    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    Thank you, I think so too :) . I've played with all my other Pinzes and this one is just to rare and worth too much to risk damage to prove nothing The word was that there was a 12M18 here, and it went back a long time ago.

    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    Exactly as I said, trying to find things wrong with my new Pinzgauer :mrgreen: It isn't a SDP, but an ATL http://real4x4forums.com/PinzgauerBBS/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8745 This is my 4th, and have had them all, 710, 712, 716 and now the 718 A sweet ride that needs to be broken in.:D

    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    With all the trouble you're going to, it would be easier to completely remove all of the assembly that the tire carrier, air cleaner and encases the front lift outriggers, strip that are to the frame and make new mounting brackets for the needed assemblies. That is all overbuilt and the air...

    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    From this pic, it appears Steyr used the same ram and only a manual hydraulic pump. Do a google search on Steyr 12M18 and then images. there is more now than 2 years ago :) But I do have an advantage of knowing what to look at:lol...

    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    You aren't going to tilt the cab by hand. Its over 1500 lbs, and the pivots aren't where they offer any counterbalance. Its amazing what little trivia you can find while passing time with a little light reading of a TM. :lol: Hopefully, I can find FDT a good home. It is large

    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    The air motor is for the hydraulic pump for the tilt/tire/pulldown. There is a backup manual jack also. A standard type air brake system is from what all the other air systems draw from. I'm far from an expert but learn most from looking at the truck and reading manuals, and following the logic...

    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    The intent for all the pictures was for a general reference for others also. Hopefully, some of the odd pics answers questions. The cab sheetmetal was about the only thing that was the same, and don't remember the details of the Steyr tilt system. The pivoting should be the same, but the Steyr...

    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    You can go though all the folders and sub folders here of my documentation of my FDT build. I pretty much reference everything whether I needed it or not. Maybe they'll help you understand better. It's a MTV, but other than the numbers of tires, everything else is close to the same. The...

    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    You are not going to be able to hang a 340lb tire off the front of the truck. You need to study a truck in person and not make comparisons between the LMTVs and the Steyrs in pictures. Once you've studied a truck, you'll determine it's not practical. Some things done on Steyrs and other Euro...

    Moving the spare tire carrier and breather assembly.

    Simply put, a real pita. Where are you going to put the tire ? 340lbs, 46” dia x 16”. The control panel is also for the cab tilt, suspension pulldown (not needed) and for the cab rear air shocks. And besides the air filter, the hydraulic air motor jack pump and reservoir is in the middle. To...
