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

She will be topless for a while,but the box arrives tomorrow. To surmise,My topless Swedish friends box will be here tomorrow

My 712 isn't too far away if you need a test mule.

I bet it's going to be a little tougher to put air ride on the rear of the 712. After all they put rear air ride on Dave's ride, from the factory and never put it on the 718. The center pendulum going to make it tuff

can you make a pinzgauer jump with something like this setup, i would love to see a pinz with powerful enough hydraulics to make it bounce

Congrats on the new "Sweetish" toy! What condition is it in? what are your plans? Going to add an AC unit, or cage, like the 712?

Yes, agreed.

Mechanically it,s quite good,some rust issues but no big deal.The big issue is it is painted a pea green metallic and a poor job at that.
looking to make a camper,a/c ,generator,water tank,etc...make a mini motorhome! Trying to make things more comfy for my bride..Now I need to build her laundry room the way she wants it. She originally said no more trucks until I finished that job. I used my usual charm and presto! I have a Volvo! She is way too nice to me.....

Sounds like jeeps army rescue green?

Lucky you the wife told me, I had to sell one before I could buy another one.

This suspension system wasn't designed to be able to make the Pinz Jump... you'd probably want hydraulic rams or something ... But we can change both of the rear tires (one at a time) without a jack. We just deflate one front side and inflate the other front, as well as inflate the opposite rear side... the result is the rear tire lifts off the ground enough to change it...

That is cool!!! Really wasn't entrusted until you mentioned that

I've struggled changing tires in the middle of know were. find enough large rocks to put under the jack so that it will extend enough to put the spare on.

You could still freak people out. The Pinz draws alot of attention anyway. Imagine being at max lift at one light and bottomed out at the next light next to the same car from the previous light. Or maybe pull up with a pronounced list to the port side.

Couple big hunks of 4 X 6, or a 4 X 6 and a 2 X 4, will usually get a jack in place.

See that's great and a verry goood upgrade for a pinz....makes me wonder......can i put this under R2???

yes!!! do it!!!!

I'm not trying to steal the spotlight here,but there was requests for pics of the Volvo on this thread,so visit down below.

Is there a estimate on cost available yet? I would be willing to put money down if nessisary to aquire the mentioned kit.

Here are two photos with a measuring tape:

Although its not the recommended method for changing a tire, the system can put a rear tire in the air. Here is a video of lifting a rear tire:
