Have a look at the other you tube vids with his signiture to see this highly modified pinz in action, mods include Diesel conversion with twin Transfer cases, disc brakes, CTIS, forced articulation airbag suspension just to mention a few.

Does anyone know anything about this Pinz or its builders? I don't think this one's been discussed here before.

Impressive - interesting watching him disassemble the axle using the "block of wood and hammer" method - he made it look easy.

I found a bit more info on this 1KZ turbo powered (Prado) Russian built Pinz, pretty impressive build especially how they widened the body by 200mm (8 inches).

On some of his you tube vids you can see that his disc brake conversion appears to have widened his wheelbase by about the same amount....I wouldn't have thought the portals bearings would like that much not to mention the aluminum casings on the front. Perhaps they are stronger than I thought.
Love it or hate it its hard not to be impressed by this Pinz and the work that's gone into it.

They get some awesome footage with their drone copter.
