    ISO- Big Als Performance Parts catalog

    I'm getting the itch to build a custom Honda ATC90. Not a fire breather with an engine swap etc. Just a breakdown/rebuild with custom paint and aluminum wheels to purty it up. Anyone got an old Big Als Performance Parts catalog collecting dust? I'd like one for reference. Or if you've got any...

    Your favorite A Pillar lights?

    What are your favorite A Pillar lights? I’m NOT running a light bar, I prefer single lights. I want quality, BRIGHT lights. I was looking into the Baja Designs LP9, but I heard that the “side shooter” LEDs will light up the interior of the car. Baja Designs remedies this by disconnecting the...

    Swingaxle shock setup?

    It’s been a long time since I’ve messed with a swinger and I sure as hell ain’t a hard pack guy!  For rear shocks, a couple fellas told me to run 10” Fox shocks (like class 9) as that was the most travel I can get before the axles bind.  A fellow has this used set for sale, 2.0x10” Fox...
