Custom wound springs

Has anyone had custom softer springs made for a 710m front and rear? I don't drive around with 9 buddies very often and I'd like to have a better ride and better tire wear. Is there a problem with doing this? Thanks

My SAV spraycan is also semi-gloss, but it seems like the protected areas on the body (under the tarp or license plate) are also semi-gloss

I'm not sure about the one on the front, but if it matches the one on the side of the steering wheel, then that is an electrical socket like a cigarette lighter but a different size. EI and SAV sell the correct size plug-in so you can actually use it and plug stuff into it. 24v of course. There are ...

Do mean one of the battery equalizers? I installed a 20 amp battery equalizer from Solar Converters and haven't noticed a significant drain after two weeks without driving. I don't have a stereo though

I haven't tried this yet, but I found a surplus Swiss backpack that is made out of the same material as the top and was going to use it to make some patches. It seems like contact cement of some sort would work to glue them together.

I think stealth black would look great- keep it flat black, not gloss. 45 degrees for the high today- hmmm, maybe the added solar heat would be a good thing!

Geneva- I returned from Switzerland with 2 of the Gut Automobile snorkel kits and will be installing them soon and posting pictures. The intake piece that goes into the rollbar is from MagnaSteyr and is similar to the one that ProfPinz has.

McCall Idaho area

The snow's finally melting and we're able to get out and play. 3 Pinz's on Sunday- well we really didn't drive the K with the tracks that time. Hopefully we'll have some more later this summer. http://picasaweb.google.com/wayndar/Pinz/photo#5203601513835651074 http://picasaweb.google.com/wayndar/Pin...

Gut Automobile is supposed to be the best Pinz shop in Switzerland. Christophe seems like a good guy and was very helpful. I didn't stop by last time in Switzerland, but was able to order 2 original Steyr snorkel kits from them. Hopefully the kits will be installed soon and I'll post some pictures. ...

I've run across their website before and it looks like a good group. Maybe when they're in Eastern Washington or Oregon I'll try to join in for something. Thanks for posting it.
