Default Epic 6,000 mile journey pic heavy

I posted earlier when we were 2k miles into the trip. After 14 days, we are now home. It was truly awesome. I'm so glad to be using the Raptor as intended, not just as a mall crawler, but as the true off road machine it is. And btw, it's an amazing on road machine too. We started out at 4k miles and now 14 days later it's over 10k. Drove like a charm. Speed limit in Utah is 80. Cruised for hours at 85 and up. Smooth, quiet, it's a really one of a kind vehicle, but you gentlemen already know that.

Without further adieu, here are some pics.

So, I was in the midst of putting this thread together and hit a key and lost it all. Incredibly annoying to say the least. This is the second go 'round and that's why it's a bit out of order as I put so much effort into it the first time, I'm a bit tired and lazy now.

I also have go pro footage and drone footage I will post.

Zion was the most incredible of all. We found an off road trail outside the park, about 30 miles away in Cedar City. Went for about 25 miles, upwards of 10k feet. Steep, windy and rocky at times. I felt like I was in a limo. There is nothing like a Raptor, plain and simple. It's a one of a kind vehicle. At home doing 85 mph in Utah, and at home on the rocks and mud trails. Never once did it let us down. 6+ thousand miles in 14 days, averaging 17mpg the entire way. It doesn't get any better.

Thank you. Here's a few minute video climbing up to 10,000 feet on Summit Trail in Cedar City, Utah.

no visit to the home of the Indy 500 would be complete without kissing the bricks at the finish.

so if I posed naked while kissing the bricks, would that garner any comments? Holy Crap.
