    Wheels stuck in the tire/tyres??

    They got one tyre off yesterday, the guy said there was some sort of bead lock in the wheel. These are LR Disco wheels, do they have bead locks or is some sort of add on thing? I will take pictures as soon as I get them back.

    A little high in the front.

    Modding regrets

    Mine was a cheapo ebay thing, looks and feels solid but rattles really bad. Keep in mind mine is a pick up back so a little different from the others. I have an idea that I will soon try to fix the noise. Otherwise.....bye bye.

    Valve adjustment, when?

    Got a new one. Just called my mechanic and am gonna get it done ASAP. Could I have done any damage by leaving it so long? She is running great, very little smoke and really not that noisy.
