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

Thanks for the info guys! Yes this is for a Volvo.

I was getting ready to hook up the "third eye" brake setup MadMax mentioned and realized my rear brake lights don't work.

What steps should I take to trouble shoot? Looks like all fuses are good, I can't find a relay that mentions "brake" in the manual.

Thanks-

Here you can see it in "camping mode".

Climbed some hills but not the big one pictured. I think additional horsepower would improve it's sand capabilities.

Took advantage of the Spring like weather in Oregon this weekend and headed for the coast. First time taking the C303 out in the sand. Ran the tires at 20psi, seems like they could go lower. Lockers came in handy many times. Overall it feels a bit under powered but was a total blast! Here are a few ...

Thanks for the deets Madmax! I got quoted $225 to reupholster so $318 for those sweet seats doesn't seem too bad. As for pics I attached one of my favorite. I just love the instrumentation in the Volvo. :-) Here are some pics from when I took it out to a Bill Burke class in Bend, OR. Blew a front bo...

Thanks for sharing the video. I plan on doing that brake light upgrade.

I noticed the seats weren't stock. What make/model did you find that fits? Was it alot of work to modify them?

Given our proximity MadMax I hope the Volvos can go play in the muds together someday!

http://www.northwestmogfest.com <-- Great event in Oregon, I plan on going again this year.

Awesome, I'll drop you an email Andre.

Love this overlay of various rigs. Really puts size into perspective!

Does anyone know where in the US you can get a receiver hitch like the one in this picture? (Or do I need to fab one?)

I currently have a pintle but would like to swap it over so I can pull my trailer.

Thanks-

Yep. Aluminum rollups, it's the fire truck setup. I like the side ones alot, wouldn't mind a normal door on the back.

Took the C303 out between Madras/Prineville for a few days of camping. A bit of mud, bit of snow, it was cold!

Love the brake light idea! The thin slits in the back may be good for convoys but on the road I'd like to be seen. ;-) Are you still 24v but have 12v running all over the truck as well? BTW: Totally agree with "until I get a garage around it and a slab under it I have to just keep it protected ...

Ah the boots! They have been my been biggest issue with the Volvo C303 thus far... * Both were split when purchased * Replaced both * One side came loose at Mogfest (rubber pulled out from between the two metal plates cause bolts loosened up, my bad) * It's happened several more times, same side, ev...
