Jon, we need to get you and Keith to bring the 181s up to this place!!

A friend of mine gave us permission to do some hunting on this really sweet piece of North Georgia Mountain land.. No one has been in these woods for over 25 years and the old logging roads haven't been travelled since then either.. That equates to some serious challenges when getting in to the places where we'll be hunting. Today we took a pair of Pinzgauer 710M trucks into the woods and conquered some rough terrain.. It would be hard for any other vehicle to make it into this territory, the Pinzgauer loves it!













And here is the video.. It doesn't do the place justice, we damn near rolled the Pinz at least a dozen times!

I've been telling Kieth that we need to do a Thing weekend in the mountains. I'm game to see what the Thing will do. Maybe we can get Kieth, Mark, Bob, Me and Mike all to bring our Things.

Of course after the video, I want a Pinz. Cool

Dean says he'll go too Wink That would put a pair of 481s in the mix!

Nothing touches a Pinzgauer!

We had a guy some time back in my 4X4 club with a Penz.. They are fun but can be scary in some places.

Got CJ7 that would have fun out there .. Very Happy Very Happy

I can't tell the places it has been... Rolling Eyes

The Pinz isn't top heavy like most people think.. I've had mine places where my old CJ2A would have been on its side..

You have to get used to driving one, letting the axles articulate is the key and learning when to throw the levers and lock up the diffs.

The CG is a lot lower than one might think... Been putting off the CJ for some time. Need to get the motor pulled and fix the crank knock I started to develop.

Want be anytime soon. Will be heading out to SEMA Saturday. Maybe I'll get inspired.
