Hey Gavin, congratulations on the arrival of your new Raptor. I’m sure you can’t wait to see it. Go easy on the moods and research you’re options look for quality that will last.
Hi Jase The Ute Master load lid is awesome and costumer service is first class. I’m so glad that I purchased the load lid. It made the trip across the Simpson Desert easy been able to keep my gear dry, secure and be able to tie down gear onto the lid. Keep the load down low and not stacked up on the roof 👍👍👍
Awesome vids and info fellas, thanks. Any chance of some more details of that uhf aerial bracket? I'm over west and not familiar with "Greggie", and a quick google didn't point me anywhere obvious. Keep up the awesome work Ty, Cheers.
Hey Trev, Nice Ride I like how you put all the mods, simple but ROCKs... by the way what DUST SEAL KIT did you install and where can I get one for my raptor? cheers..
Hi Andrew I have KMC 544 MESA 18x9" with Nitto Ridge Grappler 33x12.50R18 tires. The Ridge Grapplers preformed really well on the desert roads. There is a bit of poke out of the flairs but if that worries you maybe look at another size of tire. Nitto have a good range of sizes for the Ridge Grappler.
Definately a good touring/camping setup but not Australia's best.. Not doing any of the tough stuff without a bar, winch, snorkel & sliders! The setup is great none the less.
@pklepkle6287 Hey bloke, I was averaging 12 to 14 Ltrs per 100 klm going across the French line. But depending on how many people and the gear you are carrying can push up the fuel consumption up. I was the only one in the raptor for that trip, I was carrying a fridge, battery pac, swag, stretcher and 5 Jerrycans three of them were diesel the other two petrol for my mates jeep. Adding to the inventory were the usual food, WATER, tools and a few spare parts, eg fuel filters. You can checkin on the road conditions on Face book, Mt Dare Hotel, Pink road house Oodandatta and the Pub at Innamincka. Take a good camera the night sky is awesome, travel safe and have an awesome time🤙
Snorkel and bar are not a priority on the list for the moment. I'm looking at intercooler hoses and possibly upgrade the intercooler. The factory hoses balloon and are dodge. Plenty of them have failed.
@@23trevmc hi Trev, is the liner a single piece or two piece?I have seen some done a side at a time, seats are out, drop one side the do the other. Hope you get it sorted👍

That’s one nice truck! My top choices are Ford Ranger Raptor, Jeep JL, Ram Power Wagon, & Ford F-250 Tremor.
I like your choice in 4x4’s mate 👍

Awesome rig! What is the offset in the new rims?
Hey Trev, Nice Ride I like how you put all the mods, simple but ROCKs... by the way what DUST SEAL KIT did you install and where can I get one for my raptor? cheers..
That's an awesome rig and the scenery 😍
Weigh difference with a Hamer King Series bar and bash plates with a 9000lb winch is just 22kgs extra.
Great video of a top keep simple set up.
Was just wondering if the rear suspension travel was reduced with the Air Bags ?
what is the tyre size?
btw what size wheels/ tires and offset ?

Is the motor reliable?
Yeah look after it and keep up with maintenance 👨🔧 👍🏼
@@TyFenwick nice truck mate, i hate when they overcrowd them with a bunch of bars & too many xtra stuff, yours is nice & clean 😎💯👊🏽
Is it good for overlanding?
Extremely good
Hey Jesus
The Raptor was awesome crossing the Simpson Desert. Ford have finally built a Ute that is truly made for Australian roads.

Snorkel front bar and winch won't hurt!!!
Be interesting to see what trev does next to it 😎👍🏼

What happened to the trailer build?
My trailer build ?
@@TyFenwick yeah, while back in one o your episodes you mention that you were going to build camper trailers? Hmmm I must have go that wrong.
Yeah mate it in the works but money is issue right now, business have been taking a hard hit with lock downs and I’ve put it on the back burner.
But still rivets shouldn’t be use to secure a rack to the roof. Crazy!
Yeah a lot of installations are done that way, trevs going to sort it out but 👍🏼
Hi Chris
Still looking for a better option that doesn't leak and some who can take the roof liner down without damaging it.
@@23trevmc hi Trev, is the liner a single piece or two piece?I have seen some done a side at a time, seats are out, drop one side the do the other. Hope you get it sorted👍
Lol no where near the best set up, very basic but awesome none the less 👍
Just needs a V8 😏😂🤙🏼
Where's your gray ranger raptor?
Gone mate waiting on new 2022
@@TyFenwick im still in 2021, just had it lol 🤣
@@TyFenwick will the new one be out 2022? Cant wait for that one.. hopefully more power..
Any steel bumpers installed in the future?
Na mate, trev said he wants to keep the front end light so no bumper plans.
I'd prefer high quality driving lights to a bull bar. I rather see what is standing on the side of the road ready to jump out in front of me.
this is mostly stock .. "best raptor" like because is white??
