Pinzgauers are good at high speed Offroad, but Unimogs are better at slow stuff due to the independent suspension on a Pinz, pinzgauer is a good machine though  :)

A 6x6 Pinz or a Volvo C304 is on my list of vehicles I need to own at some stage.

I am really curious to see how my 404 goes off road compared to my old Land Cruiser.  The Cruiser was heavily modified and could do most things I asked of it.

Ground clearance is the thing that beats most vehicles, that and the cross axle difflocks, but i know cruisers can have lockers. axle articulation on most mogs is pretty awesome as well if everythings mounted properly. dad lifted the rear wheel on the crew cab with a fork lift once, it lifted 3 feet until another wheel lifted, and thats a crew cab 406, which arent very well mounted for chassis flex :)

My Cruiser had a full set of lockers and sat on 37" tyres.  Usually a bit of momentum or a blip of throttle would get it up most hills and through most mud holes. 

I am curious to see if increased ground clearance and lower gearing will be better for the sort of thing I do.  Certainly a quick blip of throttle to fire it up the last bit of the climb will no longer be an option with a 404.

That would be great, I'd love to see it. As good as it is to see a Pinz off road, they've got nothing on a Mog!
