snow
I kept the my Pinz indoors this last storm, as it was pretty disappointing. If my Corvette can get around in it fine, then it isn't too exciting... Today's storm looks fun though! I'm excited to see how my Trxus tires work out on the snow. The Maloya's did okay last year, and I was able to assist a ...

Thanks
Thanks to everyone for the kind words -the trip was certainly a lot of fun! If any of you are ever in Colorado -black bear is one to try -it's beautiful and can get your blood flowing. Twin P, Love your neck of the woods. If your company has the red Pinzgauers, I actually saw one as we headed into t...

Believe it or not, I bought the tires themselves from the tire store, but they weren't able to balance them properly with their machine (the hub isn't centric, and their adapter fingers don't go out to the pattern of the Pinz). Overall I was happy with the service from them (good price and friendly ...

cool
The fogger in combination with the lighting really adds to the spooky ambiance. I can see why the kids in age, and the kids at heart liked it!
Have a great Halloween.
Have a great Halloween.

Beads purchase
I bought my beads at a non-chain local shop here in Wichita KS called Shamrock tire. As far as the profile of the tire -it is extremely close to stock height. I didn't do any measurements, but it appears that I have slightly more roof to ceiling clearance in the garage that I park in. I haven't noti...

bead balanced tires
I've got bead balancing in my Trxus MT 265/75's and it's worked pretty well. I've heard that it can get to not work well if much moisture gets in, as the medium can clump together, but no problems on mine. I think that my tires could use just a bit more than the recommended 4.5oz per tire as I do ha...

leaky rear axle
I've got the same issue where I've got a leak from the rear axle at the boot. Until now, I've just been topping off the fluid, but think that it is about time to fix it right. I've looked all over the board and net for answerers to a few questions, and so far haven't found the answer. 1) When the se...

Hi Steve, Before my Colorado trip, I purchased a set of 265/75 trxus tires and have been quite happy with them. I know there are about as many opinions about what tire to get as there are available types -but I made my decision after looking all over this board, and reading what a lot of other offro...

Yep -the rear top was (and is) in pretty rough shape. I wanted a roof over my head when spending the night in the truck on the way. Fortunately I was able to find some canvas material in the right color to patch up the parts that needed it. Surprisingly enough it held up pretty well. Also I thought ...

Trip from KS to Colorado
While there seems to be a pretty good handful of Pinzgauer pic's out on the web, I never can seem to see enough :D I've had the pleasure of owning my '74 710 for just over a year, and recently loaded up and made a trip from Wichita KS to visit a friend in Colorado to hit the trails. If all works cor...
