Long time-no post from me! So I'm trying to get past the post partum depression of selling my beloved 416 mog and I find myself looking at a pinz 712 here in town. It has "so/cal pingauers.com" on the side. Who is this and are thay still around? The name Eric something cam up.
Any input would be cool.

So Cal Pinz was restructured and moved, name changed to Pinzwerks and then closed in April.

Hey Dave a lot of people know of and about So-Cal, but refrain from posting possibly due to the rules of the board.

Rules? I don't care about no stinkin' rules...
But I am a Gentleman

I used to be a gentlemen, but the Lovely Linda didn't like me in their clubs. She would rather I get in the Pinz than a Gentlemen's club.

So here I are.

I don't need waders I use the Cheech and Chong method of identification.

I'm not here.

Isn't great to go a place where everyone knows yours name...
and the way they lock the door , shut the lights off and pretend no one's inside

They may all know my name, but when they lock the door and turn out the lights it's a great place to be alone and gather my thoughts. I get a lot of peace and quiet. Kinda like the Fortress of Solitude.

Wow what a list of equipment, sure wish mine was decked out like that, but from what I can tell it sounds like your describing the Mozo II pinz, I saw Mozo I listed on consignment at SAV for $54,000.00 or so, so if you got $30k to drop on a pinz that would be a great one to go for, as far as your earlier post about So/Cal and some guy named Eric, I think your talking about Eric Purdom, think he is the guy who built the Mozo Pinzies, I am sure others out there can correct me on this, good luck with your negotiations and great wheeling.

I came out of my 416 in good shape and 30k is a realistic # if the truck is worth it, My instinct here is this is a solid truck and was put together right frommthe begining.
