And that looks like an ad from Patrick, otherwise known here as cwripinz. If one was in the market for a Pinz, Patrick is the man.Quote:

Probably not a good daily driver.
Clearly his shop.Quote:

Parts availability is limited and if you can get parts they are expensive
Slow on the highway - I don't think a Pinz will top 55
These are niche vehicles and they're OK if you're affiliated with other people who own them.
Just have to join the right Militia group.Quote:

The Pinz is downright zippy compared to the Unimog, but yeah, not a cross-country vehicle if you're in a hurry. Mine hits 63 on fairly flat highway, but is working pretty hard. It's more comfortable at 50-55. Ridiculous off-road capability. You can lock front or rear axles at any speed, even change Hi-Low range at any speed. Portal hubs give great clearance, and a low CG keep it pretty stable. I haven't had to do much to it, but the few things I've done, I've found the parts pretty cheap and easy to find. There are a couple go-to websites - Swiss Army Vehicles and Expedition Imports. (And for the wood rails, our own Tim K can help!). Aside from an engine rebuild or the like, they're easy to work on. I've seen a couple that were made into very functional camping vehicles. I don't really know or hang out with anybody else that has one, so I get tips and tricks from the website real4x4forums.com. Lots of good info there, kinda like a coar-15 for the Pinzgauer. I often use mine as my daily driver, but I doubt most civilized folks would find it appropriate for anything but a toy.Quote:
