Yes the spring had slid all the way up and it was leaning. Thats how I found the damage. The repair was not hard once the bolts broke loose. SAV had the parts in stock and the whole job took less than 2 hours including clean up. I took the truck out last night and it rode like new. I did do both of ...

Rear Spring Upper Cup Failure
My rear most spring has pushed through the upper cup and is now about 1.5 inches more extended than the other. It is still tightly held in and has not been making any noise. I have no idea how long it has been like that and it drives and rides well. Has anyone had this failure and can tell me what i...

Six Speed beat me to posting about this. The Florida Steel Soldiers Rally is always a great event. This year they are planning a second one in the spring and I would love to see the Pinzgauers out number the US stuff! This event is in a great part of the state for going trail riding (showing most of...

It was a great weekend! I was not able to bring my Pinz as I was on kitchen duty most of the weekend but I did get to ride through the mud hole in Alan's Pinz. The EFI made a huge difference in the way a Pinz performs. Herb took me for a ride in the Green Pickle and all I can say WOW! I have never b...

Here in Florida we regularly take our Pinz's swimming. They will go up to the headlights for short periods of time when stock. I have seen water pour in the windows with a snorkel. Rick over in St. Pete made up snorkels for quite a few trucks, mine included. He turned the original air canister 180 d...

Pinz vs. Volvo
Welcome to the madness! I believe that you will be much happier with a Pinzgauer that a Volvo. There are few parts left for the Volvo. The Pinzgauer parts are available and they are very easy to work on. I have a M and love the ability to roll up the sides. I live in Florida (it was almost 90 yester...

Down here in Florida all we have to play in is mud and water. No hills or rocks to climb. Since we spend so much time in the water, I know exactly what you are going through. When you dunk the wheels under the drums fill up with water and the fine silt that was in suspension and it can not get back ...
