I'd love to see roof racks on a 710 that people have either purchased from a place like Four Wheel Parts or Performance Parts or preferably something that they fabricated themselves. How you've attached them to the vehicle is also of key interest.
Thanks!
Roof Racks - home made or otherwise

Nice Rack!
Mike,
Thanks for the photo. I guess what it lacks in aerodynamics, it make up for in utility. Have you (or anyone else out there) seen anything that more or less runs the length of the roof?

As with most items I have made, they fit my specific needs. I prefer to have the door tops off most of the time but a good way to carry them is difficult. Some have chose to mount them on the back panels which works well for them but I seem to always have passengers and the door tops get in the way. The top on my 710 is a rough copy of the one in the Pinz manual reffered to as an "equipment carrier".
I solved some other issues on my 712 with a half hard top and soft sides. This has given me the ability to put a roof rack and a bracket I made to carry my door tops. The 712 gets lots of looks by itself but when a canoe is on the roof they really go out of their way to stare. I also insulated it so I could camp in the truck and keep the temps under control.
There are a lot of different roof racks on Pinzgauers but most of them are on full exo cages. I once thought I wanted a full cage but have since changed my mind.
My 712 in Cripple Creek at the RMP 2007 Treffen. As you can see space is a rare commodity when I go out. If you want to see lots of trucks and the mods get to one of the Pinz gatherings. The SWPA, RMP and the newbie to the group the So Cal group put on some events that bring the trucks together. All are great events and worth attending.
