Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

Welcome to the 180 club.

 

haha I should start a list of things I need to maintain. Thinking serp belt, maybe DS CB etc etc (anything that wasn't replaced with the frame swap)

 

Pulleys too...

 

180k mod day haha

 

Wheel spacers to move out my spare, and my trasharoo on!

 

Threw on an Amazon light bar and wiring harness!



Headlights only


Light bar only!

 

@Blackout14 got the caster as high as it would according to the tech. It drives so much better than when it was at 2.0. JBA UCA's ftw

 

Much better!

 

Where dya get the Trasharoo.

 

It does! The outter lugs of my st maxx's were getting chopped so an alignment was due anyways haha. I'm thinking 40psi might be too much not sure. I know @Chux ran them at that.

But yeah it rides so much better it's night and day!

Amazon!

This guy knows!

 

True, my eBay bumper without a winch is probs a bit lighter haha

 

Added a surfboard pad so I can still use my tailgate to transport my bike!

My rip9 fits like a glove!





All closed up!

 

!!!! truck and bike look amazing!

 

Thanks! I'll post a pick of my nimble9 soon! that's my favorite bike haha

 

Love this truck!

 

In the OP too!

 

It's got a big gash on the Softopper. Your truck's value has completely tanked.

 

lol my truck's value tanked the moment i took the keys!

 

Pre blizzard ride!




The view:

 

Hi @Nimble9 ... how easy is it to load two bikes in over the tailgate pad with the Softopper (with stock tailgate and no rear spare wheel mount)? Can you easily work the second bike in with one bike already in place? Also, if you remove the front wheel of the bike, does it easily fit standing up in the bed under the Softopper? That's how I currently carry our two bikes (120mm travel 29-ers) under my DCSB's fiberglass ARE canopy, with Kuat DirtBag fork mounts, but I've been thinking of going to a Softopper. I got some measurements from a guy on the ST thread and it actually seems like the opening has more width and height than my shell but I wondered if you'd ever tried it. Ideally I'd like a little extra space if I upgrade to 130 or 150 travel, and I still have to tilt my bike to get it in even with the dropper down. My thinking is that I could put the bikes in and close the rear window when I want security, just use a pad for short trips when I don't want to bother removing the wheels, and still have the option to fold down or remove the ST as well; much more flexible than my current setup. Thanks!
