Re: Amphibious alternative to the Pinz?

Re: Post Pinzgauer Project

the fancy system that uses the brakes to simulate the effects of difflocks......damned if it doesn,t actually work? I noticed that computerized braking/diff lock system when traveling on a rutted Nevada trail too! After owning a Pinz and helping my son with his off-road Tacoma build, I'd be shunned...
