Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

loading 2 bikes with the topper and the tailgate pad is easy if they have dropper post. I did it with two large framed 29ers for reference.

As far as removing the front wheel, I haven't done that since I made the switch to a thru axle in the front so I can't really say. but if you want the Softopper is the way to go for tailgate pad AND a topper. the bestop i had was a pain because I had to keep removing the rear window, and Honestly the raceface one held the bikes so well i hardly strapped them down.

 

Thanks. Just for clarity, do you put the bikes in with the tailgate closed, or do you swing the tailgate up between the fork and downtube while holding the bikes in place? Thanks.

 

Tailgate closed, and the second bike has to be around 90* to get it the rear tire to clear, but once it does there it plenty of room!! hope this helps!

 

Snow pics from this week!


Snow drifts are fun!


Looks neat



Drove under a snow rainbow!



Snow drifts up to my bumpers




And I also finally mounted my flashlight! Thanks @wtjl240!

 

Any rubbing with those 33's?

 

Nope! I haven't fully cycled these, but the 33x12.5's i did and clearanced great and these are much narrower haha

The brand is Coast, and it is bright AF. I love this flashlight!

 

it is LED, but not rechargeable

I got it as a random gift so I can't complain

 

When did you run 33x12.5s???
What offset are your rims that they fit?

 

Haha they were half worm Cooper STT FJ steeplies with spidertrax spacers!

33x12.5x17 check out the OP there is a photo with them on

 

Flexed her out for pre Rausch

 

doooood.. I LOVE the wheel/tire combo..

I'm in a predicament with my current wheels.. and have been looking into other options lately for plain wheels with a ring. Was talking to OMF.. but thought of this route as well. I also like the idea of having them removable like my current MT classics. When they get beat up I just take them off, hammer them straight, and paint them like new.. they really do protect my wheels, especially the valve stem. Wondering how difficult it would be to make them removable...

oh, and.. Sub'd

 

So sexy... needs to be on this page too..

 

There we go..

 

Thanks! I'm honored! I love your build!

So I abuse the crap outta these wheels and then just paint over them when they start to bother me lol. Maybe after this weekend I'll take photos of how many gouges these things have taken from rocks.

Haha thanks!

 

Awesome pics from @MY50cal from a scary but fun day at Rausch! A lot of blue blacks!

 

Looks way fun!

 

it was! and scary! brake check was honestly terrifying, but i know i'm a baby haha

 

NOICE!

 

Sonofa... I just noticed the swingout tailgate. I have been pondering over a very similar idea myself. That looks damn good and nice to see something finished!

might be pickin your brain on that..

 

anytime! @Urineovrurhead built it! I just bought some accessories for storage to be integrated into the tailgate for camping! Pics to come!
