i will say i was impressed with how level it flew.
 
Tires looked like they still had air, so I am guessing that was the shocks that blew out.

:lol:
 
What do those run? 50k? I wouldn't be jumping one myself but it fun watching others flush their money down the toilet.

and frame, and windsheild, and shock mounts, and strut pockets, and leaf springs, and.....:mrgreen:

dude was haulin thats for sure! i mean those are 6000 pound trucks! he has some serious airtime.
 
I read a post on another forum a while back about guys trying to sue Ford due to the frames bending and breaking behind the cab. It seems they took the commercials literally and went out jumping and hauling a** through the desert. Last I heard Ford was pretty much telling them to "pound sand".
 
You can't fix stupid. Never know what these "hey, look at me" people will do for attention. He was a rock star for a day, now needs a ride to work and still has to pay the bank for this truck.:lmao:
 
Way more than just suspension damage. He obviously wiped out his oil pan which probably caused a lot more damage.
 
He'll have a hard time getting a scrap yard to accept that truck. WOW..
I thought I had seen some guys try crazy stuff, but that was just dangerous. It's a good thing it flew level, or they would be taking two bodies to the morgue.
My buddy and I watched a guy do a jump just like that with an S-10 ZR2 at the dunes in Silver Lake. Only thing the truck didn't fly level and took a nose dive.
The impact was so violent the drivers head was crushed and the female passenger had to be cut from the truck. We heard she survived but she'll never be the same again..
 
Shoulda bought the ecoboost... less tempting for rednecks to jump, and they can actually tow, you know, what a trucks actually meant to do.
 
Two more words - Disability Check

Pay day "thumbsup"

Someone should tell these guys that Proline makes the Ford Raptor body. Slap it on a Slash 4x4 and jump all you want. Lot easier on the pocketbook and body.

Scary thing is, after the video plays there's a bunch more videos of idiots jumping their raptors :shock:
