i am seeing quite a bit of comments on the maintenance. Which is kinda concerning me.

I have an 05 Jeep Rubicon that is my daily driver, and sees some pretty good offroad at least twice a month.
For the most part, besides checking it over, I change the oil, rotate the tires. LOL

Just how much ...

About the furthest place I would want to take the Pinzgauer camping is about 2 hours drive, in my Jeep.
For the most part the main camping I do is within an hours drive, by Jeep.

Driving it around the parking lot and back road for ...

The highway travel is a big deal to me, I want to use it for alot of different things, but one of the main ones is camping, which requires highway travel.

What is the "safe" speed to hold ...

Went and looked at the Pinzgauer today.

Its in pretty good condition, some surface rust here and there, but I dont think any of it was structural. The steel used is pretty thick.
Few seeps here and there on the drivetrain, but I dont think its anything major.
No dents or anything at I saw, I think ...

I live in West Virginia, USA and this is the only one I have ever seen locally.
I have always loved the military type vehicles, and the Pinzg 710M is one of my favorite ones ...
