Where would that jack even work on a 710? Nowhere from the sides that I can think of, the rear bumper maybe. I would think the front bumper sits up too high. Serious question as I think it looks cool but wondering how practical it is.

EDIT.. Are the wheel wells strong enough to lift there?

It's all your fault. :-)
The pictures of completely overhauling/rebuilding your truck are a great inspiration. Terrific job (including the paint job) :-)

Thanks for the compliment. I had a lot of help from some of the most informed and experienced people on this forum, and much of the body ...

That paint scheme looks vaguely familiar ... I like it!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you’ve planted Vault Boy exactly where your future GPS speedo antenna puck is going to live. Really hoping he’s on a mag mount… otherwise he’ll have to get evicted.

Solid-looking starting platform overall — it reads as honest rather than “improved to death,” which is a good thing.

On the electrical side, I’m sure you’re already thinking in this direction, but I’ll share it anyway: I’ve found it best to keep accessories 24V wherever possible , and only feed a ...

Hey, MrZero, have you leaned hard sideways on a tire at that 17/19PSI? Especially on the factory rims without the ridge for the bead, I worry about breaking the bead (insta-flat) with strong side-loading. Or maybe a Pinz is just too scary to get much sidewall force on the tires?


Yes — I ...

On my 710K I’m running near GVM (~6,500 lbs) about 99% of the time, and the rear is carrying more of that load than the front. Tire setup is 255/85R16 BFG KM3s on the original Pinzgauer factory rims (tubeless).

For pressures, what’s worked well for me:

On-road: 50 psi front / 54 psi rear
Off ...

Sounds like quite the adventure after all. Glad that you and the truck made it home mostly intact.

I just saw this post and was going to lend some tips from my inaugural drive from Littleton, CO to Las Vegas, NV after purchasing my 710K a little over 15 years ago, but then noticed that your already underway. I hope the adventure goes without incident. Best of luck!

Apologies for the delayed reply...


1. How did you cover the output for the speedo cable?

Used the end of a spare cable threaded in place to the front dif and capped.


2. What did you do about the odometer reading?
Did you have to fill out a statement at the DMV, were you able to have the ...

Do you have a price in mind? Some pics would definitely help with offers. Thanks!

As a bicycle nerd as well as a Pinzgauer nerd I keep a lot of bicycle inner tube material around for exactly this type of thing. I know that I have a section of standard thickness road bicycle (so pretty thin) inner tube rubber fitted between the crescent piece that you described and the steering ...

Have you considered an asking price yet?

Hello

I don’t think so. You can see it connects to the diverter box I described. Item #61. Also the items in that pic are for the standard heater/vent system. Like in an M


Allow me to rephrase my response... 30-05-60 is what is connected to the hose that's connected to the exhaust port of the ...

That's the Eberspacher heater exhaust.
