I am considering looking for a small military vehicle along the lines of an Army jeep or Pinzgauer. I split my time between my small condo in Evansville, Indiana and a home on Edisto Island, South Carolina about 40 miles from Charleston.
On Edisto, I have the room and the time to enjoy such a vehicle. I plan to putter around with it, drive it around the beach and the "jungle" areas and back and forth from occasional trips to Charleston, Beaufort and Walterboro. Doubtful I will be real aggressive off road, but if I get a Pinzgauer it will likely travel up and down some logging roads and marshy hunting trails.
I will try not to ask too many stupid questions here without at least searching the forums first. But forgive me if I slip up occasionally in my zeal to get a firsthand answer to my inquires.
Not sure I would be going the full restoration/collectors route unless I stumble on a great example. I will probably do some modifications like electronic ignition, performance tires, add-on lighting, etc. Or not -- only time will tell...
Thanks in advance for the great info and interaction I hope to get (and someday hopefully contribute) to this forum. For now, I will probably do a lot of "lurking" in the shadows until I feel more comfortable around here.
Thanks,
Will
