Leave it to the overly analytical guy to find this kinda $*&#!!! LOL
Is there any reason why one couldn't use a 1.5'' ram ball on this and the change pocket adapter? Looks like the bases are the same...the 1.5'' is rated to hold a little more (thinking tablet over the change pocket).
Also, Ben - sent you a PM on a microphone idea sir!

If the base is the same then shouldn't pose an issue I would think.

I got some positive feedbacks from the 1st batch of M2V2 RAM Ball Mount.
I and @suprarx7nut will start the second batch. PM me if you are interested.

Printer is already running!
Looking forward to receiving these. Thanks again Ben.

Hmmm how about a Lexus version.
... just kidding... those Method caps look awesome.

Make 25 Door Step (Developing)
Requirement from @jlm43
"Maybe 6 inches long. It would act as a step to get onto the roof rack. The bottom should be some what soft and not slippery. The top can be hard but also no slippery. It’s something to protect the door trim and window seals when I don’t want to set up a ladder. And it would be a lot smaller and easy to store in the truck."
Rear door profile was captured and built in CAD.
A preliminary FEA was done, showing the maximum equivalent (von Mises) stress is only 0.65 MPa which is far lower than material's tensile yield strength (44 MPa). The assumptions made include (1) uniform contact between support and the part (2) uniformly distributed load (3) load is 2400N (240 kg or 500 lbs weight). This is only to estimate the scale of maximum equivalent stress. The actual stress would be larger due to non-uniform contact (stress concentration).
The material's deformation vectors are shown in the following figure. Material "flows" in the arrow direction under the load.
A soft bottom layer will be added to protect the door paint.

Makes me want to buy some methods just so I can have these awesome caps!
Have you done a test fit on the front wheels? The grease cap sticks out too much to fit the factory hub cover. I would love to have something that covers my front hubs.Make 26: Wheel cap for Method NV Wheel (Developing)
