This is an EXCELLENT Publication with many specifications and photos... so much so that it does not matter that it is in German!

Have some nice German Beer! Talk Unimogs with the undisputed Experts... the guys that have been designing & building them! See MANY Unimogs IN ACTION! Well worth the trip!

When The Roof Caved-In At Cold War! This is a Photo of what it looked like inside our facility when the roof came down after a Blizzard in late March of 2003. They said that it was a Once in One Hundred Year Storm... If you ask me, that's still too often!!! What a MESS! Yes, we have a Roof Again... but that didn't happen until November! Over 500 buildings in Douglas County were damaged or destroyed by the storm and we had to wait for our number to come up on a very long list. Oh well... at leat the Walls Stayed Up & No One Was Hurt!

PinzgauerLinden Engineering's Take on the Driveline Vibration Issue: This link explains the Pinzgauer Driveline Vibration Issue which is common to All Pinzgauers. Basically, over the last 35+ years, there have been some technical improvements in the Pinzgauer. By doing a Driveline Tear Down & Rebuild, you are incorporating all of those driveline upgrades All At Once... which will reduce vibration in the driveline, resulting in quieter running, more power, better fuel economy and lengthened driveline/vehicle life. The short version is: If you own a US Legal Pinzgauer and you have not performed the Driveline Upgrade, odds are that it is not a matter of "if" you will need to do the upgrade, but more a matter of "when" to do it. It is better to do it before you have a catastrophic failure (read as Hideously Expensive as compared to a Necessary Expense) when you can plan the down time as opposed to having the vehicle leave you stranded! OK, here is the scary part that no one wants to talk about... a 4x4 is going to cost you around $3K to $3.5K for the Rear (Diff., T-case, Prop, Main & Stub Shafts, EXII Pinion Upgrade, Seals & Bearings) and if the Front needs to be gone through that is about $600 to $1K additional. Remember, the Pinzgauer Driveline IS The Backbone of the Vehicle. It is Critical to good vehicle operations! Also, this is a non-recurring expense. It is a True UPGRADE of a combat proven platform and Well Worth Doing!! Read this blurb at Linden Engineering's Site and he will go into more detail.
