Pinzgauer 6x6

[DETOUR]

Howdy All
Peter, cousin of mine, who lives in Switzerland sent me pics of his rig
• he says that off-road land access is really hard to find with the tight restrictions they have
• he pretty well has to travel to another country for wheeling ( 4 to 6 hrs one way )

I've worked on the 4x4 versions of these when I was in Germany. A German 4WD club I knew some of the members had them.
They make some really cool rigs. Super expensive here in the USA.

I used to sell tires to these guys in Arkansas. They export hot rod American car parts, mostly MOPAR. They import Swiss Military Surplus. Cool people, great shop full of cool toys. They used to have a man eater German Shepard it took me two years to be able to pet it. I am not normally scared of dogs, but this was one seriously mean bitch.

Pinzies are pretty cool in their own way!
Does this one have the air cooled 4 banger or the water cooled VW inline?

They are a cool looking rig and one of those rigs that if you could have in your garage it's just different but also work well off-road.
Your cousin is lucky even if the opportunity to use it isn't as easy as it is here.

Thanks for sharing.

Air cooled “hummingbird” in Peters rig

• almost as loud as a Jimmy Diesel 2-stroke, although Jimmy’s don’t make noise, they’re making “MUSIC”

Peter admits that they’re reeeally tippy for sidehilling !
• He’s seen modified Pinzies with wider wheel stance, •another massive downfall is that the drum brakes on all wheels collect mud easily and the maintenance manual recommends to remove the wheels for cleaning after mud bogging !!!

Thanks , I think
it looks like you get 88.74 horsepower from 90 PS.
this kind of screams air cooled 4 banger!
I mean really 88.74 H.P. from 2.5 l, ( 151 CID )
This makes a Jeep 2.5 at 130 H.P. seem like the a L-88 Corvette in comparison !!!

Good thing a Pinzie has LOW gears !
