THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

My cousin just sent me this link. 599 Pinzgauers are up for sale by the Austrian military. Unfortunately they are trying to sell them in bulk and not piece them out one by one

Had the 712 siting for 2 months and when i went to start it i had no power. No dash lights wiper motor wont come on no head lights. Checked the batteries and they were completely dead.

Jason,

I will be there all 3 days. Leaving on the 15 so I wont be in a rush. I did the Wickenburg-Crown King-Prescott-Jerome-Flagstaff route on the way home last year and it was a blast!

Ya for sure..By early i mean as soon as the snow is gone. Have been wanting to do it for as long as i have had the pinz!

I have not done it yet but people I know have and tolds me its no problem for the 712. I am heading up there early next year. You should join me! im taking the trailer as well.

I to am interested in seeing how these fit. I have the Corbeau A4 seats installed in the 712 and they have been fantastic! Noticed these seats are just a bit wider then the A4's and those just squeezed in.

Thanks for all the pictures Jason! That pretty much covered the show! Was great meeting you! Hope to see you at the expo next year.
