By the way, did any of you see the Top Gear episode featuring the Raptor? Part of it was replayed last night on the wrap up for the season. What an incredible truck! The 04-08 FX4 package is purely cosmetic. The Raptor is the real deal. Great truck. Look forward to watching your build.

One of the guys on the raptor forum bought the truck that they used for the track test.
IIRC the FX4 was the only way to get a electronic locker (not the same one as the raptor), added some basic skid plates and slightly better suspension... not really a ford guy so let me know if I am wrong.

while my 9500TI on my jeep was pretty beastly, id honestly bypass it and go straight for this
http://www.warn.com/truck/winches/12.0-endurance.shtml
with a synthetic 7/16th winchline on it it would probably be maybe 20lbs more than the 9500TI and id feel alot better having another 3000k capacity under my belt having a pig of a truck.

It is at a local lake. I knew the tires are only ok in mud, but that area is usually passable. There is a trail that runs around the lake that just kinda peters out at this spot and you run across a field for a couple hundred yards, then it starts up again and you are at the exit to the road.
Usually you can take an accord across there with no problems... but it had been raining the week prior and the lake was just starting to subside so it looked like normal but was a complete swamp. As I was just about to get off the dirt I had turned off all traction aids and when I hit this spot it went from dry and hard backed to mush within 5 yards... If I had been in 4x4 or ad been going faster (or had had on my locker) I would almost certaily have made it through. Bad judgement on my part.
Probably not... MAY be able to come down for the Saturday portion...
unexpected spots like that can get the best of anyone from time to time. like this: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55485
I already said that...
