Re: EZ power steering

Problem isn't me. The problem is 4 daughters and a girlfriend, each about half my size. It has a pot where you can adjust the level of assistance. When I drive it I am going to have to reverse polarity and turn it up full blast just to make sure I don't damage things due to my excessive upper body s...

EZ power steering

I am new to Pingauzers and wil be taking delivery of mine next week. I am thinking about installing an electric power steering unit called EZ Power Steering from the Netherlands. They say they have been installed on the Pingzauer. Does anybody have experience with them?

Thanks for sharing the site. Good reading tonight. I saw the second Pinzgauer today but could not drive it as the carbs were off. I was able to feel the steering weight parked and it seemed similar to the other truck. The truck had the original wheels but the tires were bigger than standard. The clu...

Re: Newby looking at Pinzgauer

I am happy with the power. Just saying small engines usually do not have much clutch pressure because they do not have to handle much torque. It loked like I could make the lever longer. Will be interesting to see how the clutch feels on the one I am seeing this afternoon..

Re: Newby looking at Pinzgauer

I have a camp in the Blueridge mountains and will probably use it there, mostly for ice cream runs on hardtop, but also to use on dirt roads when they get washed out and m...
