Riveter Bike Park - 22' YT Capra Core 2
Tried my hand at a park for the first time. Need a lot more speed (and time). They closed the outdoor track I was running soon after I got there. Either way, this was a great day!

Pisgah National Forest - Horse Stables

Tried to find some good trails around the horse stables inside Pisgah national forest. Turned out we didn't push hard enough after a few days for straight riding. Either way, this was a great day!
Corn Mill Shoals to Little River to Cedar Rock to Big Rock trail DuPont

Took some advice from a lady in the parking lot to head across the street from the trail we had just done. Great time and an experience I'll never forget. Lots of climbing in this one - at one point I show the Apple Watch app that has us going for 2 plus hours, that was the last video and this one combined. The chunky downhill starts late in the video if you don't want to see a bunch of middle ...
Wilkie Trail - Dupont State Forest
zhlédnutí 65Před rokem
Making "pour" decisions happens. After a Wonderful lunch at Oskar Blues, we had a great plan of riding more post Kanuga. Wilkie was a trail we were coached into trying to find a waterfall. We didn't commit enough time and decided to ride the downhill back to the lot. We found some more courage to ride Corn mill to cedar rock - which you can find in the next video. The craziest chuck downhill we...
Ride Kanuga 2023 - YT Capra Core 2
zhlédnutí 960Před rokem
To continue the MTB trip, we hit up @ride_kanuga for some amazing trails and customer service. We ran into a snafu with the progressive drops on my buddy's bike and the staff repaired immediately. I am a novice, so I hope you find this video entertaining! The bike was fine after my spill yesterday. I'm mostly okay but definitely more careful on jumps the rest of the trip!
Berm Park Ride 2023
zhlédnutí 102Před rokem
Berm Park has been on our radar for awhile now, and today was finally the day we could execute a trip into the mountains and make it happen. Weather looming, we departed the Lowcountry at sunrise to get ahead of the rain. We both enjoy content from @BIKINGWITHBOBO @SethsBikeHacks @BermPeakExpress and so many more. We are working on MTB skills, speed, and courage. Come along and go ride your bike!
Biggin Creek 2022 YT Capra Core 2
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed rokem
New bike day - Used 2022 YT Capra Core 2 - taking it on a trail in South Carolina called Biggin Creek in Monks Corner. Go easy, not a video editor by any means! Recorded on a chest-mounted GoPro Hero 11 Black. Mountain Bike trails are not very extreme in the low country of SC. Biggin is full of tight turns, roots and pedaling.

Did you have to use spacers on the wheels? I wanted to do the same but wasn’t sure they’d clear upper control arm.
The ball joint went bad quick because you didn’t upgrade the upper control arms
Great looking truck. What tires are those? Is that the stock 20x9 wheel?
Awesome truck and video!. I just got a quote yesterday to lift my 2020 1500. I never asked for specific brands, he quoted me for a rough country 3.5 lift. Is that a terrible brand? I keep reading some unsavory things, then others are saying its great for them. I personally just want to be safe with my kids in there.
If the lift is only spacers and not upper control arm replacements included, you will have issues down the road.
@aFra109 yes this kit had uppers included.
@@Maab32 I’d say you’re covered then! The SST was the only option back when I did this. Lol
Nice. I forgot to ask, did you notice a lot of body roll around curves sitting up higher? And any issues going at high speed say around 80?
@@Maab32 the truck handled normal after these upgrades. I didn’t go Mario Andretti, but it was good. The fuel economy takes a big hit. Price you pay for mud terrain tires!
I know this video is 4 years old but how did the 33x12.5" wide fit on factory wheels without hitting the upper control arm????
Would this work on a 2019 Limited on stock 20" wheels with no lift kit. Just air suspension?
I don’t have an answer for you - unfortunately. I’d say it would be too much tire for that setup.
looks great with no front plate, where are you?
This was in Ohio. Front plate was required but I d g a f.
@@aFra109 great!
Those 33s look good on it. Wonder id 35s would fit?
How many inches before the lift ?
Hey! I did the same exact thing I traded my ram 1500 for all black trail boss then after a yr or two I went right back to the Ram1500 I apologize to my Ram family and said I’m sorry take me back 😂.. it’s no comparison Ram gives u so much more upgrade for the money also❤ .. love your videos btw.. 👌🏽
😊
Looks great. Do you remember the mpg hit you got? And does it reach 8Th gear on a regular drive? Thanks.
I don’t remember a problem with 8th gear. 10-13MPG. 14 highway.
@@aFra109 thank you for your response. I think you got a Chevy now? Feel free to see the built I did with a Trailboss in my videos. Lots of good info. Take care and merry Xmas !
What was the rim size?
These are the factory 20”. Not sure of the offset or width.
I just did the 3.5” ready lift..
Dude that bike is awesome, I just ordered a YT Jeffsy yesterday. Super pumped for it to get here
Such a tame trail for this bike, but hey, why not! Lol took up a couple times to WNC now and wow, all good things man.
35s on mine
There goes the warranty 😂, BDS and RAM all covered
do you have a ceramic coating? or what do you use to keep your truck looking so clean? just bought same truck trying to figure out best products to use
No coating. Just never took to a machine touch wash. Hand wash or touch less laser then a high quality quick detailer to wipe it down. The Ram paint is the best paint I’ve ever had in a vehicle.
How beautiful
You should have kept the ram
For real. Lol
Truck looks great thanks for sharing
29“?
Yes, this bike is a 29er.
We were both bloated and lethargic post-food truck and beer lunch and still really pushed it. I thought we were gonna puke. ❤
Ha, it was to your left about 50 yds about 1/3 of the way from the end (going uphill). That climb was easy compared to Burnt Mtn.
Man, you just gave me food flashbacks from the time i was stationed in North Charleston. I still to this day dream about Los Reyes on Rivers. That place had the best Mexican food I've ever had 😂
haha we love it there, too!
Could you make a review of the bike and the sound of the YT stock hub Thanks
I don't have the stock hub man. ill see about a review video on the YT - have several bikes but this is the most insane downhill bike I've ever ridden - we are beginners - today was absolutely nuts. I have some footage from today ill render and upload tonight/tomorrow morning. holy cow this bike is a beast.
I want to get this bike and I have tried to find videos of it but there not good and your videos are really good
@@expert4325 true, very few vids on the new aluminum Core 2. The downhill chunk it ate up yesterday was insane. my old MacBook Pro is slow to render 4k so I'm running behind on uploads.
Is your hub stock or an upgrade ?
I have an industry nine hydra hub and an absolute black oval chainring
@@aFra109 thanks ❤
Great job, you two! I’m seeing tons of agility!❤
Hiii
Smooth riding sir and nice trail! Ordered my Capra Core 2 GX a few days ago and can't wait to ride it 😍
I want to switch out my NX for GX. I have most of the parts, need the right XD driver for the i9 then I’m all set!
@@aFra109 Hell yeah, that upgrade is absolutely worth it! I'm so happy with this bike 😁
Hey, your wearing the bracelet I made you 😊❤
Hey Andrew. I just caught your video. What brand and size tires do you have on the truck? 33 X 12.5?
Toyo MT
a 2" front lift should not be that detrimental to our ball joints. Something else was going on
New Silverados are much better looking than Rams. Rams are nice inside but I don't understand what they were thinking with the design. Big step down from the previous few generations. Went from bold styling to a frumpy grandpa looking exterior.
I love the exterior of the Chevy, but preferred the interior of the Ram. Much higher quality materials and looks.
@@aFra109 The newer Chevy interior looks really nice goo although I haven't seen it in person yet.
I wanna try now
U fOrGoT ME
You should post the video where u run into a tree 🌲
I found your channel lol 😂
33's too small for a 3.5. You got in the middle.
No these are perfect. Plus no cutting or trimming.
I was extremely curious if this was a joke at first or not( seemed like a downgrade)The new Chevys are decent trucks but the way the new 5th gen rams are built there’s nothing really topping it there built like a tank.
Yeah, I got hooked into the frenzy of selling things for way higher than normal and buying cheap - small window. believe me, I want my RAM back. lol
I have 2022 Ram 1500 with 3inch Motofab leveling kit it raises 3inch up front 2inch in back front 39 almost 40 I just need some 33's I'm good 👍
That’s gonna be a killer setup man. Grab some longer struts if you can swing it!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
How
Here’s how. It’s an old video on the “how”. As you can see, I’ve perfected the cube. czcams.com/video/g2Epjmrsjsg/video.html
Did you only instal the 3.5” to the front and nothing to the back? Cheers
No, at the time of this lift, there was little aftermarket lift kits available for the 2019. I purchased the spacer pucks for an2018 and made them work in the back. I believe it was 1.5”.
Watch the other vids on the channel discussing the lift components used.
czcams.com/video/hIKscARW3fs/video.html
Tires are too small Needs 35s
33s on a 2" 35s on a 4" 37s on a 6" 40s on a 8" You undersized your tires my man, still a nice rig tho
so 34s on a 3.5" ?
This is exactly what i want to do to my 2020. How much did this run you al together, just so i have an idea how bad it will hurt. haha
It’s been awhile! I do not remember. I believe the lift is around $500ish and the tires are about $2k
@@aFra109 Anymore of an update on MPG? I read where you said before that city was 12-13mpg. What are you getting on the highway or average? I am just kicking around doing a level or a lift. Thanks for the help.
@@dcr1326 that was average. Both city/highway. It was pretty terrible. I don’t have the truck anymore. Aerodynamics were all off and the extra weight of them tires. They are HEAVY.
Great, I lifted 3.5 inches last week (from RC) on my ram 22 Laramie. i'm considering 35 or 33 tires.
Both of my cars if they where stock
Dammm. You regretting it yet?? Lol. Both nice though
Haha I’ve regretted this decision from about 7k miles in when my Silverado started its Lifter failure issues. It’s been a total POS. Notice no more videos on my channel? Lol
@@aFra109 dam had that issue already?!
@@punderific444 I’ve had it twice because they didn’t fix the other side while they had it in the shop the first time. Total BS. Driveshaft replacement, electrical issues. All which still are around and they cannot find the problem so I just live with it. Parking sensors randomly stop working (front and rear). It’s a POS.
@@aFra109 yeah I did notice no more videos posted smh. Sucks man. Bust of luck with it.
@@punderific444 I appreciate that man!
That’s a great setup and just looks awesome 👍🏼 How’s the ride now? Feel more difference from stock, more stiff?
Thank you!! The ride was absolutely terrible compared to stock lol. I should have added longer off-road struts to the setup and that would have made a much better difference. I still encourage this, the look was exactly what i wanted and didn’t break the bank. I wanted to add spacers but feared the worst from online research. Also, I don’t think there would have been clearance inside the wheel well to keep from rubbing at lock turning.
