Re: decisions decisions.....

I chose to make an insulated hard top for the rear. I made it in two pieces so that it could be removed as needed. The sides are made from two 710 tops which are attached using the "c" channel used for mounting most RV canopies to the vehicles. I can slide the sides off if they are not nee...

Re: Rear steps, which ones work best?

I had tim fab up a single step when I pull the trailer. Just remove the two hinge pins and put the single in place of one of the hinge pins. So far his step has stayed up on my trucks. The biggest difference between cwr step and tims is the way the spring attaches to the mounting bracket. The oval l...

Re: Rear steps, which ones work best?

I run Tim's rear bumper with the tire carrier and jerry can holder so I had Tim modify the rear step to be longer and add two additional springs. This keeps the step up high and tight. I believe CWR has added a second set of springs to theirs in the "newer" models. the originals only had t...

Re: Transfer Case - Jumps Out of Gear

check to make sure the cable is adjusted so that the transfer case is going fully into gear. Also a good time to lube the connection points on each end of the cable along with the eye sockets where the cable is bolted to the body at each end.

Re: Engine conversion

since I did not buy my pinzies to drive the highways the extra power does not appeal to me. The down side is that the drive train simply can not take much more power off road. I have seen a lot of broken axles, bent/twisted central drive shafts, not to mention the tranny problems by people with lead...

should activate the small accessory plug on the same panel as the switch. Can be used for strobe/emergency light or any other 24v hook up.

I will see if I can get a picture of Tim's front guard. Covers all the "soft" areas at your feet and does not impact approach angles. I need to get them installed on my trucks before too much denting happens.

that truck belongs/belonged to one of the guys in the RMP group. I believe it was made by Pinzparts (no longer around).

magnetic mounts on the Go Lights work exceptionally well, also available in suction mount and permanent mount. Several years and never a loose light.

what do you mean by does not kick it in? Seems the most common trouble is a worn worm gear on the flywheel, which may require several attempts to get the starter to engage.

I am currently trying to find a source for a billet that will accept a removable steering wheel (for added pinz security). I have a line on a guy who says he can make them if I send him a wheel and top portion of the shaft, both of which I have, just need to send them off. The steering wheel that is...

Been down this road before but here is how I handled the pinz steering wheel issue. I found the diameter of the out ring of the steering wheel to be difficult to grip with my older hands so I came up with this solution.
