Re: Pinzgauer On Curvy Roads

Anything will help but number one, like mentioned above, is putting on good, radial AT tires. Two is understanding that you have a very short wheelbase.

Having good shocks play a big role too.

Re: Fan alternatives?

I would think that buying a new stock fan, which would not be brittle and likely last for the rest of the life of the Pinz, would far outweigh any benefit possibly gained by experimenting with a non-standard part that was installed without it being engineered for that exact application.

Gearwrenches at Sears

Sears has a deal on a set of Gearwrenches that I think is worthwhile. They are normally $100 marked down to $49. I have used these for years and they have held up great, and make some jobs 10 times faster or easier.

Re: Volvo c304 + VW T3 double cab

Re: Electrical Upgrades For A Factory Restored 710M?

You are right, a legal 716 is not an easy thing to obtain in the US to say the least.

Also finding one that ag...

If only I still sold them... not that I dealt with more than a few anyway. They used to be much harder to find!
