    Anyone have suggestions/comments for aluminum radiators for a first gen? My CBR is dead and I wanna check options before spending $500 on a new one. Seen some stock replacement all aluminum ones on the net but don't know how good the quality is

    I got a toyota pick up radiator like el rojo. Not bolt in but very little fab work gets it mounted. I'm hoping to do mine soon. It holds a whole bunch of water.

    I'm looking for shocks in the rear for sure but taking my time doing a ton of research before pulling the trigger probably going to be a couple months minimum before even having funds lots of other projects for the truck at the moment. Glass fenders front and rear bumper along with sliders all building myself thanks though keep me posted

    If it's just the clocking of the steering wheel it's prob just the whole rack shifting side to side on the crossmember. It happens. Check the two bolts and make sure they are tight.

    Same problem here. It takes a hard hit to do it, but I usually have at least one hard hit every time I offroad. I haven't figured it out...kinda gave up on it.

    If you search other states CL sites (i.e. Cali, Nevada, etc) they have shocks come up every now and again.

    I used an alum one for a 3.0 which tucked it up in between the frame instead of hanging down low. It works great with stock fan.... I need a new one though, the roll tweaked the core support and cause the rad to get a small leak.
