I have been thirsting for a radio truck - full body - example for a long time, but Mrs. kitchen insists I first reduce the vehicle stable by five.
Hey, if you like the Pinzgauer, there's a German VW/Audi "jeep" with a bed that accepts a NATO pallet. Full time 4WD, 5 speed with creep, 1.6l diesel. Would make a great little run-about.
Ah, gotcha, that makes lots of sense, on the Swiss milsurp Pinzgauers vs. French/Belgian.
And yeah, that jeep sound fun, but I really don’t have a home for such a beast. And I’m a pretty good Audi wrench, for a DIY type. Do you know if it uses a Torsen center differential, like most Audis of the last 15 or so years, or something else?
The WV/Audi jeep has a VW engine and that's about all I know. I believe the VW syncro system post dates their introduction so I suspect the trans-axle and differentials are Audi. One poster (in Denver) on a VW forum has one and claims to be at his wits' end trying to match part numbers. I think he's a WV only guy so he might not be looking in the right place. You do have access to the VW/Audi dealer parts inventory system, eh?
ETKA? Yes, I’ve got a version running.
And you’re a LOT more serious than I - but I have done a CV axle recently, have done suspensions and timing belts, and have a small lift in my 2 car suburban garage.
I’ll have to look around for the name of this thing, and see if its in ETKA.
