Great mods. Everything looks right at home on your rig. The hood badge, as prior pister noted is dope!

As noted just above, it's more about the leverage than the load itself. The Raptor bracing only takes the static rating from 350 to 450 lb.

Thanks much. That said I still find this fairly confusing. In part due to my lack of knowledge of your product line. If it's not too much work, It seems like a big table of some sort could likely clarify everything. Folks need to know if each (pod style) light can be run at 0°, 90° and 180° and...

Nice quick back of the envelope calculation. It shows Ford uses decently large factors of safety. That said the dynamic loads significantly amplify static losds, probably by around double (say 1 g dynamic load). Ford obviously uses dynamic trailer loads though as well (to determine the static...

Seems to vary a bit. My rough estimate after stopping the deflate is about 10 seconds.

Not cheap but if you want fast and accurate: Monster Valves plus their schrader gage. Now you measure on one valve and deflate on the other. Unbelievably fast and accurate. It's so fast they sound like a RC jet motor.

Congrats OP on a involved, successful, intellectual exercise. Not being sarcastic. I'm a big Mac guy and for both FS and tuning, I gave up on my Mac and like others here got a cheap used Win laptop. It was not without some considerable and reasonably talented/informed struggle to stick with the...

Screw those whose tops fall apart, were only worried about big pieces coming off and hurting other people or their property...

On empty and using 91 (which almost always is E10) you only need 4.7 gal of E85 to get to 94 octane. That's assuming your E85 is actually 78% EtOH, which again is common. I think we talked about my blending app, but it's only available for Android. octanecalc.com

Prior you said grade 9, obviously AN is not the same as grade 9. As I stated 9 and 12.9 are close enough in all specs to be interchangeable.

Good request. Especially since the very close metric equivalent 12.9 is already there.

I would say with top tier 91 there isn't really a need to bump up to 93 by blending, especially if you've heard the noise across different stations and fills. It's perfectly safe to add some E85 to increase octane. However, if you want to totally eliminate fuel/knocking and since you lived in...

Given that it includes grades and dry vs. lubed, that covers a lot of the needed bases. Another one I've seen goes farther and was (seemingly) capable of accounting for large differences in the bolt and substrate materials, say a grade 8 bolt into tapped 6061 Aluminum.

Y'all got actual competitors this time around 😉?

Is that you with MJ? If so, very cool!

You've contradicted yourself there with energy and pressure - two entirely different quantities (meanings, units, etc.). Decibel can refer to a plethora of physical quantities, not just sound & pressure. It's just a logarithmic scale, e.g. earthquake intensity. Lastly sound, when measured in...

Odd. Are you using top-tier fuel? You could try 93 if you have it, if not blend with E85 to get 93. That said, it shouldn't have any pre-ignition even with 87. My Android App "Octane and Ethanol Calculator" can get you a perfect blend at any octane you desire.

I'm not a betting man, but I'd be willing to bet quite a lot that the current gen Braptor will never get a V8, from the integration difficulty, cost and crash certification efforts alone. I'd also bet the current gen does not get a power bump.

All completely wrong... @Ducati1098 provided the correct answer.

Very nice wheels. Forged is obviously a big plus too. That said there is no (human/seat of the pants) test you can do to feel 12 lb per wheel, even with the 2X effect of lower moment of inertia in a 6500 lb rig.
