The project 710K Begins.

Build projects, things that guys have come up with to make a Pinz better (or worse?) and aftermarket add-ons.

Also, I modified the original taillights to be US standard and support dual-filament bulbs.
I found these https://a.co/d/0ai9mbex to make excellent back-up lights. No holes need be drilled, and you just replace the factory reflectors. Wire in a reverse switch to the transmission with a resistor for reverse lights, and a bypass switch for full power for trail use.
WOW, tremendous information. Lots of great ideas and data. It will be very useful as I get more into the project.
Very much appreciated.

Thanx

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

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 modification inspiration, including the paint scheme, was gleaned from Ex-Road.ru. Here's some of their work that inspired me (https://photos.app.goo.gl/9kcNbMnhxWSS2eRf1).
