Re: tankbuster Volvo

For you Volvo guys, this is actually a "Laplander" or "Valp" or 3314 chassis with a different body than the usual hard-cab, which is the one often confused with the C303 (TBG's). The later version of this with the hard cab was called the C202, for civilian use. These 3314/3304's ...

Re: tankbuster Volvo

Yeah that's a rare one for sure. I think I heard of only one for sale over the years.

Re: heater fuel pump inop (710K)

There used to be a guy that worked on these and had some parts but my recent experience trying to get one repaired for a project truck proved next to impossible. It's much easier just to get a new heater, but they cost serious money.

Re: The Warn Pinzgauer

That thing seriously needs a winch back on the front! I assume a Warn is what you will want. A 24v XD9000 would work nice but Scott has some nice SW Talon's for sale; you could just put a Warn sticker on it. :) With those tires and lack of big power, the dunes may not be that much fun. They will dig...

Re: 710k for sale

It's amazing how after 10 years of this style of scam, that these pieces of sh** don't realize how often they give themselves away by simply poorly spacing their periods and the next sentence, as well as often capitalizing every word in an ad heading. The overly white-guy sounding names is a classic...

Documentary that I worked on playing in theaters...

"Terms and Conditions May Apply" is a documentary that I worked over the last couple years. I was mainly doing camera work on this one (not producing). If anyone near these cities is remotely interested in serious privacy concerns, check it out! New theaters are being booked often. Hopeful...

Another hiking death

This serves as a good reminder to plan well and know what you are getting into, esp. in the heat.

Off-roading and lunch near SanFran. Aug.

This is open to G's, Mogs and Pinzgauers. It's a Sat. afternoon trail run and lunch event. It's too far to justify the drive for me but if someone is closer, might be fun.

Re: Granada-Dakar Rally Entry: '87 Lamborghini LM002 for Sal

I remember reading about these in a 4x4 book that I got in my teens and thinking how cool it was (at that time!). One of the notable facts in the book were the custom, Z-rated all-terrain tires that only Pirelli makes for it, at a cost of several $1000 each. I think it got some horrific MPG rating a...

Nano water repellent spray

I'm still trying to think of how this might apply to camping/off-roading. Never seen anything quite like that. I wonder how durable it is? What if you did your tires (sidewalls) with it? Top? Behind panels and carpet, it looks like it might be a unique way to prevent rust as well. http://youtu.be/DZ...

Re: The Warn Pinzgauer

Oh yeah I may have that magazine edition still, somewhere. I have a few of the tapes from the 90's and up to the one I was in. My own footage and photos of the '02 race were stolen right after we finished at a hotel on the Mediterranean. I also have a few very rare euro-only Camel Trophy tapes that ...

Re: The Warn Pinzgauer

The Warn Pinz was part of the early/mid 90's 4x4 magazine articles and news that got me obsessed with racing in the Croatia Trophy, oddly enough, in a (more appropriately race modified) Austrian 712M, although it took till 2002 to make that a reality. Just imagine a time where news of such things ca...

Re: Soft Shackles - making some - anyone every use them?

I have one of those (Factor 55) pieces and it's built really well and tested like crazy. I feel weird with alum too but it's not typical. The main reason for it is the size of the opening. A typical winch cable thimble is no where near big enough for even a 3/4 pin.
