I loved my Syncros...both of mine had the rear locker. I had an '87 in that same color. I pulled a cow out of a mud hole out in the desert in Southern New Mexico. Interestingly enough now I have a 1997 Land Cruiser with front and rear lockers. Really miss all that space in the Syncro.
That's funny you mention the space. We just got back from a trip to Yellowstone in our Land Cruiser and the whole time I kept thinking how much I missed the space of the Syncro. We were doing 75-80 mph on the way home though and got about 17.5 mpg. Can't do that in our Syncro. They are both very cool vehicles and a couple of my all time favorites. Thanks for watching. JC.
That was a good video, different flavor of sorts & yet a fairly real world comparison. Much better than say the stuper duper 4wd type shit! Syncro gave it's best tho - to a stall.
Before watching the outcome, I would have said the tyres and the pull angle would make a difference here. The Land Cruiser seemed to be pulling almost horizontally, which can't help since it needs to come out almost vertically.
With a strap over a spare tire pulling up before pulling forward every vehicle could have pulled the culvert out. I pulled a 3/4 long bed Chevrolet 4x4 out of hub depth mud with a Suzuki Samurai using the strap over the spare tire method when 2 other Chevrolet full size 4x4 pickup trucks couldn't get it out. Shocked everyone to see a little lightweight Suzuki Samurai pull it out.

@@Volkswear the only thing slower was taking my 23 window bus on a 6000 mile journey. 😜
That's a nice group of rigs right there!
That was fun, I’d like to try something like that. I think it’s cool how a lower horsepower’s vehicle can pull more. Amazing what gearing can do
That Pinz is a stout little mule! Want one!

Syncro did try pretty hard. It just doesn't have the gears. It's still probably my favorite or at least top 10. ;)

This is way the swiss army is using pintzgaiers!!!
Go Pinzgauer!
I was really rooting for the Soggy Syncro :(
should of tried pulling at "right angle".
Looks like you straightened out the cocked bumper on the VW.
Фольксваген супер 👍😄👍
Can I buy the Flux bus from you?
Seit schlauer und kauft Pinzgauer... (Be smarter and buy Pinzgauer)
