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

Mogfest was a hoot! From Nick's M939 frankenstein camper (with a HEMTT grafted cab) doing 7 point turns on the trail to Kai's valveless pulse jet powered motorcycle running through the desert in the dark, we all had a great time. No carnage on the relatively easy trail run on Saturday which was appr...

Only available on the luxury edition.

Certainly goes back to basics when you need to wire the doors shut!

A meter - a unit of distance closely related to a cubit. Obviously!

But it does appear to have Portals...

but she takes a while to start..... How long between starts does this happen? If you only attempt to start it every week or two then I would suggest that the carb bowls have dried up and are not getting refilled in a timely manner (priming issues due to air leaks, or a pump issue). If this happens ...

Many 24 to 12V converters will benefit from some additional capacitance added to the output (~2,000 uf is a reasonable value) to ensure that the converter can supply the surges of current that the SSI needs. However, some converters won't start up properly if too much extra capacitance is added. As ...

Fluid shot out after removing the switch. If the rod was out of adjustment and won't let the piston release all the way, the port to the reservoir would be blocked (opens only when the piston releases all the way). This would prevent any release pressure from venting back into the reservoir, and pr...

Yes, I'll get this posting updated but it may be a couple of weeks as I am traveling soon.

I was talking with EV West yesterday; they have been very busy with real, paying work so the Pinz has sat patiently awaiting its turn. I was told that the goal was to take it (completed) to King of the Hammers in early February. We'll see if that becomes a reality.

Don't tell me you got another War Pig...

Electric conversion is easy; it is the conversion in people's minds from essentially unlimited range with a 5 minute fill-up (with liquid fuel) to the more limited range and much longer recharge times for most battery systems and chargers that is the hard part. Yes, things are improving, but not fas...

Too often we seem to forget these are an old school (gun) tractors with no emission controls or computer modules. They cough, spit and fart as the beasts they are :twisted: and should not be compared to, or attempt to be tamed into, the docile, domesticated, urbanized pets modern vehicles have beco...

No idea why its upsidedown.

Those are strong magnets!!!
