Limiting Straps
I need to replace three on one of the 710's. I just replace the front two less than one year ago. They were from SAV.
I remember someone got some limiting straps that are used on the rock crawler rigs. Any info on how well they hold up?
I need a cheaper supply, as I have replaced 6 in the last couple of years and the originals are a little expensive!
Thanks

This was mentioned sometime last year, but I can't remember the exact thread. I remember because it happened right after I had to buy a strap from SAV. What I do remeber from the thread that sometimes it is hard to find one the right length.
I have a site: if it will help: www.partsamerica.com. There are a bunch more, but most are nylon type straps. Good luck with it.

limiting straps
I remember looking for replacement (read, emergency trail repair) straps at 4 WHEEL PARTS. the kind used for the rock buggy type rigs and they were about 75% less than stock pinz strap and about 1/4'' shorter as they are in inches not mm.

I have a rock crawler friend that can get nylon limiting straps in two layers, three layers, or four layers of nylon webbing. He recommended that I order them 1" shorter than the stock straps, as the nylon will stretch. IIRC they were much cheaper, like under $30, but that was a few years ago. Let me know if you are interested and I'll find out where to get them. I haven't used them, haven't broken a factory strap yet.

Thanks Guys,
Mike--- Patrick told me last year about the straps and said he would send me some to test, but I haven't heard from him. You should have stopped by--there are about 50 pelicans camped at the lake. I hear they taste like chicken!!!!!
Jim---I will PM you about the nylon straps---$30 compared to $200 is a steal!!
Thanks for all the replies.

The owner has a Pinz so they would know exactly what you need. They have been good to deal with.

I haven't had to replacement mine but the www.okoffroad.com website looks like these folks would either have them or could make whatever we need for a Pinzgauer and they do look very reasonably priced.
I guess I better go out and look at mine right now :oops:

funny thing about the limiting straps, mine always seem to break when I am doing the easiest offroading I do. I have noticed it is when I am on washboard roads traveling at speeds that the straps seem to fail. I have never broken one or damaged one doing any technical stuff, which I find odd. I am currently having the bolts made so that I can drill all the way through the bottom mounts. For those who are not familiar this was an option that is shown in the manuals. I have never heard one way or another if this stops the breakage or bending of bolts but I guess I am going to find out.

The longer bolts bend rather than break.... It's not a major problem, as every time I adjust the brakes or do maintenance, I just straighten them.I have never heard one way or another if this stops the breakage or bending of bolts but I guess I am going to find out.
As regards the straps themselves, I've broken a lot of factory ones over the years.
Nowdays I weave my own using thicker stainless steel wire (I was dubious at first that the SS would work harden, but no such problem so far) and I haven't broken any since.
