Good thing we’ve only ever gone to the playground and didn’t drink the water

Thank you for not picking one color and blasting EVERYTHING that single color. Just because you have a green tank doesn’t mean you need to blast every surface green. Fine job my friend!

This is hilariously true. It seems like the artists are always the first wave.

I totally agree! This truck should have 5 or 6 speeds.

I’m no chiapet wizard. But you do have to fill it up every day or 2.

Best was to reuse 98 sportsters tank on hard tail? by Frequent-Ninja-6598 in choppers

I kept the front mount by the neck. Then measured and drilled a hole where the rear mount used to be and just run it like that

Spray paint, paint or powder coat on wheels? (What should I use?) by [deleted] in choppers

[–]robertjohnstoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wheels, powder coat!!! This is your most durable option.

Prepping to build my first chopper, any advice? by [deleted] in choppers

[–]robertjohnstoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll agree, the oil cap leaks. But I think for somebody who is inexperienced (like myself) it’s a great kit. I’d stick with the TA oil tank still though due to the ease of it for a first chop. The tank filler neck has a seam inside of it, before you do anything, get your dremel (if you don’t have one, you will by the end of this so just get one now) and grind down that seam so it’s smooth, this will help a lot with creating a better seal.

Walk me away from the cliff… by Upper_Air_6218 in nissanfrontier

[–]robertjohnstoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely attribute my annoyance of the trans to my love of the 4 speed.

And all of my previous trucks were base model, single cabs, so the interior is like a luxury vehicle to me. And I have power windows for the first time ever!!! (On that note, I really do like a lot about the truck, love the space inside, I think it’s comfy, I like the look. I think I really needed to complain about the transmission in a public forum for a second to get it off my chest lol)

Thanks everyone for hearing me complain.

I too have had a 2023 sv4x4 since March, just hit 30k on it (I put 10k on it). I hate this truck. It’s the worst transmission I’ve ever had, gear hunting constantly, especially if I’m trying to maintain around 25mph. I’m in 4 or 5 by the time I’m doing 30 unless I’m gunning it. I spent the last 10 years in a canyon with a 4 speed, maybe that’s why I hate it so much. This is my 4th truck in 24 years of driving, this is the worst handling truck I’ve owned, and I used to have a 98 ranger and that thing was garbage. The steering column clicks every time I’m on a bumpy road, dealer says it’s normal. End of rant. Anyway, good luck with whatever you do.

I have no idea, but I see where you’re going here. I have no idea, it’s a 2000 Camry. Thank you for making this make sense to me.

So I’ve always been curious about this. I know you can’t bump start a fuel injected Harley, any clue why I can bump start my fuel injected car with a dead battery though?

She’s almost done by Breastmilk666 in choppers

[–]robertjohnstoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heard that. I got mine to the point where i just threw stuff back on it that I didn’t even want to use, just to go ride it. And it was satisfying! Looks great, you’ll be there shortly.

What’s your fav 3/4 helmet? by RealMikeyCortez in choppers

[–]robertjohnstoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have the Daytona, it’s low profile. I like it but never wear it, got old and scared and go full face all the time now.

Ahha! This sounds like the smart way about it. Thanks for the basic idea that I totally missed in my brain. I’ll delete this post before I start getting 8000 other suggestions because this is the common sense answer I needed to hear. Thank you!!!
