New Oklahoma Pinzgauer owner
Hello
Everyone I am now the proud owner of a 1972 pinzgauer I just bought it in a very small town called wann, Oklahoma been learning about this beast and have decided to ship it up to linden engineering in Colorado it will ship out in about a week I asked them to check all the mechanics on it. I know it needs a complete brake job and wanting it converted to electronic ignition as well. Looking forward to getting it back and enjoying it.

Just an FYI, you may not need a brake job, the brakes have no automatic adjusters. The must be adjusted manually with some regularity.

Re: New Oklahoma Pinzgauer owner
Congratulations!!! One thing I'll mention, be very cautious of putting too much downward strain on the front attachment point. Pulling straight is just fine but down is a no-go. Otherwise it looks very similar to mine when I first picked her up
