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

Yeah just thought it was a good idea to keep them topped off all the time since it sits sometimes for a week+ plus it can get pretty cold here.

I'm starting to suspect Ill need new ones soon though. The NATO Odyssey batteries seem like the best upgrade but holy crap they are expensive, plus I ...

Any possible issues using this on my two 12v NATO batteries in the Mog? I was tired of swapping my trickle charger over and got one of these 24v versions a while back (via a heavy discount on ebay)

This is probably the ultimate 4x4 (6x6) on earth to own. The rarity is way beyond what most understand and being into exotic 4x4's since the 90's, I've never seen anything like this come up for sale. A once and a lifetime situation. I've been around this Pinz a few times and it's the only one on ...

Thanks for the ideas. The budget is the main factor for me. So many small resto shops use the vinegar technique so I'm trying that one first I suppose. I think I'd have to buy too much of the speciality stuff to cover enough interior space of the tank due to the 40gal size.

The businesses that ...

Somehow I've avoided doing this on numerous trucks over the years but am facing a rusty tank issue on a big Unimog tank. I didn't think there was an issue in there but it must be hiding up the sides and/or on the ceiling of the tank because I'm getting deposits in my sediment/prefilter.

A lot of ...

Massively appreciated!
I feel good about where the site is now. This new host is a major upgrade so far.

The photo does no justice to how dangerous this was. The drivers were very lucky!
Got a call to rescue two Gov. agency owned 4x4s that had been stuck like this for 2 weeks, after they had spent a full day of attempts to free them using a backhoe and a loader, breaking several straps and got very ...

Looks like a full production "car/truck" version is now available.

I truly appreciate the 5 guys that ponied up! Thanks again guys ! We are good for now.

To the rest, I hope you find the info here helpful but it might not be free in the future. I could make this a members only forum. This would make it so a handful of people aren't supporting all the rest each ...

Seen the new Mobile 1 classic oil?

Well it's been a huge pain to get all this done but we are finally hosted on a much better and reliable system. Large pics should work great now and you might notice the pages are loading faster. There may be a few bugs to work out but so far it's better.

I came close to giving up on this whole ...

I wanted to invite any Pinz or Mog owner that might have an emergency issue to my new shop.

If you find yourself in the Reno, Lake Tahoe, Rubicon Trail, Carson City area, coming up the famous 395 highway or 50, and have a problem, feel free to limp on over. I have an acre with room to park big ...
