Tonight, Aaron TESTS A PROTOTYPE,  Coy goes on a test run test, & Death chases after Ben 

Welcome to the off-road podcast. A podcast about everything off-road. We cover the news, review products, and interview people in the off road industry.  Your hosts tonight are Aaron, Coy and my name is Ben.  Welcome to the show.

Coy – camping at Lake Billy Chinook crazy wind storm, cool lightning

Aaron – Warn prototype product testing.  Cut some holes in my frame.  The truck is 98% put back together.

Ben – fixed the 4runner, took it to Yellowstone along with the ringing rocks, and found a dirt road. One of my tires exploded and I got new tires.  Didn’t bring a spare because I ran out of time.

Autoblog – Ford Raptor T1 Plus Revealed at Goodwood

• This wild-looking off-roader is the Ford Raptor T1+, and it’s a purpose-built vehicle set to take on the Dakar Rally.
• Revealed at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, this Ford is built in collaboration with Ford Performance and M-Sport Ltd, a UK-based motorsports engineering company that is known for its rally efforts.
• Under the hood is a familiar powerplant with the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 with an unspecified amount of horsepower. It has a dry-sump oil system and unique exhaust fully visible from the rear.
• Fox three-way adjustable and four-way adjustable external bypass dampers with remote reservoirs are used, and Ford says it has 13.8 inches of wheel travel. It rides on 37-inch tires wrapping 17-inch aluminum wheels.
• Alcon discs and six-piston calipers are installed at all four corners. Ground clearance stands at a mighty 15.7 inches, and its body consists of all carbon fiber panels.
• Its livery calls out Ford’s partnership with Red Bull with a traditional Red Bull design and colors. Of course, there’s a whole lot of Raptor branding splattered all over it, too, with our favorite part being the “RAPTOR” spelled out in the front skid plate.
• The Ford Raptor T1+ is a stake in the ground for our global off-road vision – we want to take on the best and prove ourselves in the toughest places on earth. The lessons we are learning from Raptor T1+, along with competing with stock trucks in Baja 1000 and Finke Desert Race, will help make Raptor vehicles even better for our customers,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Performance Motorsports.
• Ford intends to enter the Raptor T1+ in at least three rally events through January of this year, with the last being the Dakar Rally.
