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

Seems like a good price for how clean that is.

I really like the two tone interior. Is that an upholstery shop job or did you buy covers? Please say covers as I desperately need some!

Looks super clean! Glws

Thanks rmel, that makes sense. I'll run from the battery to the converter then just use the battery disconnect to keep it off for storage...no need to complicate things. Forgot that was an option, even though I use it all the time!

Nope, don't have a converter yet :) When wiring one up, I assume you just pull power off the starter stud or is it advisable to run a separate lead all the way over direct to the batteries? Also, should I wire up a HD relay to turn on the converter power with ignition (or the such) to minimize any v...

Right on! Nice work man!

Why was the restrictive preferred over the free flow?

Interesting, that makes sense. The wheels I'm using are factory Ford takeoffs (stamped Ford on the surface) with the funky Ford lug nuts. They were included with my wheel purchase so I'm using them, plus it gives me the option of snapping on wheel covers too, lol.

I made the switch to Transit wheels and added my findings to this thread here. http://real4x4forums.com/PinzgauerBBS/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10169 Basically, according to my measurements, the Transit wheels and factory Transit nuts have approximately .090" less thread engagement than factory w...

I just installed my Transit wheels today and took a couple pics of the thread engagement. Here's a pic of the stock wheel, all torqued up with one nut removed. IMG_20211124_110803560_HDR.jpg IMG_20211124_110757693_HDR.jpg It has about .625" of stud protruding. Here is a pic of the Transit wheel...

Thanks Ron, good info there. I had no idea what the specifics of the IP ratings were, or even what IP stood for honestly, other than the higher the number(s) the better the protection. As my requirements for amperage draw are so low and insignificant, I think I'll go with the fully potted IP67 20 am...

Bringing this back around... What's the difference between the Victron IP67 converters and the Orion style ones. The IP67, which seems like what I want in an open top rig, is waaay cheaper than the equivalent Orion counterpart. Why? What am I missing here? https://www.victronenergy.com/dc-dc-convert...

These are sold, thanks all.

As far as I know, they are some of Thilo's from way back when. They appear to be well made and are Tig welded from the backside.
