I'm so happy I found this forum. I ordered my TB the Monday after Thanksgiving in 2001, and took delivery on 12/21/01. I ordered it with the G80 and 4.10 gears for towing, and off-roadability. Since I've owned it, I've towed everything from muscle cars to farm tractors. It got it's first scratch in the forest trails the weekend after I bought it, and has been from the beaches in the Outer Banks to the logging trails in Northern Ontario. Overall, it's been safe and reliable transportation for my family for 140,000 miles.
I gave up looking for modifications to improve the offroad performance many years ago, since there just wasn't anything out there. Last week in frustration after breaking the 4th set of sway bar end links, I turned to Google. That led me to Trailvoy and Suspensionmaxx, and then here.
Seeing that there are actually options now has me very excited! I've been reading your build-ups and offroad excurisons, and am looking forward to joining your ranks.

Welcome to the site dude! Out of curiosity, what's the weight capacity of your motorcycle rack? I'm having difficulty finding one (if even available) for my 400lb Ninja 650.

Thanks for the welcome. They say the total capacity is 600 lbs. Each of the bikes I have are right around 200 lbs, so I haven't hit the limit yet.
