Same idea, smaller independently suspended package.

The Pinzgauers are cool little rigs. Portal axles and all that. They have 4 corner independent suspension and are a lot smaller. I think the Mog is a more capable rig in general, since the Pinz's seem to be pretty tippy and don't articulate as much as the Mogs do, due to the independent vs. solid axles. At the end of the day, the Mogs are bigger then most rigs, but I saw one on the Crystal Mountain trail last time, and it was smaller then I thought. Still bigger then anything else.

That one posted is a 406 4 door I believe. Its one of the ideal ones, as it has the more powerful diesel engine, stouter axles, air lockers (instead of cable driven), and more creature comforts, as well as a slightly shorter wheel base then the "troop transport" 404 that you usually see. That ones also almost too pretty to wheel in Colorado, as it would scratch the paint up for sure. Damn cool rigs though, and you really can't beat them for a "out of the box" crawler, as long as it will fit where you want to go.
