Love it. What's it look like today?? Surprising it had such rust 30 years ago....

"Still have that 55."

That's awesome. In an age of disposability or advancement to the "latest & greatest", you holding on to that pig is an inspiration to me as I slog through my 4+ year build. The idea of selling it pops into my head from time to time, until I'm reminded by posts like yours of the enduring timeless simplicity of old iron.

Toyoteros,
Glad you enjoy the post. As requested her she is today. As Stumpo noted. That rust came from driving on the beach in San Juanico (Scorpion Bay) Baja Calif. Mex. That has been most destructive to the body, well maybe second to the old Gate Keeper start to the Rubicon. That sucker cost me two sets of doors.

I think Pigs, unlike other land cruisers, age in dog years...

At the risk of overdoing a good thing I can't resist showing this one of the same pig on the way to a Jimmy Buffet show parking lot madness as a "Land Shark". 1997 or "98. Can't remember as those were lofty times.

That is brilliant! From Iron Pig to Land Shark...
