    harrop lockers

    anyone use them in a 100? this likely an ozzy question, but they will ship to the US, so they arnt unobtainium. i've never been a fan of of the ARB, and since i'm contemplating 35's, i'm contemplating 4.88's, which means, since i'll be disassembling the axle anyway, i'm contemplating tossing...

    ATRAC damage, discussion.

    100/lx470 lift opininions

    well, ive been beating the tar out of the ahc, for 160,000 miles. currently i have it set for no lift, cranked bars for steel and winch weight, and run airbags in the bum for load enhancement. i love the AHC, and was going to put 100 springs on to compensate for the weight, and bump the...

    Destessing lx470 torsion bars...

    Has anyone ever put stock lc100 bars on an lx470 that has skids,bumper,winch etc.? I was wondering what the "feel" is like. Stock, the bar is like a helper spring to the Ahc. I'm curious if, with a few hundred pounds of steel on the front end, the lc100 rods would still be too much for the Ahc...

    one shot stop

    i see plenty of discussions on the importance of it. by my reckoning, this means more to the fuzz than to self defense weapons. the fuzz, may need to shoot someone in any variety of situations and distances, whereas, with all the legalities involved, if youre going to shoot someone in self...

    honda cb1100

    now, i know jack about bikes, or bike history, but that jack pine triumph desert sled is the coolest bike on the planet. my question is, would the new cb1100 be a good bike to "sled" up? i think the 70's style is awesome, and other than the 421 pipes in front making it more difficult to make a...
