Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

New B110s came in a few days ago. Looking forward to slapping them on Friday!

 

Some maintenance before tomorrow’s trip:

Cleaned and oiled the air filter (it’s dirty here still)


Oil change




A bit of touch up paint on some pretty worn areas


new Blistein B110 Shocks


The shocks were a PITA to install. In a rush me from years ago didn’t put anti-seize on the top bolt, and it decided to fuse to the shaft. The 5mm Allen key was stripped in a few good tries, and vice grips were no match for nature’s loctite. So it was a good excuse to buy a sawzaw to cut the top nut off.

I also learned to not buy sawzaw blades at harbor freight, as the metal ones went dull after about 20 seconds of use. So I had to make a trip to Ace and bought some Ace brand and Milwaukee brand blades. The Ace brand held up just fine and I was able to cut the 2 nuts off. Oh and installing these shocks would be impossible without jacking the rear of the truck up.

 

I think you're taking the wrong lesson here: we need to stop giving away our trail guide services for free

@Nimble9 want to set up the website for us?

 

I’ll add it to my to do list!

service is pretty spotty up here for me, but it’s been a blast so far!

 

Diablo demon blades were a god send when I cut my lcas out! But they cost a pretty penny...about 10 bucks a blade.

 

$10 per is worth the time and frustration of a crap blade lol

 

I've been so busy with Squareone Creations, my real job, and life that I haven't had time to update this thread!

So back in July, we made our annual trip out to Assateague Island but this time for my Birthday. It was a ton of fun as always!

 

Last time I was able to get out I went to AOAA with the NE Toyota Overland gang. Nice enough folks, but the trails we did were basically fire roads. Did make some new friends to wheel harder trails when they're in town next. Also I ran into @Chux randomly!

I also learned that the greens at Rausch are the Blues at AOAA.

 

Ok, super last minute but would you like to join at Potts this weekend?

 

wish I could! family stuff this weekend!

 

Softopper back on for now!

 

for winter? Im thinking about taking my tent/bedrack off for winter/ to do some work to the truck (and maybe sell)

 

Maybe for winter, mainly to transport wedding stuff!! 9 days away!!

 

Congrats! Im going to ask on Sunday

 

Did some stuff today on the truck.

decided to gloss clear the Grill



Also, after an incident during my bachelor party weekend I decided to make something - a Wing nut that attaches to my swingout.



(Shout out to @EatSleepTacos for sending me the OG one that I used until I had this idea)

so basically I took a larger wing nut that extended past the stud on the bumper, cut a bolt down and used some wire to make sure it never happens again.





I still need to order a @Mobtown Offroad spring pin! I’ll do that now before I forget again haha

 

That’s awesome man!!! Can’t wait to see how you’re gonna do it!!

 

similar to yours, but with a little twist of my own

 

Last mod before marriage!

Stopped at Ace for light bulbs and remembered to get hose for the oil filter drain





Oh, and the truck came in handy last weekend for my friends wedding! Had to go offroad to an undisclosed location for epic photos



And the short bed is just long enough for wedding decorations

 

Did a thing!

 

Congratulations man
