Have not followed these vehicles so don't know if it is a good deal but thought it might interest someone. No I don't know who owns it just...
As our project nears completion I am trying to fit the canvas top on my son's truck. Does anyone have a clear picture or instructions on how the rope is tied off.
Project update
truck is on road all lights working but the oil pressure gauge does not seem to work. Installed a temporary...
I need to replace the canvas support bow at the rear of the cab. The one with the truck has been repaired a few times and is bent to a point it is time to replace.
Anyone know where I can find one?
One of our South West Pinzgauer Association members had to move his surplus store. We are going to have a BBQ out front of his new location to let the people in the new neighborhood know he is there. We are going to be displaying our trucks. I am hoping that a few of the Steel Soldiers people...
One of our members is having issues with the brakes on his newly aquired 404. He has changed the front brake lines and bled the system but still can barely get the truck to stop. He says it takes a long time and a lot of pressure. Is there anything I need to know before I head over to take a...

I will be sure to put up some pics after the event. The trails selected are listed as difficult...

I think the cab canvas support tube (the one that holds the back of the front canvas) is bent. It has a couple of small kinks at the riser legs where they attach to the body and one in the middle. I was hoping some one could take a couple of measurements. One from the top of the body to the...
I don't know this guy other than he contacted me about selling his Pinzgauer. I am not at all familiar with the prices for the 151 but thought I would post this here in case someone is interested.

I have been on the 4x4offroads site for some time and always get a kick out of some of the articles and views from different places. Here are a few pics of some old iron at play.

Here is a link to a thread that some might have missed. If there are some on this board looking for TGB's this is a possiblity. I have tried in the past to work with Dennis with no luck but maybe some one else would have better luck.

I put some photos of my 712 in the photo gallery. there is a sub folder for a recent mud event that we went to. Lots of fun and really showed the built trucks what some old military stuff could do. We had two 712's and on 404 unimog there.
The main photo album is "Mike's 712"
Much to the wifes dismay another Pinz followed me home last night. The previous owner wanted it to go to a nice home where it could be well taken care of. I am looking forward to long drives in the woods with it and spending lots of time offroading the smaller version of my first Pinz (still...
I found the reason my brake lights were not working on the truck was due to the connector for the brake light sensor was missing. Any one know where I can get one of these?
Almost have the truck back on the road so brake lights would be nice.
went to a mud fest and showed them guys what a military truck could do. I even managed "stuck of the Event" award. The hi lift jack is mounted 52" off the ground to give you an idea how deep the mud was.
When I got the M37 it has the corner metal pieces for the front (over the doorss) and the 3/4 tube that supports the rear of the front canvas. What all do I need to complete a front canvas for the truck. I know the canvas but what about straps, and other supports? Any pictures of the soft top...
I went to CGarbee's website and found the dimensions on the bed canvas supports but did not find the dimensions for the runner which attaches all three bows together. A friend of mine is making the wood pieces for the bed(seats,sides, front and the canvas supports). I gave him some of the old...
