Hey guys and gals!
I am the proud owner of...
1. 710M Pinzgauer, Ex Swiss Army radio truck completely standard other then BFG Muddies... it truly needs no modifications!
It has Portal axles giving 19" of diff clearance, low gearing transfer, diff locks front and rear, back bone tube chassis, independent all round, oober clearance, and all lockers etc can be engaged on the fly.
2. SWB Haflinger, This is a smaller older version of the Pinzgauer essentially and yet again completely stock... again really doesn't need modifications!
It has portal axles, crawler gears, back bone tube chassis, independent all round, incredibly low center of gravity, Diff locks (again can be engaged on the fly), Skid tubing all the way along the belly, tight 6m turning circle, and with the motor in the back and two average lads in the front the weight balance is pretty close to perfect! And one last little thing it only weight 550kg and can carry 500kg on its back! its one tough little mountain goat
Cheers!

Its pretty much a 'make it up as you go' kind of 4x4, and I will be the first to admit that it isn't everyone cup of tea - but it gets the job done.

Hi and greetings
Our Malaysia ex Police Riot squad (FRU or Federal Response Unit) Volvo started its restoration stage 2 process. Stage 3 will follow stage 2 (restoration of the rear).
This is a 1979 Volvo C304 with long wheelbase (4x4 not 6x6). Stock everything apart from the REAR cabin which the previous owner removed the open top police canvas canopy and lowered it and installed a HARDTOP.
I am still trying to find out the history of the vehicle while it spent 25 years in the police force.
It's now in a secret location in PERAK where aliens are working on it.
1. Rust removal in the front of the cabin
2. Headlight upgrade and
3. LED lights installation
4. Raise floor for short legged people
5. the rest you will have to wait and see - but restoration work pics will be shown - I will see it in 2-3 months time. NOt sure even of the STage 2 colour result as not sure how they are going to paint the cabin before we restore the rear.
Sunday Nite at the workshop and the rust is revealed
3 months I cannot wait.
I am now at the point of starting to finish the interior of the cabin. I am planning to use Soundproofing inside the cabin then a final cover of green canvas glued to 6mm marine ply with quality quick release clips to enable the panels to be removed. do you guys also use anything else for keeping the heat or the cold (haha cold in a tropical country) out or will a soundproofing layer suffice?

Not much of an offroader but this is my new ride. It's the hotrod 4.6IS version. It'll keep me happy for a little while.
