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

Thhanks, goood to o be anyywherre!.

Hands shake reallly bad, so I have my son post for me sometimes. Yeah, glad to be still kicking, and I think everyone else in town misses our truck, given the amount of free pull-outs we do around town with it in the winter! I got a reply from Joachim Halling at Coatex AB in Malmo, (the gentleman we...

The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated! Our rubber fuel line is split. This is the big one that connects the fuel filler pipe to the flange on the passenger side of the tank. It's roughly 2¾" diameter by roughly 10" or a foot long. Nobody local sells ethanol-safe rubber, (o...

Tall skinny tires, works every time.

Or, if you're a cheap bastige like me, you'd file a slot across both ends for a big screwdriver.

Go buy a cheap wrench at Wally-World and grind it flat. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes with a new grinding pad.

It's got a tube in it, and the ones I run on are much better, no dry rot. 5 new 900R16 STA Super Lugs in the fall.

None necessary, buddy. I welcome your input.

Petsmart has leather dog collars cheap. 1" wide, just right to replace the belts that hold your tow cable inside your spare. Cut to length, bolt in place. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy.

That thing is so ugly, it's beautiful! I love it. Nice job on the lights, too.

Yeah, instructions call for switched ACC only, not constant hot, so it must have some sort of power storage. It's a remote faceplate, so there's probably a small battery in it. Thanks for the heads up though. I'm holding off completing the install until the multimeter gets here so I can do it right.

Thanks! Don't have a Harbor Freight here, but I can order it online easy enough. Only $4.99, huh? Are you sure it's not cheap Chinese junk? (I don't want Vince to yell at me!

Thanks, Dan. Don't have a meter so we're doing it the old trial and error method. Maybe tomorrow, though, when I'm stronger. Chemo kicked my a$$ today.

Thanks all, I'm sure we'll get 'er working.

That's what I figured, guys. Just wasn't sure if the unswitched lines had to be used also for it to work. I'll try just using the switched lines. It was getting late, didn't get it to work. I probably didn't jump off a hot fuse terminal. (This was a gift from a well-meaning son, I kinda have to use ...
