THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

I have heard that this is possible...... 4x4 Pinz in 2wd, chock the wheels, jack up on one side at the back, in 2nd gear with ignition on, rotate jacked wheel to 'hand crank' engine. Once started wheel will spin dangerously and of course if it slips off the jack it will run away, but it might get yo...

EE mobile in UK features a blue 6x6 TD Pinzgauer in it's new TV advert.

I had forgotten about this short video a friend of mine put together about my Pinzgauer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MKgSczI3jc

Dreaming of a white Christmas

One problem we found in Iceland was that prolonged water crossings soaked the hub brakes making them ineffective, constant left foor braking eventually dried them out but often not before either a steep descent or the next water crossing! This track was basically the shallow edge of the lake (Icelan...

That was a ford on a tarmac road

Most of the time on gravel roads with mud and puddles I would have just kept the Pinz in high-range as that 1st gear is really low. When really off-roading in demanding conditions low-range is superb as it still allows reasonable speed in 4th and 5th yet gives you the power torque and low speed cont...

OK will reduce price on this. PM if interested, make me an offer!

This highlights the point I made; it becomes tempting to try and re-create the off-road prowess of the Pinzgauer when, of course, if that was ...

I have been so heartened by the feedback and comments, both whilst owning my Pinzgauer and even now upon it's sale. I'm sure many other Pinzgauer owners have at some point moved on to other vehicles for various reasons. I know the lucky ones simply add to their collection, but I have neither the mon...

My Pinzgauer has been sold to a geo-science Project on the Isle of Harris here in Scotland. It will be put back to use carrying radios, computer and survey equipment to remote locations.

Forgot to mention a full set of snow chains will be included in the sale

So some more photos from Scandinavia. In Norway we had a small breakdown with the original HT leads failing. I had one fail last year so diagnosed it pretty quick. Lovely spot to breakdown though right next to the fjord. Only problem was DHL taking 6 days to get the parts to us (so much for next day...

So I have a military vehicle show this weekend, possibly my last with the truck, but got it all clean and ready:
