I've been looking for some simple information without much success. Simply, how much wheel travel is the stereotypical AT type trailer have? Thanks! D

Yes, I easily get caught in the material trap! Machinist/Fabricator/Machine Design background. It is funny though, the components I just fit in to two categories, works and overpriced. I need to go ride a bunch which is how I settled on my 26 I threw out the budget and rode everything and at...

I've looked. We have talked. If I want to ride this year, I can not afford even an "entry level" bike they are simply not financially viable for now. So turn this around, I would like a 29 hard tail, geared in steel under $900 ready to ride, I can build it or buy it. I have a wonderful ridged...

Bike complete or DIY ether way though I may be able to do better overall deal wise just buying and it will be to deal that finally narrows the choice, which I do local. Yes, I noted that the entry level is now out of reach of a huge segment of "entry level people" at least until the economy...

Thanks everyone I at least have some basic info to start with. It is funny, I had not given a thought to the materials application with regard to the suspension. When I bought the frame I have now Aluminum was supposed to be THE thing... It was dead, lifeless. Hence my CrMo love. Aluminmum...

Looking for advice, direction for a new ride. Current 'sometimes' ride is a ridged 26 nothing special "MTB" I've done all I can do getting it to fit me and I it. I still love the frame set, there is just nothing like steel! I will be keeping it as I can easily get another 20-years out of it...

I'm going to chime in with an x2 on just swapping to the EFI 460. The 400 would be my first choice but for easy EFI the factory EFI-460 is the hands down winner. Simple, bolts in mechanically, can be done with all stock parts if you wanted to. The OE EFI-460 was a dog however you do not need to...

In her memory thank you! I could be a bit biased but she was awesome! Her stories of traveling the PNW (USA) spanned the teens on. All this fancy overland stuff we take for granted... Makes me laugh and leave more of it at home! Flat out there is nobody that could bake a Pie like that lady...

Never done this but my dear grandmother had a story about getting a T, as in model, stuck on/in the ice she described drilling I would guess 1" holes (I'm thinking brace and bit) Anyway she told of drilling 4 holes laid back slightly away from the T and lashing oak stays stuck in the holes in...

Just wish they has the sizes I need/want! Till then, BFG.

Filling the inside is a good idea. You could also bend up a temporary roof to dump snow, set it in place maybe retain it with ratchet straps, then simply remove it for use... Just a thought. Glad to hear there is no damage! Hate to say it but I have learned at your expense, I will look hard at...

Wow! So what will you do? Fab up a supported roof structure? I can picture a tube frame transferring the load to the trailer frame and skinned with Aluminum or possibly a composite material.

This place is hilarious! In no other place I frequent are there so many tempests in tea cups, regardless of geography. Thread pertinent I like shooting, punching paper is relaxing. EP pertinent I would like it almost anywhere in the world on a clear range. :coffee:

As one who has been using poly Bushings in, Racing, Street, and Serious trail applications for 30-years. I have never, as in not once, had such a problem with a Poly Bushing. Noise is a different issue. My current 'truck' has had the same bushings in it for over 10-years and I guarantee that...

^X2 But i still carry the Hi-lift.

Jiffypop:lurk: Medium, Butter flavor!:victory:

35" tires down the road. With the interference point being the Master Cylinder and cab floor, it takes more lift to run over a 33" tire.

...it would be more. I've only tried that once and we hemorrhaged money damn nearly continuously the whole way!
