Hey everyone, I am new to this site and figuring my way around the Forum. Like the title says I live in Northeast Tennessee and am fairly new to the whole overlanding concept. I have been off roading for years tho in 2 separate Jeep Wranglers. I just got rid of my 2015 Jeep jku sahara that was fairly built and very capable offroad. I never did any overnight trips or long trips in it tho. My new to me vehicle is a 2013 Ford Svt Raptor with the 6.2l super crew cab. It's pretty much stock besides exhaust and programmer on it. It is a Raptor tho so it sits up around 2 inches higher than a normal F150 and comes stock with 35x12.50r17 tires. It also has a electronic locker in the rear and torsen limited slip in the front. I needed something a little more drivable everyday with more room. I absolutely love the truck but it does have longer beefier axles and with the baja fenders it is 7 inches wider than your Everyday F150. So I am worried that may hinder me on the trails. It's nice to meet everyone and hope to see a few of you on the trails!b26fcc009d36d2741f88d43c30ae06f1x.jpg 20180615_193403.jpg
