the fenders if you get airborne?
