I was looking at some of the pictures of the disco's on this site and I noticed a lot of them have cables running from the roof rack to the bull bars. Whats this for? This is a dumb question so thank you for your answers |

They are called limb risers. They push away branches from the hood, glass and body of the vehicle. You can also use them to dry your clothes .... |

they are called limb-risers, they direct low hanging branches up and over your truck so they don't scrape the sides. I don't have any, hence all the scratches in my paint. |

I have a nice set and still have scratches. Should have invested the $200 in a buffer.

Should have saved yourself $170 and made them on your own AND bought the buffer. LOL

I did make them on my own - marine-grade hardware costs a bit more than galvie stuff from OSH.

If i remake mine, thats the way I will go too Erik. Either way, you still have plenty of $$ for the buffer after.

A "buffer" is the part of memory that remembers the keys you pressed while your computer is doing something else, so that when your computer is ready it goes ahead and puts all those keys you pressed up on the screen for you.
Back in the day, DOS only had a buffer big enough for 1 keypress. A buffer like this would probably be too small for Erik's Land Rover so he'd probably have to get the Windows version.
Personally I think my description is a lot better than muskyman's and I managed to do it without putting down any farking newbies, haha ;-) |

My buffer can never be big enough - now if I could just find that Swedish cache enlarger...

Sorry, but the buffer on all original IBM PCs and clones was 16 bytes. Not that it makes any difference. |

DOS KEYBOARD buffer was only 1 byte IIRC. |
