Re: What are Isuzu D-Max Utes Like?
rangers/bt50 and tritons have e-locker rear diffs. dmax probably still have the old plate style LSD that all the isuzu utes have had for ages. good diffs. I have the precurser to the D-Max (09 colorado 2wd) as a work ute. have put about 60km on it. I don't drive the balls off it but I get the most o...

Re: WTB: Honda CT90/110
yeah mate would plan to slap a set of better tyres on and give them a good going over.
Pretty much jut plan to get them for cruising over some of the tracks that're around that are a bit small or treacherous for the ol' landy.

get some details and a ballpark price if you can! I can't really make an offer not knowing anything really about it, and don't want to offend!

Re: WTB: Honda CT90/110
yeah those lifan motors will in theory bolt straight in to a 110cc frame, or an olc C50 50cc step through. apparently the 90s are a little different but will still fit with some modification. pretty keen on a dual range gearbox one but even still the single range ones will probably be fine for what ...

Re: WTB: Honda CT90/110
Just for some light off road stuff. hunting/running some small trails etc.
If I end up with at least one minter then perhaps road legal will happen too.
AM keeping an eye one some of the ex post ones but I imagine they're pretty kiized by now?

I guess it's more a thign of having to pay defender dollars to get a defender/coiler rather than my jew expectations.

Re: C240 Opinions
you could tweak the fuel and add a j-pipe type turbo setup and it'd probably go ok. infinite cooling so you could run a water-air intercooler and probably actually get quite a lot of grunt out of it, although I'm not sure how much it'd handle. being a boat you've got pretty constant loadings vs. tha...

Re: FS 750-16s, widened rims and other series one LR stuff
yeah man they have a sligthly different appearance in the centers but they're otherwise the same. they're probably not really any wider than LWB steels for a series 3 but all the width is offset outwards so it makes the track width a little wider, and lokos a lotmore staunch.
