Raptor style grill. I did not install the Ford letters.

You should be fine. The road was in great shape but gravel and rock, per usual. From Badwater Road to Warm Springs was a bit rough from a dirt road perspective. If you don't already have a setup for airing down and back up, I'd highly recommend it.

Southern Nevada

Yes, the other one has the sensor on it on the driver's side of the engine.

I'm pushing mine very hard. Almost 30k miles. If you are tuning for big power I'd highly recommend getting a very free flowing intake. If you do not you will generate a lot of pressure on the turbo seals and this will happen. If you are not doing heavy tuning they should work like stock. Or better.

@chillislives I have a roush cai, ams turbo inlet tubes, and a mishimoto intercooler with the piping kit, so it should be pretty free flowing. My goal is to get to 500whp , I'm using 5 star tuning right now, and they're pretty conservative on their tunes, so when I get the turbos installed I'm going to get a dyno and switch to mpt for the tuning. Hopefully everything goes well.

​@@saulgoodman9193probably not going to be an issue. In the Transit there is one aftermarket intake that breathes through a Starbucks straw and no aftermarket larger piping. This has caused pressure issues against the turbo seals until it's too late. You should be fine.

@chillislives Hopefully . And that's unfortunate . You might be able to have a shop fabricate some intake and intercooler piping for your van . I've seen it done on a 2014 f150 . Are you going to replace the Garrett turbos and have your tune turned down ?

​@@saulgoodman9193I will be opening up my air box heavily to allow the necessary air in to not cause pressure issues with the turbo and probably change my oil much sooner, especially with how many tuning runs I'm doing.

Check your tires and proceed with caution. At some point I'll maybe get a second set of wheels and speed rated tires. Should be easily able to hit 150+ mph. I've already done 145 mph gps verified.

I'll check it out. As the weather cools I get busier with work out here in the desert.

2wd. Around 7" suspension lift and 2.5" of tire lift with 33" diameter tires.

No install video. It is not a direct fit. I bent one of the included brackets to make it work.

I'll look into it. I'm usually very busy throughout the cold months of the year.

I'm around 6-7" of lift with a combination of lift parts from Transitoffroad.com and Van Compass plus some custom parts. Wheels are Method Racing 17x7 with 255/80r17 Wild peaks(33"). 18.5" of ground clearance until the diff.

35's, 22's, and the last I think was the FA18E Super Hornet.

Excellent. I can keep up with my buddy's Tacoma in 4wd as long as he does not use his rear locker.

You know this isn't like a unibody car, right? Have a look underneath a Transit T150-350 and you can see that there is a ladder frame like a traditional truck built into the body. Very stout.

As an avid off-roader of two and four wheeled varieties, I couldn't believe how good the stock short wheelbase Transit RWD did off-road. That prompted the heavily customized off-road build it is now, still RWD and yet very capable.

I don't take doing videos seriously but you can get a glimpse of some of what has been done. This thing is amazing and a lot of custom work has gone into problem solving shortcomings of the platform. I do plan on getting more extreme off road content when the temps cool back down.

No issues since install. Runs exactly like it should, even with heavy off-road jarring/vibration. Unlike stock!

​@@chillislives👍 now I'm just waiting on the Full Race coolant lines to get here and I'll be set to go.

The TrueTrac is pretty good but I wouldn't mind a true locker on the back.

@@chillislives Ya the TT is OK but nothing like the true ARB locker that I installed. Pricey though.

@@chillislives I know for a fact that when I got stuck in the desert last winter in AZ - I would have got out in 10 seconds with a locker rather than the 30 minutes it took me to dig & Max Trac my way out....

​@@TerryManitobaMy True Trac feels like it is a locker most of the time. I go around a corner and it feels as if both wheels are spinning. May have been too hard on it.

When it's finished I will. A lot of what has been done is already on the channel.

Heavily modded now.

@@chillislives what tuner did you go with?

​@@Dookie_burnerHP Tuners is the only one I know that works and Unleashed Tuning.

No need to do anything with your oil cap.

I've rewatched this video so many times. That section of road where I'm videoing to where the pilot crosses the valley and starts the zig zagging is 7 miles.

Unleashed Tuning has done amazing work to mine.

@@chillislives Does unleashed have a tune suitable for both performance and towing? MPT has one listed on its site, so I was going to go that route.

​@@jghall00 Unleashed actually tunes your vehicle versus just a canned tune. They can give you what you want.

There's no AWD Transit keeping up with mine. I'll get some new footage up soon.

Tuning for alcohol injection next week. This is a much older video before the heavy mods began.

Panamint Valley, CA-190. Most likely from China Lake NAWS.

@@chillislivesyep, almost guaranteed to be a VX-9 Vampires F-35C, although VFA-147 at Lemoore also flies them.

@@kickZtailout definitely Vampires. Dude was just havin fun with the spare gas 😂

Gen 1 F150 '13-'16 Garrett Powermax

Noise is slightly different. More of a deeper tone if I remember right. As for power, the way these vehicles work is the computer tells the engine what power to make regardless of modifications. Slight changes in power may be noticeable but until you get appropriate tuning it will not have major changes. With the manifolds, Powermax, and the rest of my mods, my 3.5 Ecoboost van absolutely rips!

@chillislives Yeah, copy that . Can't wait to inatall mine and get the new tune for it. The next upgrade will be a water/methanol injection .

This is this past week.

​@@chillislivesI ask as we visited Death valley from Ireland in Jan/Feb 2011. This reminds me.

Beautiful place, isn't it? My favorite national park when you start getting around and exploring.

255/85r16

These are on my Transit. I did not notice a difference other than my exhaust does not leak. My van is heavily modified and is easily at 500 crankshaft horsepower now.

Nice, been thinking on putting these on a 14 Tremor

Haven't had the warping issue like the stock units so I am happy. I have a host of power mods so I can't say these made a huge difference by themselves.

​@@chillislives I put a Wagner intercooler on mine after the manifolds and an Unleashed 93 tune. Pulls hard now. Torque is limited in the lower gears but it hits like 20 psi on the highway. Intake temps stay with 25 degrees of ambient. Before I would see over 40 degrees above ambient. Now just need to get my timing chain replaced because it's stretched and my cam phase is janky.

​@@jghall00is the Wagner a stock replacement? I have methanol injection and the intake temps drop 40° below ambient.
