Opps sorry Jim, I knew it only went on the side but in my mind that is "rolled

One heck of a story! I never realized the trailer went all the way around. Glad you were unhurt.

How is the FI coming? You get that thing to a dyno yet?

Jim Laguardia rolled his truck and the trailer with another Pinz on it while driving on the highway. The problem started with a low tire and bounced it's way to a roll over. I will never pull more than 2,500 pounds including trailer. This is due to the brakes/truck being lame in a panic stop WITHOUT...

I used to have trex side rails and they were nice. Something like teak may be to hard and cause damage to the body during a "rub".

I think you have to "hand pack" it. I use grease from Daystar that is super gooey and waterproof. It comes in small tubes so you might be able to push the lube into the gun without much mess.

I spent around 100 dollars going to a Hella upgrade. Well worth it.

I had the same problem a while back, Jim L. asked if I checked the molex connector and I said that I had. He then went over to my truck and simply pulled the red wire off the molex connector with almost no pressure. Yep broken......................

I felt like an idiot.

HOw to wire light in a series?

Does anyone have any info on this? I am wanting to wire my trailer lights in a series to run off the 24volt Pinz system.

Thanks

I am surprised that Jim L. has not chimed in on this thread. We both did the cd2 thing for awhile. But after pulling my heads we decided it was a waste of money. The only advantage to lead additive is that some think the valve seats are not "hardened". Save your money, (just my 25 cents, d...

Two safety "weak" points. Head on collision, Your jeep will fare much better in a head on. The stock front Pinz bumer is garbage and I recommend changing it out ASAP. Taillights and headlights, upgrade both. The stock stuff is to dim. I almost got creamed by a guy behind me with the stock ...

I am crazy happy with my aftermarket exhaust system. Very quiet, very long pipe under tool boxes with an additional silencer. It comes out the stock location as well.

Mine used to smell like exhaust. I put on a flexi coupler at the header/heater box and it went away. Do you still have the stock setup?

limiting straps, Best price?

Wel looks like a Pinz is not all that indestructable! I was out having a bit of fun and failed one strap completely and two others need to be replaced.

Ouch, Not what I needed right now. Anyway who has the best price on them?
