Magellan TRX7 CS

I added a TRX7 for the Pinzgauers for use offroad. I currently have a Garmin Montana 650 and a Garmin Zuomo 595 for my adventure and dirt bikes. Great units for bikes, but I thought I would give the almost tablet sized TRx a go for the trucks. The menus are easy to follow and very user friendly. Nav...

Re: Disc brake conversion

Nice job!

Do you have any pics of the wheels painted? I have ordered a kit and those wheels as well. Trying to figure out what color and process (pwd/coat,paint) im going with.

Re: Overdrive parts available soon

Those vettes were less than 250hp but torque was a little above 300ft lbs...puny by todays standards but i agree more robust more than likely than the laycock

ARB 24v air compressor install

I finally got around to roughing in the install of the arb compressor that has been sitting on my desk for months. I originally thought i would mount it in the tool box but repeated warnings in the manual about submersing changed my mind. I decided to mount it behind the ds seat in the rear. It fits...

Re: 710M rear door/spare....how much weight can it hold?

Im going to use a jeep bumper/foot mount for the hi lift and make a bracket to stand it off the body. The slope of the bumper is no problem because of the slight pivot on the base of the jack (enables it to stand straight). The bug out rack needed to be mounted that way due to the maxtrax harness an...

Re: 710M rear door/spare....how much weight can it hold?

Got the first bit of weight via the ups guy yesterday. I took the sage advice of a member that pm'ed me and mounted it as close to the door as possible. The bugout rack is pretty nice and is (imo) a great way to keep the constant smell of fuel out of the cabin. Im going to mount 2 maxtrax with their...

710M rear door/spare....how much weight can it hold?

I am wanting to mount some items to the spare tire. I realize the door and hinges arent exactly beefy in their construction. Mule expedition is building me 2 of the braces that the sars pinz has installed. Just looking for thoughts on what folks think is possible weight wise on the spare. Maybe some...

Re: Super Swampers 34x9/16...how low on stock wheels?

I have only had them out twice and nothing extreme enough to experience rub if its going to happen. I was concerned after mounting....it will be close for sure. I might as well get the transit wheels....im going to end up with the disc conversion anyway im sure[emoji16] Your comments on contact patc...

Re: Super Swampers 34x9/16...how low on stock wheels?

Pros on the tires: great traction offroad, very impressed. Cons: super sketchy on road. Loud. Took 8 mph off top speed up my short mtn rd (32mph in 4th versus 40mph with smaller tires when i purchased). Probably the most out of round tire ive seen, tons of weight to get it even close. Here they are ...

Re: Evapo Rust

Final product. Managed to even get everything flushed/bled today (it looked like slimey brown goo in old lines) using my new motive bleeder....great product..

Id recommend the evapo rust.....so simple and safe to use and great results.
