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

Scott at EI built my 710S and I absolutely LOVE it. I always loved the "open-ness" of an M, but didn't like the safety of the side-facing rear seats. The S gives me 5 forward-facing seats and the way Scott configured mine, I also have 4 rear-facing seats (a bench behind the driver and pass...

I have mine insured with State Farm as an antique and it's less than $150/yr for full coverage for the year. I had to have it appraised by a collector ($25) who gave me a paper stating that replacement value is $33K and my agent says that if anything ever happens to the pinz that is what they will p...

Good idea. I will check the date.

I think I will do what Paul suggested--buy one more BFG and a cheap used back-up spare and then see how long the rest last. I will definitely replace them with something else.

Although it COULD be something sticking in the ground, I really doubt it. Like I said, we drive our ATV's all over the same trails a lot more than I use the pinz there and have NEVER had any problems. Not only that, but both tires had tears right in the sidewall, same place, not punctures. I will ta...

So what would you guys do? Should I replace all 4 (5 with the spare) tires with something else or just replace them one by one with a different brand when each sidewall blows out? Thinking about it, it's pretty inconvenient having zero confidence in my tires, but at least I'm out in the neighbor's f...

So do you guys think this is something that should be covered by BFG or not?

I guess metal is a possibility, but I'm still having a hard time explaining why it was fine for over a day and a half and then after 30+miles of pavement it started leaking and leaking fast (i.e. big tear). Also, both me and my neighbors have driven ATVs all over those same trails and never had an i...

I have BFG KM's on my truck and have less than 3,000 miles on the tires, almost all highway miles except for a little bit of fairly mild off-roading in the neighbor's farm fields here in Wisconsin. I go up and down some pretty steep dirt/mud hills around his fields, but hardly any rocks or sticks. A...

I had originally planned on heading out to the milveh show, too, but I doubt I'll make it with the Midwest treffen the weekend before. I'd like to, though, and we'll have to see yet. Hopefully we'll see you (and a bunch of other pinz lovers) in a few weeks down in Iowa!

So, I drove the pinz over to the big car show in Iola, WI this weekend and entered it in. There were over 2500 cars in the show and I think the pinz got about as much attention from the spectators as any of them. I never get tired of watching people's jaws drop when they see the pinz. :shock: Pricel...

I own one of the 710S trucks custom built by Scott and Brian at Expedition Imports. They do an awesome job and I absolutely LOVE my truck. Like you, I loved the M, but wanted the safety and practicality of the K with the doors and forward-facing seats, especially with my kids in the back. The custom...

A super huge thanks to Paul and everyone else who did so much to get this thing passed. My 710S arrived in Wisconsin last August after I thought the whole WI pinzgauer registration issue had already been settled when Paul won his appeal. You can imagine my shock and frustration when I went to regist...

I noticed that when I ordered my new ones because I was wondering the exact same thing! I was actually going to order new mounting brackets for the tail lights but instead I'm just going to take them down to the local body shop and have them pound them back into shape. It will cost a few bucks more ...

Just had the same problem with my 710K-turned-S. I haven't measured how tall it is with my BFG's, but I know it didn't fit by about an inch. I ended up getting 480# salt and put it in the back and just squeaked under. Seeing as how I don't want to keep 12 bags of salt in the back of my truck all the...
