My Pinzgauer

[NotAMog]

I finally figured out how to post pictures to this site!

Below is a picture of my Pinzgauer 710M at the entrance to Goler Wash on the way to the Keystone Mine. This picture was taken during the 2007 Panamint Valley Days.

Thats awesome! I can't wait to see it in action.

You can also post pictures on the pictures page. You can make a gallery, people can comment and rate you pictures as well!

Nice ride, I'd like to see this on the trail. Looks like you have plenty of ground clearance.

Lots of ground clearance (~13") but not much articulation with the fully independent suspension. It will go over just about anything but you spend a lot of time on 3 and sometimes 2 wheels. Without any kind of rock sliders I stay out of the big boulders since the fuel tank, battery box, and tool box tend to take most of the damage. I have some custom built guards which will offer some protection but I don't have them installed yet.

Check out this video for an example of the potential capability (not that I'd want to try it) -

I suspect the truck took a pretty good hit on the battery or tool box ($$$ to replace) from the sound of scraping metal as it crests the lip along with the rocking to the left.

From the folks with much more experience driving Pinzgauers than myself I hear that except for extreme rock crawling (see above) and mudding (not enough HP to clear the tires) they compare favorably with modified Jeeps.
