Wonder how much power that setup puts out. All I can think is that adding significant power like that is asking for other parts to break.

Imagine that coupled with my Sequential injection

Aside from the supercharger which sounds interesting, what do people here think of the front styling? What is it that possesses people to put a Mercedes Benz emblem on their vehicles?

Looks like he went for a drive in the ugly forest and hit one big ugly tree.

Not sure about the grille and the MB emblem is really not required. Reminds me of the cars covered with racing stickers, it really goes no faster with racing stickers.
I do like the dual front windows but they need to open like the Volvo to really be useful. Otherwise they limit the already limited visibility.

Like Jim said...Hmmm, I wonder.

That page has been up for a long time. I figured it was old news here.

I really like the exhaust setup.
I wish there were more information on it.

I saw this a while back too..and think its an excercise in alteration..cant think of any real useful additions to this vehicle, although the windshild frame looks cool it is basically an overlay, and actually obstructs the field of vision..as for the supercharger..I cant imagine any real advantage for a vehicle that bashes around in the woods ...and as many have noted the nose although custom..serves no purpose

I watched some of the pix on the site, and it seemed like many, if not most, of the off-road shots featured the "before" Pinz, without the wide tires and snout, etc. I wonder how much off-roading it sees in it's present configuration. Maybe it's mostly a city driver now?

As to the snout, well, each to their own, I guess. Personally, I've never found the stock front of a Pinzgauer to be unattractive.

I do like the looks of the exhaust exiting the rear. It would be nice to see details on the rest of it. I'm curious where they crossed over to the passenger side with the one exhaust pipe.

Someone really clobbered the front of that Pinny with an "ugly stick"!

I did an exhaust just like that on my 712. SB, why don't you post some pics of the exhaust on your truck for everyone else to check out.

First i had heard of it. Noticed it had been up since 2008 but has never been noted on this forum. Someone had told me he was maintaining pretty fast speeds on hill climbs. Prompting the google search.

'If only Pinz[g]s could fly!" No offense to Jason Walston's hard work..

Morris: you are right.. emblem on the snout reminds me of lipstick!
