Had the Pinz and newly painted trailer out today

Build projects, things that guys have come up with to make a Pinz better (or worse?) and aftermarket add-ons.

Had the Pinz and newly painted trailer out today

Post by Dr-Nuts »

Finally finished up color matching the trailer to the pinz. If I could find the Pinz tarp/cover material I would have a new cover made for the trailer but I think it still looks nice and pulls like a dream. At 28 feel long she takes up some space.

Looks great - also looks like if you backed up 5-6 feet your tires would fit between the white parking lines :mrgreen:

Thanks for the kind words. Some guys have said the trailer would be too much for the Pinz but honestly it pulled like a dream and only noticed it back there when going up a steep hill and even then it was not a problem. This past Sat we took a boy scout troop on a 175 mile trip to dropped them off at a put in on the Appalachian trail in CT. Long drive but the boys had fun. It was nice putting all their hiking gear in the trailer freeing up room in the Pinz.

Do you find a big need for the hubsteps on the rear axles?

No not really but it does help with side loading and if you get stuck in the mud we have a pipe that goes into the step and then it can be jacked up from that point to put something under the wheel.

I might make some hub steps for the rear of the 710. I like the idea of having a jack point back there, not really a difficult thing to make.
