I had a sheet metal shop put a series of creases in mine to make the corners uniform and much more rigid. Once the crease angles were figured out I had them make a 12 inch strip of 16ga sheet metal which I put on the sub frame first. The heavier metal under the aluminum top has saved me a considerab...

That would be Tony's (contact info on the SWPA website). He does a full hard top. He does not like to have the front canvas rolled back. He also uses sheet metal with 3/32 holes in it to aid in security of items in the back of his truck. The hard top fabrication is not all that difficult. We attach ...

Andy, you are correct. I made a rear metal top and used the sides from 2 710 tops to achieve the canvas sides. I used the C rail from an RV awning to attach the canvas as it makes it water tight and also easy to remove for repairs or cleaning. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v721/6x6pinz/100_2643....

It was a piece of cake once I flexed the windscreen. New question: The Pinz has the Maloya tires - should I keep them until they die or replace them? And if you suggest replacing them - I mainly drive the Pinz on-road and the occasional off-road adventure (dirt roads with some rocks). Not my first ...

While it is an excellent idea I can not take credit for it. I felt really stupid the first time I saw it done. My old front tops had shrunk to the point where removing them was a great chore until I was shown this method. The new tops on them now make installation so much easier. Another great idea ...

Erik On a Phoenix afternoon, driving west on the freeway (60mph) in the summer time I have seen the oil gauge go to 230. As soon as I leave the freeway it returns to 215 in town regardless of the time of year. Good idea to look the truck over very close when it is not the same as usual. Have you loo...

busy time of year. We just had our maintenance day here getting ready for our treffen in a couple of weeks. Of course this weekend is opening duck so my pinzies won't see any rest until march. When I did the Truck Universe thing they were supposed to send a dvd and let me know when it aired. Of cour...

Jay Unless Juergen has a backup of the site it is gone for ever. The hosting company we had the sites on is no longer. The SWPA is on a new hosting company and much safer now. I did the breaker replacement in my 712 after reading about your work. They have been there since with no problems. At the t...

Yeah. If the truck was running fine and then all of a sudden started acting up this is probably one of the most common problems. Happened to me after a long trip home from a hunting trip with a couple of new guys. They were less than impressed with the truck when I could not keep it running. Problem...
