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

For me it was the ability to get down to a known layer and redo it. I know some on the facebook page disagreed with me as they thought I was taking the alu-zinc coating off. The red oxide primer is the same stuff the military uses for everything they have and I believe it will do as good a job over ...

I'm happy to report that I'm back in the driving business. Long story short the ignition timing was all jacked up and the lower exhaust manifold seal was shot and I was loosing all my power out the leak there, it was pretty bad. That plus the timing was just not drive able, but after finding a mecha...

Any chance you'll be swinging up through the PNW, Portland specifically?

I went with the truck-lite lights. They have been fantastic with no flicker and a ton of light. They were just plug and play. Just don't plug them in when the trucks on... I did blow my headlight relay being a dummy. One went in super easy, the other one was a little more of a challenge because the ...

I have not thought about doing it, I am planning on putting at least two more coats of paint on once the weather gets nicer and I can build a small pvc and plastic paint booth in my driveway. (which I should have done the first time). I don't know if I would put a coat of epoxy on after that is done...

Haven't gotten to do any real trouble shooting yet. I am pretty sure I need to adjust my ignition timing and I'm going to install an electronic ignition. I've now learned about points and how to mess them up leaving the key on when trouble shooting electronics. Ah... I knew I wanted an electronic ig...

Haven't tracked down the problem yet... grounding issue? Maybe. It's been pretty terrible weather out and I just haven't been motivated to do the testing needed to track down the issue. I did figure a good use for the machine gun but stock holder. https://aclark79.smugmug.com/Volv-TGB-1111/Volvo-TGB...

Looks great and looks stock.

Like aclark79 I use a Deltran Battery Tender but I found this one: http://amazon.com/Battery-Tender-022-0165-DL-WH-12-Volt-Management/dp/B000NCOKV0/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1450673353&sr=8-6&keywords=battery+tender 81kOUfNHveL._SX522_.jpg It charges each battery independently which works ...

I have one of these hooked up to my 2 12v batteries and use it when I plan to leave it sitting for a while. I don't have mine mounted...

Nice! I expect lots of pictures.

If you want to grab a burger and a beer when you come through Portland hit me up!

So after swapping the relay I was initially very disappointed when the lights still did not work. Checking and re checking and checking voltages and then after receiving some advice I checked the wires connecting the blackout light switch and sure enough, one had come loose and disconnected. After p...

Oregon!

Hopefully we can go wheeling soon!

No clue, but the relay does the headlights, low and high as well as the hazard flashers and all the running lights... so maybe the combination of all that together?
