No I'm not to big. I rode a Tora and liked it alot so I figure a Fox or Reba will be out of this world.

oh for sure then. Tora is pretty entry level compared to the fox RL and Reba race.
i'm kicking around buying this

Done already. Plus its alotttttt easier to work on a bike rather than a truck.
Ya i'm going to do a long term willys (similar to the one i had and sold). The JK just needs to stay on 33's and get me to work and back.
either 2a or MB
CJ5 frame
springs designed to minimize axle wrap.
Mildly built injected 350 (but this time with a real wiring harness)
not sure what trans yet
Atlast Tcase
D60's
5.38's again
39.5's
all that fun stuff. But to be honest, right now with all the work on the house and 1/2 the garage being a giant paint booth for all the doors/woodwork in the place, i don't have the room.
I've been slowly collecting the necessary tools though.
Plasma cutter
Welder
misc hand tools
Installed gas heater in garage
Engine hoist
couple of nice jacks
a tube bender is on the list. Probably going to split it with a buddy.
I just want to build this one differently than the last. I'm sticking with leaf springs though. i'm sold on em.
so anyway, back to the bikes. This is just one more thing. Once you get hooked it's hard to let it go. And i can build them comfortably in my basement which has become bike central. I can go rip through the woods and it's free, it's good for me, and it's a helluva good time.
my basement has pretty much been taken over by bikes. I should take a pic. there's 6 bikes down there at the moment. All in different stages of being built/dismantled lol.
Plus a few shelves worth of parts.
you get hooked man.

it's just one more thing to be into.
add that to the kayaks, the jeep, the guns, the geocaching, the camping, whatever. it's just toys.
Jeeps are a helluva lot of fun too, don't get me wrong. But building these bikes is a totally different thing.
I have 2 1970s schwinns i'm turning into fixies. that'll put my total at 8 bikes in my basement....
it's getting ridiculous.

I just bought easton monkey lite carbon bars and a e 70 carbon seaton post =)
I guess this is what I dont get, its a bike.
What happend to the days of getting a Wal-mart bike and riding it. Dont get me wrong I think dumping money in to a bycicle is cool and all, but for me thats money for the heep.

Trust me it makes a big difference. Try riding over rocks all day on a bike from Wal-Mart and see what happens. Its the same principle behind the reason people upgrade there jeeps. In order to do more stuff.
I used to be into bikes but not on the same platform as you guys are talking about. I used to ride freestyle bmx pretty heavily and dirt jumping was my main focus. I know what can get involved with building up a bike (at least for my style) and it was definitey a fun and involved process. Just like the Jeep world there are mods and companies to avoid, parts that are more beneficial than others, etc.

.....then again that used to be my motto until I got the Jeep...now THAT doesn't even work half the time.
