i peeled one of my tires off the rim in sum ruts the other day, will tubes help with this problem?? or is it worth getting internal beadlocks? its only happend once. cheers

What pressure are you running? I always run over 20psi never had a tire let go.
If you run low pressure bead locks will help. tubes will just tear the stem out with low pressure

was running 12 lol, i wont be goin below 20 now tho because i just got 10inch rims and they dnt hold the bead on aswell rite?

I hope thats not 10 inch rims with the 235 tyres from your other post. They will pop off the bead at full pressure if you look at them sideways.
Tubes help heaps Ive popped a bead at 20psi but as I had tubes it just sat off the bead till I had time to put the compressor on it. (Naughty ruts). Therory is that you can run under 20 with tubes but there is a catch. You can spin the tyre on the rim at low pressures which will tear off the valve stem Also crud gets between the tube and tyre causing more punctures. Ive also seen beadlocks cut a tube. Best answer is internal beadlocks. Unlike proper beadlocks they dont need cert and only require an extra hole in the rim. The catch is they cost 1200

is it possible to fit a steering damper on a bighorn?

Interesting question. On mine the original center arm did not have a mount for one but the replacement did. Would need to make a fixed mount for the other end. Ive never had problems that would be solved with a damper but Im only running a 50mm lift and 32 inch tyres
