Magnificent! I am a Police Sergeant and when Hurricane Irma hit us here in Miami, I used my 710K Pinz to patrol after the storm. I drove over trees and took over 3.5 feet of water like nothing. I hooked up blue led strobes and had all of my recovery gear, tools, and rigging in it. Now after watching your video I am inspired to 'kick it up a notch'! Thank you for the morivation!!!

Hi Tim, into it for $20K initial purchase price and around $30-40K in upgrades to get it to this point. I don't have water mounted at this point. I have a few different solutions I carry for myself and subjects. For litter carry I have tie downs up top that I use for carrying in and then either side of the bench seating can be folded flat and a litter slides in for transporting out. Regarding comms, the current system works well for me. Since I'm paying for everything out of pocket I have to spend smart. The system I'm running is a mix of systems I've run over the past 7-8yrs in SAR and works extremely well for the money. The more integrated systems that exist are considerably more expensive and my system is both stable and expandable, both of which are critical. Thanks for all of the feedback, I appreciate it.

Flush, reduces snagging at leading edge(?), easy, may even improve fuel economy 0.00001%. Just an idea. Any interest in commercializing this layout?

Dear God that Pinz is sweet!! The people at Mule worked some real magic for you! Did they do those red front entry steps for you, too? Looks like they're retractable (?). At 6'2, I always wondered if I'd be too tall for one of these, but can't help drooling anyway. Looks like those suspension seats are pretty much flush mounted, so not a lot of interior height lost there - nice!! Just a quick side note - About $300 to $400 in Dynamat will bring the decibel level down 20+. Throw some marine carpeting over it using a contact adhesive and you're set. Just a thought, if you'd like to quiet the ride a bit. Congrats on your win! You certainly deserved it for such an outstanding Pinz!! Can't imagine what all of those mods cost, but It was certainly worth it. There are a couple of radio-body 710Ks near me for about $25K. Sooooo tempting!!
@SARpinz5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it :-) the steps are removable by pulling a pin.. they came from Expedition Imports in Valejo, CA. I've had some 6'+ guys sit in the pinz and they were surprised at how well they fit, however the did comment that the sightline was a little challenging due to the height of the windshield.. for reference I'm 5'10" and fit great with loads of head room. Thanks for the tip on sound deadening. The place I'm going to start is in the rear.. the gearbox is the noisiest part of the drivetrain (when you push in the clutch it quiets down significantly) so I think my biggest gains will be targeting that sound. It's been on my list for a while, but there's always more to do than time to do it :-)

Yes to both. I'm running a system built by Goatwerks in San Diego. There is a link to the EFI system details on their homepage: goatwerks.com/home.htm - just be aware that it's a one man shop (he's been working on Pinzgauers much longer than I've even known about them) so it can take a bit of work to get ahold of Jim to chat.. Tell him you saw his kit on the Search & Rescue Pinzgauer ;-) he can sometimes be found commenting on real4x4forums.com/ discussions..

+SARpinz. Thanks for the link. I have peen pondering a 4x4 comms vehicle to build but with some additional capability. Moved to SV9 land about ten years ago and no one around here in the Ham community has even thought about putting together such a vehicle. The only problem might be the local LE boys around here, seldom would they see a EMCOM vehicle nor understand the radios or rescue gear. I like the ICOM remote units mounted overhead and I'll check out the headset gear interface boxes. Keep up the great work! de, KF8LC-SVØXBH/9

Many of the hard top Pinzgauers were radio trucks and have racks, power, antenna mounts, etc. and would make a great starting point for an EMCOM rig. Some even had onboard generators which you may be able to find in tact.. I'd like to do a 712K or 718K in the future.. Post links here or on my Facebook Page (facebook.com/sarpinz) so I can follow along as you research your options..

I should add that with the Fuel Injection and Electronic Ignition it's definitely something that can be daily driven with very little drama.. I have a few different vehicles and the Pinz is easily my favorite to drive.

I've invested quite a bit into it over time. Each year I improve it a little more to function better. Most of the changes and improvements I've made are to enable use for Search & Rescue, the core mechanical and off road functions have been flawless and have required little effort or cost to maintain.

I've been saving and planning for a long time before staring on the build. I've still got a ways to go before I'm finished..

Holy crap what is your 9-5 job? This has got to be 100k plus cost in a rig

I've actually got quite a bit less than that into it. I've been fortunate and done a lot myself and worked with some great people to get it to this state. I was also lucky to find a vehicle that had a number of key updates done and was in really good condition to start.
