Thanks guys.

Ya, I became aware of potential issues with my thumbs if I wasn't careful! That wheel can move when it wants too! I also had to explain the lack of PS to a few guys and what that means on a trail, as the obstacle guide is telling me to "TURN! TURN!"....and my reply, "I am! I am!" :mrgreen:

Parallel parking the 712 enabled me to cancel my gym membership too!

May not have power steering however compared to a patrol… :lol:

Also at the risk of controversy I’d stay away from steering wheel knobs aka wrist breakers.

I know Pat in Co. is running power steering in his truck and has been for a little while now.



It is one of the mods I would like to see one of our local boys (when he gets out from under the volvo) get developed because I don't want to have to.

True enough...but I can tighten down the damper to simulate a Pinz! :mrgreen:

Given the original subject of the thread, I thought it was going to be 3 wheeling in the Pinz. :D

I had the same thought but then remembered his other garage mates.

Of course there's now one wheeling as an option too.

Parking lot driving??? unless you're talking about a 712. I even had my 716 tiddering on 2 wheels at last years Mogfest ... and that was just making a U turn in the middle of a narrow trail ( an idiot in American steel decided the turnout was a good place to park :evil: ) , and TDs do not have check straps on the axles!.... Jim was impressed. :D
