Now I know the reason behind the missing panel on passenger side. Jerry can for gas tank? Fantastic idea. It doesn't look out of place sitting in the bed. Great build!!!
I have been following this project from the start, due to my interest in model cars. I love how you have created something that is simultaneously a large-scale model and a practical tool. Thanks for bringing us along with you on this project.
Such a work of art!! Really enjoyed the series and can’t wait to see it put to work, I love watching that thing drive around, I could say so many things on here but it would take forever to type it.. let me just say I am truly impressed with your skills and have learned a lot from you thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Thanks man! I really appreciate it 🙂 It’s been a fun build and I have learned a lot building it. I’m now looking forward to using it around my property. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
Do you know what is worse than all the rain we had in western WA? When Jefferson county makes one install a Septic Nitrogen filter bed the size of an Olympic swimming pool, then watching the filter pump all the rain water it collects to the drain field. Arghhh
It's good to see a project actually finished. Most guys show the major parts of the build and then show it completed six months later. You showed us everything you did and told us why you did it that way. truly appreciate your efforts. And the Pinz looks great!
Mike, way to go. Love the finished product, you continue to amaze me with your skill set, now you mastered sewing, what’s next. You seem to find a need and then master the skills to fill it.
Top job Mike. Been waiting for the final chapter. Great to see the little beast finished. Looking forward to your next challenge. Take care and keep dry.
Happy for you to see this project wrapping up! Awesome project to follow and it turned out great. Please keep us updated with how it ages and future mods!!
Great job Mike ! One of the best build series I've seen on any project. It's also probably the most unique projects I've ever seen. Looking forward to the next project.
Mike, you are a craftsman for sure and be able to figure out most every challenge! I have been inspired and challenge to get out and doing things for myself. And I am 58 yrs old! Thanks for the extra work it takes for taking us all along on your journey!
No I don’t plan on doing any of those things. Have you seen my Suzuki carry? It already has that and is capable of 60MPH. The mini Pinz is just to be used at slow speed on the trails around my house, basically the same as a utility SXS.
Great work, Mike! This has been one of my favorite build series. Thank you for making these videos for us to follow along! I’m really looking forward to more footage of it being used around your place. One good thing about our more cool and wet year is that we have a possibility of a less smokey summer!
Mike another build series I think you or your subscribers might enjoy, My friend is building a stretched TJ gladiator on portal axles, he is based in Sweden and he is an Engineer for Ohlins shock company. Pretty top notch work he does as well! Recon Jeep Mods is the channel
The seat back and the fabric wall really do finish things off nicely. I’ve enjoyed this series of vids, thanks for taking the time to document the build and edit all the vids.
My Gosh Mike, I felt proud watching these 'road test' vids, and I'm just watching. I imagine you're feeling super proud of the finished product! Great job! Subbed to Vass--customs channel
I’m definitely happy to have finally finished this build, It’s been a lot of work and I have learned a lot building this mini Pinz. Definitely looking forward to using to for work around my property! Thanks for checking out my build series man! 🙂👍
Fantastic job there Mike. Love the build. Maybe a removable frame for a canvas cover over the back sometime down the line since you have the industrial sewing machine. But regardless perfect! Caught a glimpse of what looks like a BMW 2002 in the background. Is that going to be featured soon?
When you first showed the clapped-out Polaris 6-wheeler that you started with, and described the project, I was hooked. You've taken this little vehicle a long way since then, and I've loved every episode. Congrats on the Singer! I know a parachute rigger who has some much like it, and it'll handle a lot more than what you did here. Thanks a bunch, Mike!
loved the build series. i was hoping for a windshield and wipers, because i'm about to build a cab for my tractor, and i wanted to see how you handled that.
In the grand scheme of things, this build really didn’t take that long. Especially with work and all the other projects you do. I am really super impressed at how this build turned out! Excellent job!!!
I like the home made iron to add a crease into the canvas before sewing it. It is ingenuity and understanding a problem and/or a need and solving it with what you have.
Congratulations on the completion of another wonderful project. I hope you get many years of use out of it. I'm looking forward to the next series. Take care.
I like the practical approach you used in this build. I also like the fact that you hid the dodgy white stitching in the canvas with paint, also very practical.
As always a great series. In it you introduced your new roller which made it for me. Behind the scenes was excellent video, music and editing skills! Great work on a fun project.
You really killed it on this build! Funny enough the predator dirt bike brought me to your channel, several years back! And the quality work and tips, keeps me coming back.
Thank you for letting us join you in this project 👍. This is a great looking vehicle, I really love it.😍 About the ironing: as long as it does the job, it can't be wrong.👍👍👍
It was an awesome build series to watch! Thanks for all the content. You really impress me with how many different skills you are willing to learn outside of your main welding skill, including, but not limited to, upholstery, painting, and now sewing! Keep up the good work!
This has turned out sooo good! I have absolutely loved watching this project come together. As always, amazing job Mike! Can't wait to see this machine in action, and the builds to come in the future! P.S. This is Danny from previous comments on the videos!
I’ve been to Pinzgau in Austria many times but never seen one of these. Been enjoying your welding videos. Take a look at the Haflinger which is what the Austrian army used to use. Apparently the MOST agile off-road vehicle ever. Better than LandRover, allegedly. Perhaps I’m biased.
I have learned a lot and seen a lot of stuff that I was curious about. Like the inserts you used towards the end of the video. I will check out both of your suggestions and I would like to add, great job on the mini Pinz.
Mike I have enjoyed watching this truck come together. It is awesome. You did a great job. I started watching your channel when you were building the dump truck. Both are awesome. Good work. Can't wait to see what's next.

I’ve really enjoyed this build. Thank you for taking us along. And I enjoyed the manly man iron. LoL
Now I know the reason behind the missing panel on passenger side. Jerry can for gas tank? Fantastic idea. It doesn't look out of place sitting in the bed. Great build!!!
Thanks Ryan!!!
Thanks for bringing us along for these finishing touches! I also have had projects that take years to see through but it’s always worth it in the end!

It blends in with the forest! Nice job Mike! That was a fun build.
Great series,really enjoyed the build probably almost as much as you will enjoy using the such a useful machine for everyday chores,cheers.
Do you know what is worse than all the rain we had in western WA? When Jefferson county makes one install a Septic Nitrogen filter bed the size of an Olympic swimming pool, then watching the filter pump all the rain water it collects to the drain field. Arghhh
It deserves a windshield!!! Awesome project!
Incredible series. Loved every minute
enjoyed this series and the other ones you made.
It's good to see a project actually finished. Most guys show the major parts of the build and then show it completed six months later. You showed us everything you did and told us why you did it that way. truly appreciate your efforts. And the Pinz looks great!
Thank you!!
That surface prep tool works very well for rust removal! Your sewing turned out great. I would say the Mini Pinzgauer project was a huge success!
Another awesome build and series.
Nice! Loved the back window. Sometimes you gotta just keep it simple. The jerrycan really blends well. It has been a great build to watch.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching 👍
Mike, way to go. Love the finished product, you continue to amaze me with your skill set, now you mastered sewing, what’s next. You seem to find a need and then master the skills to fill it.
ha ha thanks Chuck!!

Thanks for watching man👍
I will definitely have some updates in the future 🙂
Mike, Great video as usual. Don't change a thing! Love the music and the mellow style! Seems you are not afraid to tackle anything new! Best to you.
Thanks Chris
Great job Mike ! One of the best build series I've seen on any project. It's also probably the most unique projects I've ever seen. Looking forward to the next project.
Thank you !
Since you live up north I would have added door curtains and a wind shild for those rain days. And for the cold days I would have added a heater.
What an awesome little machine this turned out too! Congratulations!!
Mike one of the best vehicle build series on RUclips!
Thanks Sean!!
Such a nice job man..well done Mike...was gonna comment about the wheels but ya noticed lol..look forward to the next one!
Mike, you are a craftsman for sure and be able to figure out most every challenge! I have been inspired and challenge to get out and doing things for myself. And I am 58 yrs old! Thanks for the extra work it takes for taking us all along on your journey!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel David!!
Awesome Job Mike!
Needs a windshield and canvas window enclosures for the doors in bad wet weather
No I don’t plan on doing any of those things. Have you seen my Suzuki carry? It already has that and is capable of 60MPH.
The mini Pinz is just to be used at slow speed on the trails around my house, basically the same as a utility SXS.
Great series Mike
The mini Pinzgauer came out real nice!
Awesome vid mike!! Glad to see it all done and it looks great! I can only imagine whats next and i look forward to it🍻
Thanks Joe! It definitely feels good to finally have it finished🙂 I have some ideas of projects that I will probably start on in the fall 👍
Great work, Mike! This has been one of my favorite build series. Thank you for making these videos for us to follow along! I’m really looking forward to more footage of it being used around your place.
One good thing about our more cool and wet year is that we have a possibility of a less smokey summer!
Thanks for checking out my new video Dan! Yes hopefully we don’t get smoke this summer. Take care and have a great weekend 👍
Remember Mike, it's not stupid if it works. it may be funny, but it surely isn't stupid. well done!
Thanks man 🙂👍
Great job sir! You have a nice little utility vehicle that will last you for years and get you anywhere you need to go!
Thanks man 🙂👍
Mike what it the name of the fitting you used in the tank for the gas line?
I need that fitting for a plastic tank I'm putting in my old backhoe
Mike another build series I think you or your subscribers might enjoy, My friend is building a stretched TJ gladiator on portal axles, he is based in Sweden and he is an Engineer for Ohlins shock company. Pretty top notch work he does as well! Recon Jeep Mods is the channel
The seat back and the fabric wall really do finish things off nicely. I’ve enjoyed this series of vids, thanks for taking the time to document the build and edit all the vids.
I'd put a windshield and some side windows just to keep the rain out and particularly bugs out of your teeth when you're driving.
Sitting in Norway and enjoying the Pinzgauer build, and then you start talking about a Norwegian builder. Will definitely check it out 😊
Thanks for choir my new video! Yes definitely check out that recommended channel from Norway 🇳🇴 it’s good 👍
My Gosh Mike, I felt proud watching these 'road test' vids, and I'm just watching. I imagine you're feeling super proud of the finished product! Great job! Subbed to Vass--customs channel

finally i got to see the finished product ! great build !
Fantastic job there Mike. Love the build. Maybe a removable frame for a canvas cover over the back sometime down the line since you have the industrial sewing machine. But regardless perfect! Caught a glimpse of what looks like a BMW 2002 in the background. Is that going to be featured soon?
That’s my brothers car
oh, OK. Still looking forward to what your next build is, whatever it is :)
Great build really enjoyed it
Thanks for checking out my mini Pinzgauer series 😊👍
Mike, it turned out great! I’ve really enjoyed watching the project.
Thanks Mark

I am looking forward to more sewing in the future! Also, that satin paint blend you mixed up turned out really nice!
loved the build series. i was hoping for a windshield and wipers, because i'm about to build a cab for my tractor, and i wanted to see how you handled that.
Great job Mike! Your builds are always so cool!
Thanks 😊 I really appreciate it man! 👍
Wow mate best build ever I look amazing can't wait to see what you build next hopefully something fast 😜
It's hard to believe that it was once a Polaris 6x ATV . Great job and definitely a one of a kind.👍👍
What’s next Mike?! Your builds are awesome, love watching the work you do.
In the grand scheme of things, this build really didn’t take that long. Especially with work and all the other projects you do. I am really super impressed at how this build turned out! Excellent job!!!
Great job Mike fantastic build!
Mike: Are you going to install a windshield in the Mini Pinzgauer?
I like the home made iron to add a crease into the canvas before sewing it. It is ingenuity and understanding a problem and/or a need and solving it with what you have.
Do a smaller build next, like a go kart with your boy. Something I could build
Last 2-3 months here no rain. Now everything is turning brown. A few 100 degree days too.
In Liberty OK
My favorite build of yours.
Thanks Mike. That was a fun series. I watched it unfold from the when you posted the first episode, along with all the in between unrelated videos.
This thing turned out so cool, so much work put in. I hope the youtube algorithm goes more in your favor sooner or later.
I want to be Mike Festiva when I grow up! Really enjoyed this series and learned a lot. Thanks Mike.
Thanks Joel 🙂👍 I really appreciate it!
It's been a fun build man👍loved watching it
Congratulations on the completion of another wonderful project. I hope you get many years of use out of it. I'm looking forward to the next series. Take care.
Great job on the pinzgauer. I look forward to your videos on Fridays. They're a good way to wind down the week
I like the practical approach you used in this build. I also like the fact that you hid the dodgy white stitching in the canvas with paint, also very practical.
As always a great series. In it you introduced your new roller which made it for me. Behind the scenes was excellent video, music and editing skills! Great work on a fun project.
Thanks Allan!!
Thank god you were wearing safety glasses while you were sewing 🧵 well done brother
Haha I figured it’s good just in case the needle breaks. Thanks for checking out my new video 🙂👍
Another great project wrapped up. Awesome work!
Now bring it to NorthWestMogFest in August, I may actually have my 404 running and driving by then.
Sounds like a blast! 👍
Slick trick with the tig rod bung threading.
Great job mike. Great vision!!
LOL!!!! Necessity the mother of invention, loved your solution for the iron.
Haha 😂 Thanks man! 🙂
Превосходное творение!
This machine is so cool Well-done Mike top marks 👌 👏 😎
Cool project Mike, would like to see a video of this out on some trails wheeling ! Nice job
You really killed it on this build! Funny enough the predator dirt bike brought me to your channel, several years back! And the quality work and tips, keeps me coming back.
What a great vehicle, been fun to watch!
Thank you for letting us join you in this project 👍. This is a great looking vehicle, I really love it.😍
About the ironing: as long as it does the job, it can't be wrong.👍👍👍
Turned out really nice. Great video Mike.
Thanks Dusty! 🙂
Thank you for another fantastic series Mike!
I like how you did the body welds just burn em in no grinding and they look like rivets. 👌
It was an awesome build series to watch! Thanks for all the content. You really impress me with how many different skills you are willing to learn outside of your main welding skill, including, but not limited to, upholstery, painting, and now sewing! Keep up the good work!
Wow , that 6x6 turned out nice, awsome work, thanks for the other channel link ,,Godbless
Wow! Amazing machine...just a pleasure to watch it in action.
Great craftsmanship 👍🏻
Looks awesome Mike. Love that you gave sewing a go as well.
Thanks for the channel recommendation.
Both this and your articulating mini dump are very good series. Keep up the goodwork
This has turned out sooo good! I have absolutely loved watching this project come together. As always, amazing job Mike! Can't wait to see this machine in action, and the builds to come in the future!
P.S.
This is Danny from previous comments on the videos!
Thanks Danny!!
I truly enjoy all your build series and look forward to each and every video you put out. I find them very inspiring
Appreciate it that 👍
Renaissance Man!!! 👍💚
I’ve been to Pinzgau in Austria many times but never seen one of these.
Been enjoying your welding videos.
Take a look at the Haflinger which is what the Austrian army used to use. Apparently the MOST agile off-road vehicle ever.
Better than LandRover, allegedly.
Perhaps I’m biased.
Turned out awesome! My favorite so far. Looking forward to the next chapter. 👍🏼
Great job
Can't wait for next build, duder! Nice score on the sewing machine, too. 😁✌️
I have learned a lot and seen a lot of stuff that I was curious about. Like the inserts you used towards the end of the video. I will check out both of your suggestions and I would like to add, great job on the mini Pinz.
Thanks for watching Weston!!
Great work, Great series, Great machine.
I've seen this one from plans to completion, what a nice trip! Good work, Mike!
Cool tank, but maybe make the cab end of the bed vertical and use the space between it and the seat for fuel? To have a symetric bed?
This has been an awesome build series! Thanks Mike for sharing it with us!
Mike I have enjoyed watching this truck come together. It is awesome. You did a great job. I started watching your channel when you were building the dump truck. Both are awesome. Good work. Can't wait to see what's next.
Super awesome build Mike! Going to be hard to top this one. 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love the beadrolling work. Was an excelent series thank you.
Great work. Congratulations on the successful completion of the project.
Thanks 😊
I really appreciate it!
It’s great to hear from you my friend 👍 I hope all is well for you and your family 🙂
