All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

welcome to the club. AND with the 1-up. coming out ahead!

 

Ah, I see the Yeti engineer changed jobs a few years ago

 

LOLOL.

 

I second this. also, with the long bed, you lose some payload capacity while gaining space. So it's easier to overload a long bed. You do have to get a little creative with the short bed every so often. but a hitch rack has been my solution.

 

ok sweet, thanks for the heads up, I had no idea about the road closures, I'll make sure to check their status before i head up!

 

easy fix there is an Add-a-leaf! That way you get the payload, the space, and a bit of lift all at the same time!

true. But I was talking more stock ratings from the manufacturer. I need to start thinking about changing up my suspension now. got way too many miles on my stock setup.

 

Yes. For me though, I remove both wheels and drop the saddle to make more room in the bed since I like to keep a few bins for gear under the tonneau cover as well.

Heck, my Evil Insurgent fit in the trunk of my WRX!

I travel quite a bit so when I ride before a flight, I stash my bike in the bed (under a tonneau) instead of leaving it on the rack for airport parking.

 

AAL in the Rear, with 5100s all around is the cheapest, quality way to get a lift and small upgrade from stock suspension.

 

yeah, that's what I've hear a lot about. My roommate's tundra got the 6112/5160 treatment. Just doing some budgeting and debating on what I really want. likely will do 5100s.

 

its what I did to my truck, along with new wheels and tires, and the difference was awesome, especially for the price. I'll eventually want to upgrade to 6112/5160, or something similar, and go up to 285s. But for now, i'm happy with it!

 

We could pop in a pair of front 5100s in an afternoon. Come on over!

 

I totally should. I'll order some new stuff soon-ish and let you know.

 

Side note....new bike part day...next week. I ordered a new rockshox superdeluxe ultimate from my LBS. My current bike doesn't have a lockout and it's killing me on the climbs. I'm excited to have a firm setting along with some more adjustability on my rear shock.

 

My Fox 36 should be here any day too!

 

woohoo! new bike parts day!

 

Waiting for the tracking number like

The ship date they gave my LBS was today, but that was back in March.

 

ouch. patience young grasshopper...

 

It's been a 3 month wait. I've been patient. NOW GIVE ME MY FORK!
