this little piggy goes to market....

jfz80 · 06-26-08, 07:35 PM

*updated price and condition*

1972 FJ-55 for sale in NC

this pig is a wheeler only; no resto here

I bought her about a year and a half ago and have continued to add to the previous tinkerings. Super fun and not forced to part but been putting more time and money into the 80 and got a change of directions in mind.

The good:

SOA
3" BL
Scout PS conversion (super frame reinforcement in place)
IPOR sliders welded into rockers
IPOR front bumper and rear bumper w/ swingout
New 35'' mud dawgs w/ dynabeads
NEW clutch w/ all assoc parts, turned the flywheel as well
Just rebuilt carb (need to readjust float) but all jets were spot on
replacement floorboards
welded rear/open front
76 front axle w/ discs
74? 4spd transmission w/ 3spd case (lower gearing)
135 amp GM ambulance alternator
EVERY SINGLE FLUID replaced including brake flush in last 6 mos.

The really good

power window still works

power seats

available w/ or w/out the redneck snorkle

the bad:

door hinges need to be rebuilt
a bit o' bondo

PS leaks after install
rust at bottom of front fenders and rear 1/4s
NEEDS MOTOR WORK OR REPLACEMENT

She wheels great and gets thumbs up and stares everywhere you go. Drive to the local trail and hour away and back w/ confidence. Furthest drive to wheel pushed 6hrs.... prolly wouldnt do it again though. Ill update w/ better pics when i get back in town.

I know broke vehicles dont sell well and ive never been overly eager to part with, but 2000 gets it if someone wants it before I put a 2F in it and keep on

thanks for looking

(noise is present in vid)
and this is probably the best and most current collection of pics

FWIW I've wheeled with this Pig and it did great.

might be in URE nat'l forest this weekend for viewing.

Rice · 07-12-08, 04:28 PM

I have not seen the pig but the owner came over to look at one I had posted and is an A+ person. It would be very easy doing business with him.

Bump for a nice looking pig!

hudyhue · 10-18-08, 08:20 PM

bumpy bump.....wish you where in cali.

Farr off road · 10-28-08, 09:57 AM

Nice piggie!

I really considered this b/c I love the pigs!!! But I know me and I would just end up selling it after a few months...probly at a loss which would make my wife really

! Besides you are on the other side of the world from me now

!

This is a GREAT deal!!! Somebody needs to buy!!!!

cstamm81 · 10-29-08, 07:31 PM

is this thing still available? Always wanted a piggie....

jfz80 · 10-31-08, 09:26 AM

Thanks Roy!!! still kick myself for not grabbing up your tangerine queen!!!

yup, still available and PA would be takin this lil sal back home

Was originally trying to make room for RICE's 40 which sold, but will always entertain selling to make room for something else fun. (maybe even a house one day) Just had her out last weekend and might go hit the trails this tomorrow.

I would take $3000 unless i replace/rebuild the PS box and/or third member which are next two items on my list, then door hinges.

jfz80 · 12-04-08, 12:57 PM
