What modifications should I let the Gov't pay for?

Well sorta, I get my income tax return back which oughta be about 150$, and I'm sellin my Nitro RC for 500$ So I've got to choose between..

-NWOR Header & 2" Straight Pipe Exhaust In Factory Location. (No Muffler/Cat)

-BJ Spacers, Shackles, Shocks, Sliders

-TG Front Bumper, Safari Snorkel

-Weber Carb, Enginebuilder RV Cam

-Honda XR50 w/ 88cc Bore out kit, Extended swingarm, BBR Handlebars..



I'm thinking lift and what not, but I WOULD like a new pit bike...

Apparently not! I've never seen anything like what that video shows. Wow, it seems like the suspension would be woefully undersized, but I guess that's why you mentioned the extended swingarm.

Get the bike.

they're only giving you back 150?
seeing as how you're truck photos are usually muddy, go snorkel and front bumper.
i think you could run 35s if you trim the fenders a little, i really butchered mine and used bj spacers and 1" body lift and i fit 33's just fine. i'm doing 35s next and not lifting it any higher.

or hunt around for used gears and lockers, i did gears with tax return cash last year.

already found a guy I'm buying gears from so thats happening regardless, and I only work part time.. And I'm already locked in the rear. I think the snorkel would benefit me the most hehe, but I dunno how I'd mount it to my weber once I get one of those.

NWOR sells the adapter plate to use your stock airfilter housing with a weber, so you can use some pipe or hose to adapt to your snorkel, i have my snorkel attached to the factory carb "airbox" with some hose.
also gives kind of a sleeper look to the engine....
well good you got gears coming, the header would be nice but the rest of the exhaust could be had fairly cheap.

I'll prolly just make a home made snorkel, its a 23 year old truck...

So I'm thinking on doing the pit bike and waiting on everything else..

Don't buy the NWOR stuff. Total junk.

LC Engineering ceramic coated is the best there is around.

My brother had ran the NWOR header on every truck he ever had, and he'd had five trucks, and they work fine, I just helped a buddy of mine install one and its a damn fine product. Their customer service sucks, and their suspension systems are rather lacking and don't flex. But they make the best header I think. I've bought alot of other things from NWOR and its fine.

Well, to each their own. I have a NWOR header on my 87, and an LC header on my 86. The LC header still looks brand new, and no leaks to date. The NWOR header is old, rusted, and leaks at the connetion to the pipe.

Amen! pet peeve of mine, but they aren't 'giving' it back. They are returning the extra money that they took, and not giving you the interest it'd would've earned in a bank! .......and I'm off the soap box...
