Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

Thanks! I'm not actually playing the GTii game, just GME

and I use it for designing my products, as well as anything else I can think of. I have designed stuff sent to and tested in space, and giant assemblies for the military. I've had a pretty fun career but I'm mostly doing robotics (mobile robots) now.

When GME moons I hope to build my company into something more than what it is now, and develop other products beyond the automotive realm.

 

Sounds pretty awesome

 

can't complain! I'm definitely never bored!

 

Battery acquired last night after work.

Gonna toss it in later today and see if that helps my starting issue

 

New x2 27f Battery installed!

the truck fired right up and was very happy with the new battery

I didn’t need to trim the tray, just used the stock tie down under the handle



Added tape to keep it from rattling



you vs the guy she told you not to worry about



Also my scanguage says 14.1v, that okay you think @EatSleepTacos ?

 

The tie down doesn't fit over the handle?

 

I’d measure with a voltmeter on the battery terminals to be sure. And the acceptable voltage range should be on the sticker on top to double check it’s 14.1

 

yes. I think normal cold start is 14.2. Under normal driving is 13.9-14.1

 

Nope, too wide haha

thanks!!

 

hey @Nimble9 can you do this?

I'm typically clipped in so that would be tough lol

But as a whole no way that's gnarly

 

i guess if youre clipped in, then you would have to jump the whole bike over that small tree (instead of going under it)

 

Just a photo for reference for how I will route my loop. This is exactly what I'm going for with my workstation build.

When $GME moons, I'll be able to justify build another system for entertainment, AND a gaming rig. Oh, and since this is a Tacoma Build, going LT with all the JD Fab goodies.

Spent some actual time on the truck yesterday to prep for our little camping weekend for Raystown Bike Fest!

• SideRides Mounted
• Water port mount modified and mounted
• Hi lift re mounted (always have on me for road trips)
• Kayak racks on
• Prototype bed bars on (will be bed rack with more accessories
• Greased everything
• Checked all the fluids
• Tested a bike with the new height of the RTT
• Gave the outside a quick wipe down

Ready for the next adventure!

 

Awesome time at Raystown Lake for the Raystown Bike Fest. It was Dirtfest but then Dirt Rag went bankrupt right before Covid, so now it’s a charity thing!

Anyways, onto the pics!



Site 54 is dope




All set up


Best trails for real



The only thing that sucks is the 1 mile 800ft climb to get to the trails. I was knackered by the time I took this photo



And all packed up



They did an amazing job re doing the camp sites. We were definitely the first people to use the site, as the fire ring didn’t even have ash in it yet. Overall stoked to come back again soon to ride and kayak!

 

Voltage Booster added!

Happy birthday bro!!

 

Happy birthday!

 

thanks guys!!

 

Oh yeah, went to Assateague Island on 7/30! the beaches were still relatively empty and we saw less horses than last year. This is the latest we’ve gone and it actually wasn’t too hot.

The setup





Pretty empty beach



Sites on Sunday



loaded up and ready to head home!
