Ya, I guess I am the guilty party here with a somewhat less than complimentary comment about SAV's belts
Just to clear the air, I am a HUGE fan of SAV, I should give Willie a call on the belts though.

I like the Hoola Camo on that wiper motor

SAV has 1/2 thickness shims. I have found cases where adding the stock shim was TOO tight, delete one stock Shim was too loose. These 1/2 thickness shims solved that problem. I toque to spec and have never had a case where the nut loosened, but now you have me think'n about Blue Loctite. Now that I ...

If you looked at my posting on Valve Seat Ression see the PIX. That was #1 and had Zero PSI. If you have older heads that have never been re-worked, then the seat will NOT be hardened. This may not be a problem for you if don't run your Pinz at high load and RPM e.g. long HWY runs. If this is your s...

Lucas sells an "Octane" booster, that uses MMT as an additive. MMT will provide a metallic salt at the valve seat and prevent wear. This additive was used in the U.S. as a lead substitute after the removal of Lead for some number of years. More on this here: http://real4x4forums.com/Pinzga...

Wow! Now that's a real nice rig! 35G's though, I think I'll pass

Was this for target practice? Ask'n a lot for a bit of a heap unless shipping is free

Although a tad more expensive, the BaoFeng BF-F9 V2+ is functionally
the same as the UV5R but 2X the power at the antenna. You should also
invest in the programming cable. Programming these puppies from the
keypad is a PITA. Amazon is the place to go...

Don't drink the water up there, it'll be more than a bad case of diarrhea.

Congratulations, very nice Pinz.

There are rules/restrictions for GMRS and in fact all bands for that matter. For GMRS you need a license to operate, but no test just a $65 payment and then anyone in your immediate family gets to play on this band using your lic. The restrictions are POWER level 50W max, a restriction on antenna he...

Perhaps serendipitous, maybe it's called a Pinzgauer because like the horse of it's name they need a lot of care and feeding -- unlike a Jeep which can be taken care of by just about any shop within a city block. So....if your passion 90% SAR and 10% the horse your riding you may find your Jeep a be...

Here is a real bargain for GMRS/FRS capability http://www.ebay.com/itm/181970803719?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Typically your well north of $200 for a radio like this at this power level and rock SOLID ICOM engineering at $75 a pop this is cheap. Although GMRS is ...

Fini, Done, Kaputt -- too bad.

BMW had something similar, twice the power and a "front loader".
I think the body ideas came out of post war Italy ala Fiat, the BMW isetta 300.
Didn't take long for these guys to eventually eat our lunch though
