Re: Shuttle needed-windshields from LA to PDX Dave Dunn

Feel free to drop by my place after you pick it up, I can answer most of your questions and show you how to access the mapping and engine tuning. Bring a memory stick and you can have picture and tech files on the build. Thanks Jim! Do you know if the front windshield on that rig I bought was swapp...

Re: Shuttle needed-windshields from LA to PDX Dave Dunn

I've been discussing this over PM with Newfisher Since "GadgetPhreak" is buying a Pinzgauer in the San Diego area - and will be shipping it up soon - perhaps there would be a way to get the glass to his truck and have is ride up with it to Seattle. Then we can arrange getting it back down ...

Re: Fat Fabrications hard sides and roof

This is definitely along the lines of what I will want you to build for me Andre, per our Facebook Messenger conversations. I would like Aluminum and will want to do a roof rack at the same time. I need to think through how I want to do gear management and may want to have you integrate externally a...

Re: Use DropBox for image file host ;-)

The bad thing about this, as has been shown over the years, is that people forgot about and let their accounts close over time when they move on to other things and the links go dead. Yeah, that's always a challenge on forums. Sucks. Even with the dead picture links I have learned a ton on this sit...

Use DropBox for image file host ;-)

Rather than trying to upload my files to a photo share location and then link to them from here I was looking for an easier solution. I decided to try the DropBox public folder. I did a quick test in the image test section on the board and it works great. It works as follows: 1. If you don't have a ...

Re: New to the board - Pinz 710K shopping

What steps did you take to deal with the noise levels? For anything over an hour, I use Bose noise canceling headphones. Though using them as I do is not truly legal (at least in CA, and probably most states) they actually allow me to hear more (things like horns, sirens, etc.) than I could without...

Re: GMRS/FRS

Just to add in my $0.02 here, those units are capable of more than just the GMRS/FRS frequencies, they will operate on a spectrum of UHF bands. Purchasers would be well advised to get their HAM license. It opens up a world of communication options and will ensure you don't inadvertently run into pro...

Re: New to the board - Pinz 710K shopping

Only thing it needs is a TD Mastercylinder to go with the disk brake conversion...... Cheers, Scott Thanks Scott. I suspect I'll be in touch on a number of things ;-) I'll chat with you about the TD Mastercylinder after I've had a chance to get it up here and get some time behind the wheel to see w...

Re: New to the board - Pinz 710K shopping

I've put over 60,000 MILES (not km) on my 712W over the last 15 years with nary a problem, less general maintenance and upgrades (2.7L, EFI, etc.). Much of that was at 55-60mph with the stock tranny (almost redline) until the TD tranny; it has gone across the country (Georgia to Vermont to SoCal to...

Re: Shuttle needed-windshields from LA to PDX Dave Dunn

Hmmm, maybe I throw them in the back of the 710M and do that road trip after all. How many windshields are we talking and what time frame?

Re: New to the board - Pinz 710K shopping

Currently planning to ship it, but would love to drive it. No better way to get to know a car than a road trip [WINKING FACE]. It's a bit risky to put that many miles on a "not really meant for the street" kind of vehicle, but who knows...

That covers off a lot of your wish list and then some!
Yeah, it looks like I'll be at a good starting place. I'll fly down there and see it shortly and do the final deal in person. That way I can go over it and make sure it checks out.

New to the board - Pinz 710K shopping

I'll plan a trip there with my Pinz when I get it and check your top out. I appreciate all your info via PM, thank you!

Looking forward to meeting you and seeing the top. Let me know a price with and without the front piece once you have that figured out.
