I'm pretty sure that the manual says not to jump your pinzgauer? but, the newer model pinzgauer, in the updated video catch a little air! my question is there anything you can do to modify the suspension so you can jump a little?

If the check straps were damaged or missing it could do damage in the diff (the axle casings could "intersect" with each other at the bottom of the diff housing) but otherwise I can't see any problem.....well no more than any other vehicle :wink:

Personally, we've had good luck jumping Ford vans around here. The front end is really tough (unless you auger it in...) and the weight distribution is pretty good.

Anyway, install some suspension travel limit chains on all four corners and truss the rear axle, and they'll last for years. 8)
