The 710 is back in Jax... what a love hate relationship with that thing...

IMHO... One of the best off road vehicles ever produced... There is nothing you can buy that will do what a Pinz will do with zero modification and trying to modify another vehicle to bring it up the Pinz's capability is a feat of impossibility to a large degree...

Off road... Traction, handling, maneuverability, weight, size, payload, mileage, locking axles, and the ability to go airborne without damage... Hats off to the engineers whom worked so hard at designing and producing such a brilliantly capable MV. I would put that truck up against any other wheeled and even many tracked MV's and would almost guarantee it would come out far ahead of the crowd...

On the other hand... what a PITFA of a vehicle to maintain / adapt to on road use... Every time I picked up a wrench on that thing I renamed it so many times I had to learn other lanuages due to running out of curse words... Piss poor handling, constant steering drift, crappy gas mileage for a 85 HP engine, HOT and LOUD as all get out, the leaking and the dripping and the seeping!!! Parts are expensive and very slow / hard to get. You can make mods to them but at the same time you stand to ruin the vehicles value by doing so... It really becomes a rock and a hard place when owning one.

You ether love them... hate them... or cant afford them to find out...

*thinkin*... Maybe I should go buy a 712... *sigh*

Chuckles if your reading now would be a good time to comment...
