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

looking good. Nice solution to fix the unequal length intakes.

None of that helps when they drag it onto a trailer and drive away (the GPS may help locate it). Depending on where you live, GPS is probably the best. Someone would have to be pretty familiar with a Pinz to know the battery cut off switch. You could easily add a switch inline to the coil and anoth...

With some 255/85r16's mounted up to rims from Dennis @ Linden Eng in Golden, CO the trailer matches the Pinz! That's the end for now...

I had to wait a few weeks for an opening at my friend's CNC mill. He makes unique frontends/handguards for AR's and is really swamped, but he took the time to make some custom wheel adapters from my CAD file. After tapping the holes and loctite-ing the correct studs, they turned out perfectly. Here'...

In early March I had a construction project underway and needed to put the trailer to use so that forced me to put the fenders on, wire up the tail lights, and get it generally road-worthy.

They pull so easy, you hardly even know they're back there. You're right, in fact I want to put a flag on it so I can tell its still there. So, then I could concentrate on the tub, but since I still wanted to load the trailer with wood and construction materials, I didn't want to spend much time or...

Surprisingly the bolts weren't rusted and the trailer's frame was straight and in good condition. All it needed was a good wire brushing and black spray paint. While it was apart, I had a 2" hitch welded to the frame for a bike rack or other accessories. Since the wiring harness was shot and a ...

I'm going to have to post a little bit at a time although the trailer is mostly done now. I found out a little history on it. A father and son from Odessa TX came to the area every summer to work a mining claim near here and they brought the trailer and a surplus jeep with them. They probably filled...

This trailer was in pretty rough shape, so a true restoration wouldn't be in the cards. That was fine with me since I didn't have grand visions for the trailer. It needed to stay a multi-use, Swiss-army-knife trailer, just like the Pinzgauer. It needed to work for camping, mountain-biking, wood-cutt...

The idea of an M416 trailer for the Pinz has been kicking around in my mind for a while. I was impressed with Krick3tt's M416 trailer when he came through McCall a few years ago. You've probably all seen the little trailer in his signature. I thought those trailers looked "right" with the ...

Would placing a scoop on the Webesto grill port (behind driver) force enough air in to benefit circulation? Little to no modification is required. I think you'll want to test that location with a mockup to see. The scoop should probably be located in a spot that would pressurize the interior- not d...

I have a phone case and stuck on a quad lock mount using 3m vhb 2-sided tape and it is great. Let it stick together for a few days before testing the bond.

Post a gps coordinate and a date for the Treffen! Looks like fun.

I haven't completely confirmed this, but they look identical to the ones in my 83 VW gti.

Pretty sure they shouldn't be painted because of the effect on cooling.

Edit- I just found this... Depending on who believe, the VW guys will use black primer.
