Inspired by a 10 week sabbatical from my corporate job, I first crafted this channel to document my sabbatical adventures driving my 2018 F-150 Ford Raptor, kitted out for overland as I went on a 12,000 adventure through the western United States.
I'm continuing to document my off-road and camping adventures, as well as all my gear and upgrades for overlanding and off-roading to build an an epic PreLander (think cross between Overland and PreRunner)! I've always been drawn to travel and the great outdoors. I have a passion for high performance vehicles from fast trucks and kitted out rigs, to exotic supercars. Follow me on my journey as I grow as a creator.

Glad I found your channel. Fellow Oregonian here! Building out my Tremor and starting with the same Retrax you have. Wondering which rack you use that is compatible with the Retrax? looking for a rack that is no more than 12 inches high so I can still get truck with roofnest on it in the garage! Thanks for any thoughts.
Go with Xtrusion Ovrland, great small company to support. I ran ReTrax setup with their rack for a long while.
Love what you did with this build. I am wanting to do same thing with my Tremor but not sure if it will fit in garage. Can you tell me what the height is from bed rail to the top of your camper? Thanks a lot, really appreciate it!
At over 8ft no garage for me.
Please post before and after transmission temperatures
I thought it was a Team Rocket "R" 😂😂😂
That keffiyeh looks sick 😊
Glad you made it. It helps when you have the right truck.
Would love to go camping in Oregon with you guys.
I saw your truck on the road and just had to check your channel out! Looks epic! The truck shines in the sun even if it was a bit cloudy and rainy today. We live on a nearby street so I've seen your truck many times, but just haven't noticed the sticker! Seeing familiar houses in a youtube video is soooo weird!
Awesome! Thanks for watching neighbor!
I have the same torque arm and actually the same color as that blue is an accent color to my black Raptor. I love the feel of the instant torque when you hit the go pedal. Also zero axel wrap when playing in the sand. All while protecting that rear end and not affecting ground clearance. Great product. Love the videos.
Thanks for watching!
What are the bump stop brackets
I think you're asking where they come from and they are from Krazy House Customs who also made the lower control arms.
Ok that sounds like an F1
Nick if you have trouble finding the hole put some hair around it helps a ton old Master Mechanic trick
... 🤦🏻♂️
You can’t run headers on those little 6cylinders? Oh well let’s here what it sounds with the new exhaust hopefully better then a12 year old going through puberty
The new exhausts sounds awesome!
Best car guy ever!
😎
Hello Boss, Can you please suggest where to buy this rack from and how much does it cost.thanks
Go here, solid guys and a really ingenious rack system! xtrusion-overland.com/?gad_source=1
@@TheWhalen thanks 😊
This video is a disappointment to me because i didnt seee when you installed the intercooler as it says in your title!
Good note, this was done as a two part vlog a few years ago, I won't do that anymore to limit confusion. You can find the first part here that focuses on intercooler. kzread.info/dash/bejne/d4GnmNiFl6_PcZc.htmlsi=Zg9lhNddZcLJzAl7
@@TheWhalen i did see your second video my bad bro good video btw
Had an early Chrysler Pacifica. Everytime it rained there was a puddle in the floorboard. That's why i dont mess with sunroofs. Every new car i buy=no roof glass.
They seem "standard" on Raptors, I wonder if you have to special order without them.
I just got a A2 and I noticed my struts upside down too. Did 23zero ever follow up to let you know if this was a mistake or does it matter?
I had a blow strut so maybe it matters, if yours are still fine it's easy to flip them. 23zero was quick to send me a replacement for my broken strut.
It’s purdy
Thanks I have so many upgrades and changes now I need to do another one of these videos!
You say cool, i say fix or repair daily😂😂
Well when Nick is around I have a built in repair guy!
@TheWhalen keeps him busy I'm sure 👌 fix or ... Ford you got it I hope I used Ford as a acronym smh you didn't even say anything so I wonder that's all smh
That no reply is priceless 👌 🤣
Koompooter welded? 😂
Yes, Nick is "special" 😅
Love the videos and look forward to seeing the upgrades installed. I have the same torque arm, also had it done in a blue. Definitely a big improvement. Also have full race radiator and trans cooler.
Dude! The torque arm is a game changer when you hit the go peddle you can feel the torque plant over the rear axle, so fun! Thanks for watching!
@@TheWhalen Agree 100%
Damn son that looks like a lot of fun. I have the ADD venom bumper cant wait to see how u outfit your bumper
Heads up- affiliate Truckbed tent link no longer links to active listing
Thanks need to update!
Nice set up. How do you think it would work, mounting the pop up tent above the cab instead of the bed?
Too top heavy lower center of gravity is better. Would also be a pain to close.
If size wasn’t an issue, in your opinion what was the better rtt as far as quality and comfort goes 23zero or the Ikamper?
I did like the space of the Ikamper, quality and comfort are about equal. If you're a big dude or have a family Ikamper for the space.
"10-4 pig pen looks like its clean here to flagtown cmon!" If you know, you know
Killer 👌
Thank you it was a magical 6 weeks on the road core memory for sure!! Thanks for watching!
i work at a ford dealer, those guides you replaced and the krytox lube are specifically mentioned in a tsb released by ford. whoever looked at your vehicle was just to lazy to bother. would not go back to that shop...
Good to know and major bummer!
How has the output been did you notice they were brighter than oem?
I don't have any science to back this up, but I think they are brighter. At night I occasionally get people flashing their high beams at me because they think mine are on. Never had that before. 😂
What about people who have midtravel kits +2 can we get the half tie rods or it suppose to be full tie rods because of the increase width ?
Contact Tyson at Hammer Built he'll set you on the right path with this question.
"Bahia" is pronounced "bah-hee-ya".
Noted! 😂
23 zero vs ikamper which one you like better? Build quality etc?
I'm shopping those two, would like to know also.
23 zero A2 holding up great have had for a year now. And use it all the time summer and winter
@@shanenauman9850 good to hear, I purchased one today. Feels like a lot more room than the 3.0 mini. I think it's goin to work just fine for me too. Thanks for the update!
@NotAnotherG in time u can get the annex I did when was on sale but yet to use that. Mayne this summer!
@@shanenauman9850 I'll be looking for that video and a sale also LOL
Hi. I converted my Raptor 2018 to a an overland truck. I’m a little worried about the suspension as it seem to get to much weight on the rare now with all the equipment. People keep flashing the high beams on me on the highway. What would you recommend me to do with the suspension? The Ford F150 isn’t sold in Sweden we’re I live so my Raptor is imported from the US and there isn’t much knowledge about this stuff here in Sweden. Thanks in advance.
You can do some rear leaf spring upgrades. Deavers or Icons will do the trick if your bed sis squatting with added weight. It's a pretty basic mod so most shops should be able to do it. You can reach out to the vendor Hammer Built and ask for Tyson. They are based in the South West USA, but ship international and Tyson will get on the phone with you talk through the options, he is very wise.

Rear spring leaf like deaver +3’s or rear air bags added
Geiser rear springs 799 usd. Add 1.5” to the rear. Loaded with 700lbs that drops to about 0.5 inch over stock, depending on your overland rig. That’s for gen 3. Check gen 2
You can go with Deavers +3 or Icons. Reach out to @doyouraptor on Instagram, the handle for Tyson who sells parts with an outfit called Hammer Built, he'll ship anywhere and is very knowledgeable.
Nice rack. Can you share the info?
Looks sweet.
Thanks dude
Is this the raptor run??? If so could I do it in my Chevy 2500hd once it is done. I’m doing all kryptonite components with fox 2.5 performance elites.
Not a raptor run, was geared more for overland. Slower pace and more camping similar trails.
Is this open to the public???
怎样参加吧哈团体活动。 ?谢谢你
Check out Expedition Off-road (EXO) they run the events.
What about the wiring was it just plug and play? Did you use the f150 engine harness or navi?
How is the “seal” around the tent holding up? Is it tight or is there some flex creating any gaps when tightened down?
Seal is doing great!
Hi, what size wheels?
17" wheels 35" tires
New rack looks legit! Should hold up in baja for sure
That ending was priceless.
I have these rims on my GEN three in the antimatter blue . you can air down to 10 pounds no problem nice choice I really like them
What’s the roof rack you got on there? I plan on buying this bed rack for my truck but I also would like a roof rack!
KC HiLite, but it's not being made anymore need to check if they have a new model.
@@TheWhalen darn it! For sure!
you guys didnt do any step by step about installing it...just showed it off.😂
Thanks for the note, we've tried to add more instructional content too!
That tire swivel carrier was an awful idea as is pushing those rigs at speed with the racks. Stick to slow speed or leave them at home.
Or... check out my new PreLander rack I installed in recent vids. No more bed rail mounting, hello to custom fab welded steel rack bolted directly to bed! 🥳
you should put a pull up bar where the tent overhangs the bed, you have enough space to get a good lift in lol
Get swoll!
Man your cars look awesome, love the colors. However, the radar detectors don’t work. Trust me, personal experience 🚔. 😂
Bummer, so far for the last 4 years Uniden has done me right. I have mine set to the most annoying setting and am often hitting mute for K, but that's just how I like it I want to be reminded it's there. When KA band hits it makes me more "aware"and I slow the heck down!
