Lots of wheeling in New Mexico. Plus utah and colorado are very close.

Some of the largest offroad comps occur here in the great state of NM.

All depends on your skill level.

Haggerty will insure it for about $180 a year. You will be surprised at what you get for that.

hint: car must be "garaged"
lower mileage is better

I have the same experiance with my 34" swampers. At full compression lock to lock, I get zero contact in the front. And not even close in the back.

Hey, no worries. Like I said this is a pretty easy going forum. As you dont know me and I dont know you, its kinda hard for it to be really personal. And sadly its a topic that cant really be answered with any real certainty.

Dont go getting soft on me guys

We can have fun still Jim. The problem with the question is, its a bit of an opinionated question. Some people might say that a pinz isent safe over 45MPH and some might argue its not safe to drive on road period (washington residents). I argue its safe up to and around 70MPH. I also argue that you ...

I personnaly like that you now have zero pertinent information to relay in this thread so you have resorted to HS tactics to feel good about yourself.

Consider this my last post in this thread untill you provide substantial information. It has been fun though.

As I said provide irefutable evidence and this can be a closed conversation. I have to give erik some credit he has thicker skin than most.

I just want to hear facts not speculation. Even speculation based on fact will work for me.

I find well tuned 712 brakes to be exceptional. And any car can swerve and hit a tree no matter what type of vehicle. Show me evidence that a pinz of any type is any less stable than a similar dimension truck of the same vintage. No one here can provide any evidence that shows that any model pinz is...

Your right, even mine says 88KPH on the placard. And your translation is correct. But I think or assume it was ammended at some time. Or maybe it was a Military issued placard rather than a civilian one. The 93KPH was pulled from both an op manual and a repair manual

Actually your top speed stock should be 93KPH or 58MPH. Your low range top speed should be 48Kph. That is straight from the op manual.
