Very cool. Have been following progress. I have a group called Retrofitted EV on Facebook, of like minded people. Have added the Pinzgauer videos to the group playlist. One of my dream EVs would be a Volvo TGB1314, which is a similar vehicle to the Pinzgauer. Maybe you could add a Mercedes-Benz Unimog to your to do list? The ultimate off road expedition vehicle. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing the next instalment.
I¨m an engineer with over 15 years of experience. Your attention to detail is just GREAT. Getting T-boned in a Pinz? dude. Unless you´re planning test it in Afganistan... I just LOVE this project. Those battery packs are huge, the motor is awesome, and all of the needed work being detailed and described, is something really priceless. You really know what you are doing, and enjoy explaining it. I hope in the future someone else will keep converting those rigs. In my country we are vulnerable to heavy floods, and roads are pretty bad, reasons I bought a SUV but it was the worst engine out of Japan EVER: the H27A 6V, a total fiasco of an engine. Thanks for such a wonderful video!
Awesome ! I am just hoping that your efficiency is less than 500whr/ mile. That way you are looking at 150 miles range with 75KWhr battery pack. Pretty good I would say :)
Fill the cargo area with cash in small builds... that should be enough. 😆 But seriously, price out a Cascadia iM-225 motor, Cascadia PM-100 inverter, salvaged Tesla Model 3 battery, and a few thousand dollars worth of other bits, then several hundred hours or so at whatever labour rate you can get ($100/hour?) There's a reason that most EV conversions are do-it-yourself projects using salvaged EV components.
Hope your saving all files for the brackets my 73 is next.. keep em coming!
Enjoying this build. Great work.

I’m stoked about this build. My 1973 Pinzgauer 710m would love to be electrified
My pinz motor needs a rebuild. I'd rather do this!
Very cool build. Keep them coming!! Especially the bloopers. LOL !!

More EV posts more often please.
When are you going to continue this series? We never got to see the finished result
Could you share the part number for the urethane bushings you used?
The battery housing appears to be well-designed, but it's unfortunate to completely lose the footwell in the rear.

That's not efficiency - it's distance-specific energy consumption.
WTF is going on with this build nothing for a year? Come on Pinz. Owners watching with anticipation !
Welding the rear brackets for the genset mount directly to the torque tube doesn't seem ideal. It could be clamped around the torque tube.
Any updates??
what are the costs for such a build?

Why are you going to do a body lift?
