Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

All the photos?? Lol

 

New Serp Belt and Pulleys today!

this was a super easy and I should have done it a long time ago. One thing I noticed, is all of the OEM bearings were perfect. No play, no excessive wear, just smooth and quiet.





Also noticed I’m low on coolant. I’m probably Overdue from a flush and fill lol


Also, look at all the junk in the reservoir!

 

Little bit of live action today, prepping for Sunday.

Topped off the coolant and power steering fluid



Cleaned up the bolts and threw the 8FS skid back on



can’t wait to finally get real tires and wheels on the truck soon too.

 

I heard NY state parks are open Is it just Queens that isnt open?

 

Nope we have plans Sunday is the day

 

EBC yellow pads installed! I





Painted the little slider pins to keep them glossy



Done! Just before wheels and tires arrive!

 

Well it’s after Sunday, where the new wheels and tires at

 

Ugh watched like 5 videos on Raptor liner and I’m really thinking about pulling the trigger on some.

 

A certain someone forgot it was Mother’s Day and had to reschedule for next Sunday. No worries I went mountain biking anyways lol

 

For the whole truck? Orrrrr. I'm hoping I can get my whole truck coated in durabak this week. I'm curious how it'll turn out.

 

yeah! Entire truck but keeping the flares black.

Post updates I’m curious to see how yours will turn out!

 

Once I can source the very specific type of roller they recommend I'm going to get to it. Hopefully, the local Sherwin Williams has it, otherwise, I'll eBay it up. I was going to spray it on but then I'd need a paint gun and a LOT of plastic to mask off my entire truck and garage. This'll be a lot easier.

 

yeah that’s a good call. I can’t even fit my car in my garage so I’m eager to see what the roll on looks like!

 

I did my camper shell with raptor liner
it's really easy and the finish is holding up really well

 

Looks like it turned out great! how many coats did you put on? My biggest fear is streaking in the texture itself

 

I think it was 2 coats
I bought a 1 gallon kit and used 2 of the 4 bottles

 

I used a rattle can bed liner the other day on something and the coverage was amazing. It's way easier to get a nice even finish vs paint. Streaks was a concern of mine as well. I don't know about raptor liner but the durabak is self leveling.

Also whatever you decide on, make sure it has UV protection.

 

for sure! my flares are bare plastic with a layer of 309 on them for now. UV isn't on my mind since it seems like it'll be cloudy and rainy for all of 2020.

I might do them in black raptor liner first to dial in the settings. Also I need to find an air compressor haha.
