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

Indeed, the racks will accomodate a number of rifles and shotguns to varying degrees but were specifically designed for the Swiss infantry rifles of the day, particularly the StG57 (PE57) and K31 Schmidt-Rubin. These rifles weren't replaced until the 1990's with the StG90 (SIG550 series). Knowing ho...

My 710M has BFG M/T 285/75R16's on stock rims from the previous owner. I was hoping to lower the overall height of the truck a little bit to better fit into a residential garage--I'm rubbing against the header a little bit pulling into the garage and I'm getting tired of loading a couple hundred pou...

I was thinking of trying to bring back the finish of the exterior paint a bit as it shows the usual heavy oxidation from long periods of being left outside. Since purchase, I've garaged it and was wondering if there's a product that might bring back the paint finish some--or am I wasting my time? Ev...

Does anyone have a rough idea of how many Pinzgauers have been imported to the US and Canada? I searched the forums for a similar thread but came up empty and I've been asked by curious people while out driving around. My general sense is something like 500 or fewer in the States. That's just a comp...

Thank you both for your replies. I don't have the smog paperwork in front of me regarding the failed smog test as I'm out of town but I made sure the tech for the failed smog test converted the vehicle weight from kilos to pounds. When I took the Pinz to the 2nd echelon smog shop for diagnosis and r...

I'm in the process of registering my Pinz in Nevada and took it in for a smog test before going to DMV. It's a stock '75 710M that just had the fluids changed. It passed all categories except idle for CO (allowed 2.5%, tested 8.5%). It's running great and has stock carbs with 125 jets (previously ho...

I finally have my new (to me) 1975 Pinz 710M and am very excited about finally joining the Pinz club. The previous owner took great care of it and included many extras. As I looked through all the accessories the previous owner included, it became clear that this truck was some sort of soft top radi...

Thanks for the welcome. I can't make March 14th but will watch the Events section for future gatherings.

After many years of growing obsession with Pinzgauers and Unimogs I finally made the leap into military vehicles this weekend and bought a 1975 Pinzgauer 710M with only 33,000 original kilometers on it. After some minor preventative maintenance this week the truck should be delivered next weekend. I...

USAA actually transferred me to Progressive and they quoted me $3000/year after deciding it was best classified as a commercial farm implement. I must have just had the wrong agent.

I had no luck with USAA but will check out the info at SDP-Pinzgauer. Hagerty has quoted me a liability policy under $200/year and for my purposes that should work. I have a garage to house it and don't plan on anything wild in terms of use and should be well under 2500 miles a year. Thanks to every...

I've finally succumbed to the Pinz bug and I'm in the process of buying my first Pinzgauer. I'll need to have proof of insurance to register it with DMV and my carrier quoted me some insane rate based on categorizing the Pinz as a farming implement. LOL. Can any owners here recommend a company for i...
