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

i found this Tire cover at a yard sale its well made and it looks ok on the PINZ.

How do you use the chain to keep the door open? ...or, do you not hold open your door?

Jeez Morris. Had to ask the tough question, didn't ya?

What a buzzkill.

I think it looks nice, but he does have a point.

Now somebody will have to invent a "door-holder-open" (there's probably a word in German for it) for people with spare tire covers.

I use a 2X4 jammed between the door and the frame. Not real elegant but it works.

Nice tire cover!

I only ask because I wanted to cover my spare but had a devil of a time trying to figure out how to use the chain and
I have a stop light in the center of the spare as well. I did have 33's on the pinz once and made a tire cover with a hole in the
center like a doughnut but gave it away when I got smaller tires. Have to make another when I get my sewing machine fixed.

It is a good looking cover just the same. Maybe put a MB star on it to confuse the tourists.

hahah i didnt even think about how i would use the chain , i just put it on and was like thats awesome . yeah but really that sucks i always use the chain i love the chain. i will try the 2x4 method see if i like it or not.

And with all the effort I've gone to convincing people to refer to my Pinz as ET (euro trash) and you come along labeling yours as FJ (foreign junk), foreign is ok however I just can't get into people referring to it as junk.

They make great sleds in the winter thats what we used ours for.

you come along labeling yours as FJ (foreign junk)

Ummm. I think that's "F*** Jeeps", if I'm not mistook.

And yes, I do still own that CJ-5, so don't go giving me too hard of a time!

Ah now that makes more sense, I keep forgetting they spell cheap with a J

Wedging something between the hinges of a door is a quick way to tweak something
Take it from someone that has made a living repairing commercial doors and from selling door hardware and consulting to companies on door problems and solutions.

maybe i can make a little door to access the chain . its pretty thick plastic.Then with green paint make the F a P. hahhahahhaahahah.

Dave,

Obviously, you don't sell Pinzgauer hinges as well then, huh? No sane American salesman would ever offer up such practical advice regarding items for which he sells replacements.

I bet you're the first guy in line offering up free 2x4s to the places that don't already have your hardware. Nice!

No, but he does have some of the best quality rocks and stones!

And can apparently deliver them in a flying dump truck!
