Re: considering conversion of c303 to electric...
I don't see any reason you could not do this, I have considered it myself. The motor is no problem, an adaptor can be made and it's not like the original motors produced high horsepower. The problem is the cost of batteries, standard car batteries are to heavy and bulky and Lithium Ion is too expens...

Re: Ring metal for axel boot.
Don't know if this would be applicable in this case but whenever I have to deal with O-rings I use good old fashion Petroleum Jelly. It is sticky enough to temporarily hold it in place while providing some lubricant to keep it from twisting while installing the two parts together. Like I said don't ...

Re: Why ?
When I purchased my Pinzgauer it was lined on the inside with some form of spray in liner, don't know the brand but they didn't mask any of the wiring or hydralic lines so it was every where the spray could reach. It was sprayed in the entire cab are below the roll bars and also in the entire bed ag...

Re: Big bang, now metal "rattling" sound...yikes!
A bore scope is the way to go before pulling the front diff assembly, just remove the top plug with the ring on it and inspect with the bore scope first. Best investment in a tool I ever made.

Re: Powder coating engine cooling tin
The tins were only meant to channel the air; retaining or dissipating heat really was not an issue, so Powder Coat away.

Re: it really can't be this hard, can it? (split axle boot)
If it's pulling loose you need to push the section wrapped around the axle further towards the differential by about one more inch+, the split boots don't flex in the same manner or as easily as the original boot so they need to be pushed in further. The tighter you can push it inward to the diferen...

If you are installing these and want to have a easy replacement in the field with a spare the Military wire connectors can be purchased from here: http://www.willysjeepparts.com/Wiring_C.htm Best prices around, not the fastest service and odd billing, but honest. They bill the item cost and then bil...

Re: Custom light weight (with zip in zip out windows) door t
When I had my Jeep years ago with the soft top doors, they would want to pull out at the top due to the difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the Jeep. It should be worse on the Pinz even at 55 mph, wanting to keep the design light as well as strong enough to handle the air pr...

Re: Custom light weight (with zip in zip out windows) door t
Personally I would like to see the frames break down and store into a piece of 2" plastic pipe that could be stored behind the seats. Anything else is pretty much worthless in my mind. My thoughts as well, it should stow in a compact form and go together easily. No screws a few pins and some v...

Re: Transfer cased just popped out of Hi range into neutral
Check to see if the adjustment has loosened on the shifter linkage, if I remember right there is an adjustment, just can't recall if it's at the shifter end or at the transfer case. Should be an easy fix.
Also may be worth checking the oil level of the transfer case.
