Well, I went out to TRR. Had some Brake/wheel issues and am also chasing an issue with my PCM relay de-energizing and pulling power.

I took some video of the one lap that I did. I was fighting the truck most of the way, so its not really close to a full-pace run, but its still kinda cool. Keep an eye out for the armadillo and the small herd of Red stag.

Wow man your truck ate that up. Some nice ride along. So smooth, was it the camera or the truck lol

What kind of pressure was in those 40’s for this?

I actually backed the image stabilization way off and mounted the camera to the bumper tube, so the majority of the smoothness is the suspension.

I was running 18 psi in the fronts and 21 in the rear.

If I had to put a number on it, I was probably as 4/10ths or 5/10ths on that lap. I'm pretty sure that I got into triple digits a few times, but not for long.

That 23 mins is about 75-80% of the full TRR lap. a stock raptor will do a full lap in about 55 mins. Carl Beal was out there in his new Mason TT, I don't even want to consider how embarrassingly slow my truck is compared to that thing.

I was afraid you were going to say it’s really the truck that was that smooth. 18 and 21lbs on those big tires sure has to compliment your suspension for eating up those bumps and obstacles. Almost looked like you ran over a few chunky stones out there, but hell you couldn’t tell by the truck.

That hissing and thrushing was your BOV right?

Seeing that TT out there moving must have been a thrill. Would have liked to see how your truck looked from the outside, running that course. What would be the average speed of a stock Raptor running that lap in 55mins btw?

yeah, you're hearing the BOV every time I let off the throttle or shift gears.

The squeaking is my need to add rubber bumpers to the one-piece now that I went to aluminum body washers. the body mounts also squeek like hell once they get dust/silt in them.
