Very cool. Just a few questions -- how many does it seat? Looks 2+2+bench seats for 2 on each side, right? How long have you had it, what's the story?

Ok, a few easy question and one that requires a longer answer.

You are right on the seating arrangement as it is in the pictures. I also have all the rear bench seats so that you can seat 8 people in the back. There are mounts for 8 seat belts in the rear, but some of the seat belts have been removed to make space for other things.

I also have the original front seats if you prefer to sit on smaller seats with no support whatshowever.

We bought the truck in either 2003 or 2004, I'd have to check the paperwork to see exactly when it was.

What's the story? Well, it all started in 2003 (or 2004) when we bought it from an individual here in Colorado. We had a choice of several Pinzies at the time and Dennis Williams (one of the premier mechanics in the US on these types of trucks) recommended we get this one. He said that this was one of the better running Pinzies he had seen in a long time. He was right on the money because this thing has never let us down and has always run smoothly and passed emissions without problems.

My wife and I took it all over Colorado, Wyoming and Utah on various trails ranging from forest roads, to old mining trails to some of the more difficult trails in Moab. It really is remarkable what this thing can do and the types of terrain it can tackle.

Shortly after we bought it we took it on a tour of Colorado, including an outing near Ouray and Telluride. We were just following some of the trails on the map and decided to take Poughkeepsie Gulch just for fun. At the biggest obstacle there ("The Wall") we saw a couple jeeps and land cruisers having a hard time going up. As they were taking a break I just locked it all around and drove up it like it wasn't even there and continued on the trail. Later when we got to Telluride we asked a 4x4 shop owner what some of the more difficult trail were so that we could try those, and he mentioned that Poughkeepsie was one of the better ones. At that point we know that we had just purchased one of the best stock 4x4 vehicles.

We continued using it and exploring the area around us with lots of camping and four-wheeling. We did the major trails in Moab several times such as Gold Bar Rim, Poison Spider, and Golden Spike. Although we did break a few axles on those trips but the Pinz is now worse for the wear after those parts were replaced.

The engine runs remarkably clean and strong and the vehicle as a whole has been super reliable. Once the kids started coming along in 2007, we have been using the truck less and less. So now the time has come to change gears and replace the Pinz with a 4x4 van (my Quigley van build is on this site).

Please let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Awesome detail and a cool truck. I've always been interested in them, but alas, my kids and a soft sided troop carrier probably don't mix at the moment. GLWS!
