My wife's boss is one of the people in charge of figuring out the cause and what they could have done different. My wife says they will have to go back many years to figure it out. We are in Deer Valley because she has a week of training. There are several people in the training that are...

I have to give props to KORE. I ordered my parts on Monday and got them on Wednesday. Thuren says it will take a week before the track bar is shipped and 2-3 weeks on the control arms. It looks like it will take a month before I get everything installed but can't wait.

So I flexed it out today and took some measurements. First I measured how bad the tires were hitting my upper control arms. I was a little surprised when one side was hitting it with about 1.25" on one side and .25" on the other. So my axle was off center by half an inch. On the front I...

I put 40 miles on the truck today and didn't notice the noise at all...of course it was all off-road :-)

So I put the tires on to see how they look and see where I need to lift or modify the suspension. The rear fit pretty good. I will have to flex it more to see what I need to do but I may be able to get away with it stock. The front hit the seam at the rear of the opening. I used a 18"...

I just had the stock 33" tires before (stock on the Power Wagon). Since I moved to California I use the truck probably 80% of the time either off road or driving around town (under 45 mph). I usually take one or two trips back and forth to Utah a year also. I hope I can get the tires out of the...

I heard they are one of the loudest tires out there. I hope they make up for it paddling through the sand out here :-)

Picked up some new tires today. 37x13.50R17 Nitto Mud Grapplers. Now I need to figure out what to do in way of suspension lift. I'm thinking of starting with pre-runner front fenders (4" higher and 2.5" wider). Probably new control arms that move the front axle 1/2" forward (Thuren maybe?). On...

Congratulations!!! That is awesome news!!! She will be in my prayers

Thanks for the well wishes. I actually was just talking to my wife about boots. We have these creosote bushes out here that are a lot like big sagebrush. I was surprised how often I got to close and smacked my shins on them. It's definitely on my list of things to buy.

I wanted a bike that I could explore the many, many back roads in this area. After doing some research I decided on a TW200. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago. I have around 130 miles on it so far (went to San Diego for a week so didn't ride). I filled the tank and got 90 mpg. That is so much...

Thanks for the input. I didn't really think about keeping textured paint clean but it totally makes sense. My wife didn't like the "black swirly thing" either. I know the matte black thing has been overdone but I have been using it for the last 20 years and have grown accustomed to it. Maybe I...

So I think I'm going to install some "pre-runner" type fenders. I need to paint them so I was thinking flat black along with my rockers, probably a textured paint. I was thinking of this type of paint job. I'm working on the bumper now and am planning to run some 37" tires. I would like opinions...

Sorry I didn't reply sooner but my uncle died so I have been attending the viewing and funeral. I will let you know Shawn. I'm trying to figure out if I need one or not.

I was thinking of pulling a small trailer behind it. Something like those 4x8 ones at Harbor Freight. I will look into that honda on craigslist down here.

I have all of mine in a first responder bag. It has many little pockets and has backpacker straps on the back. I have the following but I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff, these are the four groups I have: Extensive first aid kit (sutures, stapler, drugs, etc) 3-days worth of food (the...

Thanks for the replies. That is why I love this forum...you can learn about any topic. I will keep looking and see what I can find and then post it and get opinions.

So I have almost no knowledge of ATV's or motorcycles (except Harley's). Some of you know I moved down to the Mojave desert. As I have been exploring the 1000's of miles of dirt roads through the desert I've noticed many places where people have dumped trash. This of course blows all over in our...

I think medical supplies are a great thing to get. Medications and supplies would be to trade with and the more obvious to use for emergencies. I have sutures, a stapler, staple remover and of course all the usual supplies. On top of the normal supplies I have a box full of extras. I do like...

I'm coming from Cali. I've lived in Utah my whole life until 8 months ago. All my family is up there. I figure I need 35 gallons of extra gas besides a full tank in the truck. I plan on buying seven 5-gal cans. I will rotate them out by using stabilizer and filling our motorcycles with them. I...
