Dakota Dave Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Looks like a Pinzgauer 710M. They are a high mobility military vehical used by Switzerland and Austria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDead Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 They have a club here in CO. I see 4-8 of them taking off into the hill here in Teller County every summer. Those can go places even Jeeps can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast I Drive Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 That thing is pretty sweet, I still like the 5 ton Rockwells more though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew and not u Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Those Pinzgauer's are crazy, saw one at UNF last year doing some silly stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86HatchShelby Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 that my friend is a Volvo C303 pretty dang awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Those can go places even Jeeps can't. stock jeeps maybe... after the real jeeper has gone through the Just Empty Every Pocket routine... those wouldn't have a chance, top heavy and limited flex. great ground clearance, great for military invasions and great gearing though.

matts87glsedan Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 my local army surplus owner imports these and sells them for 8 to 12000 cdn dollars, when i worked in the oil patch i almost bought one.... they are so sweet. He also imports unimogs, someone here in town has one thats bobbed, flat deck, etc. I almost crapped myself when i saw that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. They're awesome all-terrain vehicles, but they couldn't touch a jeep when it comes to rock crawling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 how are the wheels driven, there don't appear to be axles to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joostvdw Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 gary, by the looks of it, they have geared hubs and so the axles are slightly higher than you would expect them to be. They are there, just thicker and higher then on a subaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are there, just thicker and higher then on a subaru. geared hubs, yes. subaru cv's, no. they are called portal axles, fairly sweet invention as far as axles go, generally speaking those types of vehicles are solid axles, but not all. http://www.portal-tek.com makes some extremely beefed up applications of those style axles for "real-world" offroad use.

Uberoo Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Portal axles could be neat on a subaru...just top speed would be halved,but tire size could be doubled or 1.5 if you want some gearing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtcaravan Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ya there cool but i've taken my jeep places they couldn't even fit though. JEEP ON!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
