Re: New Owner of a 710M. Looking forward to learning a lot!
The engine compartment of a Pinz can get pretty stressful for an electric fuel pump. Ironically worse after you turn the motor off and airflow stops. Some pumps can take a beating, most can't. If your pump is located near where the mechanical pump was I strongly suggest you move it out of the engine...

Re: Tipping Point
They can get tippy... Pretty narrow Track at 57" versus a stock JK at 62" for example. Somewhat high center-of-gravity due to relatively high clearance with Portal axles. The K's are more tippy than the M's -- just a bit more weight with more steel above the central tube. Generally, you ju...

Vapor Lock
I had an interesting case of Vapor Lock on my Carb'd 712 that initially surprised me. Turned out to be a classic case of heat soak. Some context, I have a Hardi 24V electric fuel pump, located external to the engine about center line of the tank, well within the siphoning limit of this diaphragm pum...

Re: Battery going dead
I actually mistakenly referred to DF when I meant D+ !! There are two outputs from the alternator, D+ and B+. B+ is the high current output to charge the battery. D+ on the other hand is monitored by the regulator to control the amount of current on the "DF" the field winding to output mor...

Re: Battery going dead
The Alt light could appear to be working normally as long as your Battery is at least 18V AND the DF output from the Alternator is good AND there is a good connection to the regulator. Though if you look at the bulb you may see it very dimly lit. What lights the Alt lamp up is the difference in volt...

Re: New GMRS antennas for 4x4s from Midland
Funny I was getting the opposite impression with how GMRS is being marketed so much lately to the "overland" and group trail crowds. Indeed, the Overland community is moving to GRMS, there's a fee for a license but no test. And there are a growing number of repeaters on mountain tops that...

Re: New GMRS antennas for 4x4s from Midland
GMRS is just over 462 MhZ. A wavelength of about 67 CM. All you really need w.r.t. a ground plane is 1/4 wavelegnth so your down to less than a foot for a decent "ground/radial". So if you ground near a bumper it's going to be good. By way of example, CB is 27MhZ, 11M wavelength, now your ...

Re: Steering box
There are several places Oil cab leak out of the steering gear box, where's it leaking? I had to pull mine last year and put in new seals and re-seal the shim plate. It's a bit of a PITA. So...if leaking underneath by the Pitman arm could be the bottom seal or an O-ring. That's a relatively quick fi...

Re: starter
Paul is spot on! I have the EI gear reduction starter in my 710 and a stock Bosch big boy in the 712 -- big difference between starts. BTW don't toss your old one, get it rebuilt. Getting rare and who knows how long EI will be souring the reduction starter. The only thing I toss these days is used o...

My Arborist just swing my and uses a Ball-Pintle combo hitch. Kinda cool, don't know if there would be any interference with the bottom of the door, but I found several options on etrailer.

Re: Timing Question...
You want to minimize parallex by viewing the pointer to mark right through the center of the pulley.
The most convenient place to do that is on the passenger side and gives ready access to the distributor
to rotate.
Are you running any aftermarket Solid-state-ignition or stock setup?

Re: Daily driver tire wear
With the Pinz suspension, Toe-in effects Camber.
So indirectly you can adjust the Camber via a Toe-in adjustment.
