I have the 2000 in my truck. Dennis was a big help in getting it in over the phone and thru e-mail. Here is what it looks like. I made the mounting brackets myself. I now have a tube that directs the heat into the back thru the wall that can be removed if needed for heat in the front. I did not add ...

nice install, good thinking. I tried to make room to get between the seats for loading. Yes they are closer to outside of the truck then.

Here is a view from the back. They are bolted thru the side rail bars and thru to the bottom of the truck with 3/8" bolts and large OD washers so they do not pull thru. Tubing is 1" SQ with gussets on the corners for support. C channel is used for mounting the seats down from the MFG hole ...

Here is my son in his booster seat at age 6 years old. I installed the seats in the back with four point harness. Front facing is the only way to go!

Here is Wisconsin when I "could" drive my truck on the road it passed emissions. It was a basic idle check only. there was no way to put it on the dino tester due to the axle issue. Then they looked to see if I had a gas cap. Done, and it passed twice since I have had it.

I have the XZL on my truck. Size is 8.25 R 16C made in the united kingdom. I bought the truck with them on already.

I have put a can of electrical contact cleaner in my tool box. There are so many connectors that I find that are corroded or filled with dirt. that is the first thing I do now when I have any trouble with the wiring. After cleaning and re-connecting I put some dielectric grease on it.

I added two seats in the back that are front facing and 4 point harness seat belts for my kids. My youngest is about 6 years old in this picture and is sitting in a booster seat due to his height. This is the safest way that I have them in the truck. Now they are old both can sit in the front. Scoot...

When I first got my truck I took it to Ziebart not long after I got it. They scrapped off the loose stuff did the under coating and rust proofed the body too. There have only been a few places where it peeled off because the old stuff can loose. You need to show them where "not" to spray. ...

I tried NAPA and they did not have anything at the store that I tried. But you may have better luck. seems that most store stock is different when it comes to 24V bulbs.

I used a cheater bar/pipe on my allen wrench. Also try a socket allen wrench too. Seems to help most of mine were stuck and needed help coming loose. The 10mm allen wrench came in my tool kit. It is hard to find otherwise.

At $0.75 the shipping is more than the part. I am waiting to get more of an order together before I order mine.

To help our cause here in WI we are looking for a registered Importer with NHTSA that knows the Pinz. I have been reviewing thier list and contacted mosted of them and have not found one that does. Has anyone worked with one or know of a registered importer that could help?

Thanks, I had in under coated not long ago. Since we have not been able to drive our trucks here in Wis, it has stayed clean.

Well at least I can rotate the tires, even if I can not drive it yet.

Scooter

I want to put my 710m on jack stands so I can rotate the tires. Are the lifting points under the body mounts the best place to do this? I looked at supporting it under the axle, but there is not enough room for the bottle jack and a jack stand. Here are the body mounts below. I plan on doing one sid...
