The Gold Country Bronco group (based in Sacramento CA) had a meetup at a local brewery yesterday to celebrate the release of "Clash of Ages", a Session IPA with a Bronco themed label. We had great weather, and a nice turnout of classics and 6th Gen Broncos. Great beer, pizza and Broncos - how can it NOT be a good time?

Reservation: 7/20/20 | MY '21 order: 2/1/21 | MY '22 order: 10/22/21 | Blend 8/5, built 8/8, 'built' status 8/27, in my driveway 10/12/22

thanks - it's funny- I was talking to the owner and asked him if he'd driven a 2.7 Sasquatch, and what he thought about the differences - he said he hadn't - so I offered him the keys to mine to take it for a spin up and down the road to let me know his thoughts - instead, he handed me the key to the Raptor and said "why don't you tell me?" - well, OK! .. as far as acceleration is concerned - it felt a little quicker - but nothing drastic - you'd probably need a stopwatch to say for sure.. BUT - the ride quality was night and day - holy cow, that thing rides nice. He was running 35psi in his tires, and I keep my 35's at about 33psi, so pretty close - but that Raptor suspension was SO smooth - it soaked up all the little bumps and stuff in the road far nicer than the Sasquatch suspension - and the dash on the Raptor is beautiful, not to mention the additional details on the interior - the leather topped dash, carbon fiber accents, etc - all VERY nice.

Suspension is going to be my phase 3 upgrades. I’ve just started phase 2 which is all recovery.

But yeah, I want that fox shock set up so I can dial in softer road handling for the streets.
