Mighty familiar names on that sign up sheet
Oh heck! Why not.

My very first design had the spare on the tongue side, if it weren't for this VERY short yoke that would have worked out but unfortunately I would have had interference between the spare on the Pinz and the spare on the trailer. I thought about putting the tire under the tent but jumped to the swing...

Mounting under the trailer would certainly add a lot of stability but at the cost of trail clearance

I am now sold on the idea of a wheel adapter, and just get double use on my Pinz spare.

Ya! I did watch my tongue weight. I actually recall your recent post on the 10% rule. I don't have a scale so it was totally by the Armstrong method :wink: By 10% I have been assuming 10% of total load on tongue, which would inc. anything added to the trailer inside as well as bolt-on adders -- assu...

I got a College physics refresher this past week on sympathetic resonance. That is, if you put weight in the wrong place your trailer can do the driving for you. I have a Sankey III which I put a fair amount of work into getting bows added for a roof-rack tent, as well as a swing gate for the spare ...

Found it, on page 10, W940. Any alternative filter should support similar or better flow rate, and BAR value on the by=pass valve. El Cheapo filters may not have a retaining valve that holds Oil in the filter when there is Zero pressure. https://www.mann-hummel.com/fileadmin/user_upload/service/cata...

The only things I'd worry about are Flow resistance, Bars force to open the internal
bypass valve, and the effective filter area. I did find Spec's on the Mann filter w.r.t
the above at one point in time but then lost it

Looks interesting to me too.

Open to Euro 4x4's, I guess that's a no Jeeps allowed statement unless you get permission

I have had an annoying engine oil leak on the push-rod flange of cylinder #3 for nearly one year. Not major but given 30 to 60 miles on the HWY I would see a leak under the truck about diameter of a silver dollar. For long runs 500 miles or more the length of the tube would have a sheen of oil over ...

Ya! After changing the front springs with new 2 dot springs and still have a problem
I'm now focused on the rear springs as a possible player in this. That is if they are weak
and on grade maybe more weight transfers up front.

Those are the front springs on your Pinz right -- which are indeed 9 turns each.
I'm on the trail end of this problem e.g. the rear double springs.

Counted again, just under 10 turns/coil. Dono if that's within
range of spec. or someone decided to take 10% off the number
of turns -- but for questionable purpose.

I'm glad I had the waffle boards and didn't have to dig a 4' pit
Got to hand to these guys -- looks like they have a lot of experience in sand

Thanks Mike! I overlooked that page in the manual :oops: Odd I have a total number of turns at 9.5 NOT 11. Time to get under the rig again and make damn sure I counted that right. Would be odd for someone to cut 1.5 turns off the springs -- but there's a history with Mozo for a lot of mod's. I was a...

After new EI shocks and front springs (2 red dot strength) I still haven't fixed this damn rub problem -- Argggg... I do have wide rims and 285 tires so I'm asking for it to some degree. What I observe is that when I am on near level ground I have about 4 fingers worth of clearance between the Tire ...
