- On my next stop in my multi week sabbatical adventure I take the Raptor to it's natural habitat, DUNES! I embark on a journey through the amazing St. Anthony Sand Dunes, 10,000 acres of sand dunes located in eastern Idaho. Watch how an "overland build" can still kick up sand and have some high speed fun!

Yes on the side by side!!
The temptation is real!
I stopped by a few days ago. My feet sunk in just walking up one. Looks like a blast
Can we get a video of the loadout on the truck? I have a Raptor and want to learn more about racks, tepui, etc Thanks!
Just watching how funny it looks trying to keep up with The VW s
Chingon carnal. Acabo de ir a Pismo Beach ⛱️ a was fun
I own a 2017 Ford Raptor 🦖 has 95,000 miles it’s been really good to me other than the CAM PHASER cold start rattle plan to fix that sooon!!!!
Never took it off roading 😂since I baby it !!! has a lot of mileage from highway and taking it to trips everywhere!
Other than that best truck I ever owned !!!!🎉
The new cam fix is legit different beast once done, also OFF ROAD IT! 😂
You have the best side by side I have ever owned and I have been duning for most of my life
Great videos! I have a 2019 Raptor. Cool to see all the capabilities as you’re filming.
Yes, I would take it in the dunes but first I’d lose the shemagh...very nice truck and setup and great content
The shemagh is eternal 😅
TheWhalen haha keep doin you and keep putting out your content
Sweet rig! ive been scouring all over youtube for a Raptor offroad kit and I think you are the only one on here with that setup! looks amazing! you just got a new subscriber!
TheAdmiralD thanks stay tuned more vids on the way!
Super cool in the sand. All we have here, north central ALBERTA, CANADA, sand and muskeg good times offroad
Glad to see you enjoying your Raptor to its potential! I need to take a road trip from here in San Antonio and take my Magnetic Gray 2017 Raptor in the dunes. She has seen plenty of dirt and mud, but the desert is where she belongs! Great video man!
Thank you! The dunes were a blast!
Awesome sand dunes, thank you !
SCARFFF!
Dude must have some kind of scar or tats on the neck he doesn't want to show!!! Who wears a scarf when in the desert!!!
Hey Wallen, I notice your Rigid light and the face plate is upside down because of how they mount. You can flip those by using a hex wrench to unscrew the bolts and flip the face plate. I did mine before I installed them. Just FYI.
Durham Media LoL yes! Good eye. I’ve been putting that off. 😂
If you order the correct Rigid light you don’t need to do that.
that was my first question was how well your custom stuff held up to that much fun. So glad to hear that the flood gates can be opened and everything stays intact. Great video and im looking to build a similar truck with a similar color. I want to build a 5.0 v8 with a full chip HHO mod, maybe try out the new 7.3L v8 supposedly coming out next year but still I would rather have something not boosted.
Romullus oh yes, my goal is to make a great pre-runner Overlanding hybrid. There is some need for custom work, I had steel plates custom fabricated to better distribute rack load along bed rails, working well so far, check out rig walk vid to see.
Im from Rexburg so the dunes are in my back yard. This is where my 19 raptor lives.
I’ve got a stock raptor and want to put a tepui on the bed like you did - now that you’ve had it for a while, any insights on the rack or the bed cover etc? Mine is also a DD so I want to be able to remove the tent when not going out camping. 👍🏼
Jim B using KB voodoo rack with ReTrax cover. Rack allows for use of cover. ReTrax also had a cover with a channel built in for mounting rack, but not sure how sturdy that is. I'm liking my set up, but have to do a few custom mods to rack to make sure it's safe to go hard off-road, if you are just doing light trails it's fine as is. If you plan to toss truck around you should see the custom springs I did for rack at end of video. If you have the space, a lift or gantry crane can help remove rack quickly.
Where did u get ur scarf I want one.
Amazon 😅
Maverick x3 is the way to go.
aless150 I was looking at those!
@@TheWhalen You must, the Raptor pulls the x3. Due to the weight reduction the 1800 lb x3 is 4K lbs lighter and does 0-60 in 3.8 & soaks everything up easily. + X3 is cheaper to repair if you damage anything. Check out the x3 videos on my channel.
Great video. What did you use to air back up?
b pospolyta I have a smitty built compressor, but the dunes shop has a compressor on site too.
It’s a nice truck and all but an overlanding raptor better comes with a mechanic.
Mine does, his name is Nick! 😅
...also in 4 years of ownership and abuse I've never had any catastrophic issues on the trail. Holds up like a tank.
Hey, I'm looking at getting a 2017 or 2018 Raptor. How many miles is too many for a used one?
For a 2018 I would say
High miles - 60k+
Average miles - 35-60k
Low miles -under 35k
For a 2017 add 5-10k to those tiers.
This is all a ballpark guess mind you, assuming people drive their Raptor's as much as I do.
what camera and lens do you use?
Okey Cody Oh Sony a7 iii with 24-105 G
Brad why pull a toy to the dunes or trail when your truck is the best Man Toy you can get? Well comparable to a Ram Powerwagon, but not the private Jet lol.
You make a great point, but like any big kid I want lots of toys. 😂
@@TheWhalen ya what they say is always true lol. You can tell the Men from the Boys by the price of the Toys lol and the amount too lol.
Do you ever take that scarf off?
Pepe Deez Nutz it's a mystery, but thanks for noticing, now I know that you've been watching :)
TheWhalen yeah buddy
he took it off when he went for a swim 😂
did you get the infamous squeak in the shocks after the sand adventure?
RyJo nope, but now I'm curious.
12-13 psi and you would have been able to tackle the bigger and softer stuff. Next time.
I may have to try that, seems to me I’ll need to get some bead locks on first
When we train folks in the dunes, 12-13 for a truck is generally fine without bead lock. In a Wrangler, I run 8-9 and have run as low as 6.5 without bead lock. A single PSI less will be noticed at the lower end (ie you will be able to make it up the dune you could not ascend just moments before).
Sometimes a tire does come off. Just have a floor jack and a compressor and can have it back on the rim in 15 minutes or so. :)
Since you asked, my Raptor definitely sees desert action. These trucks are so great. Cool video.
With all that overland gear and no rapid deflators? I highly recommend the style that pulls the valve like these: www.amazon.com/Smittybilt-2823-Rapid-Universal-Deflator/dp/B06WP6R917
I also just built this and it works AMAZING: trail4runner.com/2018/05/06/diy-4-tire-inflation-system/
I wouldn’t take my raptor in the sand. Every time you roll down the windows it will scratch
Some live dangerously!
