THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

The stock routing works fine. There's little option for other routes anyway. Flexing your axle will likely hit it, there are heat concerns, etc. I had a far superior exhaust than stock built by a small custom shop. They used a Flowmaster muffler. I actually gained ground clearance and it looked nice...

"Army Regiment wear ceremonial attire and drive in their liveried Pinzgauer..." I think it's for this kind of thing only.

"The Honourable Artillery Company, the City of London's Reserve Army Regiment wear ceremonial attire and drive in their liveried Pinzgauer vehicles at The Tower of London" Gun salute for Prince Philip: Artillery in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Gibraltar join Royal Navy warships in firing 41 rounds...

Someone finally found a use for Jeep!

Lexus for sale!

Thought I'd share the rarest barn-find I'll probably ever come across. This is an untouched, 1979 model Warn 8274 winch with everything it came with at the time. I'll be asking a steep price. Ideal for museum-quality period-accurate resto builds. (It's not 24v but could be!)

I really need a collapsible coiler/winder/reeler USED. I can only find new ones but they want $400-700 for them! :shock: I definitely can't afford that so Im searching for a used one. I looked everywhere I can imagine from ebay to Clist to gov auction sites. Hardware stores often have them so Ive be...

At least the air intake is above still...

Yeah, Comeup is yet another in a long list of companies who make things seem like they are US made but are far from it. Warn does make a Chinese version of their winches because they have to compete with all the junk out there but the rest are made in Oregon with some electrical parts being imported...

In prepping two very different winches this week, I thought I'd share a part size-comparison to help illustrate why I tell people to carefully consider the size/weight capacity of the winch they think they want. The left is the drum support of an M8000 Warn (older version '80's) and on the right is ...

54,264 RPM?

Jeep engine blows up (or disappears). Probably shouldnt tow your Cheep in low range.

EV West stated that they are still technically working on the Pinz but its a low priority since it is shop owned and not a customer project that they are getting paid for. If I had the money I'd take it over as a paying customer. I'd love to see it reach at least 250 miles range which sounds very po...

What do you torque it to?

Those use a simple crimped electrical type connector on the wire or rope which bolts into the side of the drum with a small allen bolt, so its the same set-up either way. As you may know the connection to the drum is not designed to support any tension at all, but it's simply a way to keep the rope ...

It was over the top cost-wise, for me, when I looked into it. The question is, why put tempered glass in anyway? Several cars actually have laminate glass on the sides. (I was a fireman for many years who did lots of auto rescue work and trained often in junk yards, busting windshields and side glas...
