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!"

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

Re: Offroading advice
May not have power steering however compared to a patrol…
Also at the risk of controversy I’d stay away from steering wheel knobs aka wrist breakers.

Re: Offroading advice
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.

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

Re: Offroading advice
I had the same thought but then remembered his other garage mates.
Of course there's now one wheeling as an option too.

Re: Offroading advice
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 parkMcCall Pinz wrote:Given the original subject of the thread, I thought it was going to be 3 wheeling in the Pinz.

You are setting yourself as the instigator to start an international incident.
