Last night we loaded the pig about 4 and drove to shingletown for pizza, then Sara and my land mate Elliott and I drove up to Lassen national park and we climbed to the peak just in time to see the sun set and we hiked back under the light of the...

Nice looking battery tray. Sorry; wrong thread. 😁

Slow progress today… lots of lube and patience…

Put the internals back into the disc brake calipers in between football games. Maybe not quite as pretty as the ones that @J Mack pulled out of a box but I guess they will have to do. These things were a bi*tch to clean up btw.

Had a guy roll up in this to our yard sale today @bobm

@Pighead- great minds think alike! I really dig my old stainless battery tray too. Only drawback is I have only purchased Optima batteries for years...

Back in the day you could buy 55 stainless trays from the Stainless Battery Tray guy. He used my Pig for the prototype

Raptor makes a 1K liner in an aerosol can which leaves a very light texture, and can be picked up from local parts stores. Of course this post wouldn’t be complete without me showing an example. IIRC used one thick coat on my battery tray...

Then, it got dark and I thought I'd see what the reverse lights looked like with the front rocklights on. You'll recall that I recently wired the reverse lights to a dash switch after not having reverse lights at all for about 20 years. Think I...

Took the Pig for a drive up to Robbs Resort for the annual Cantina for the 'Con. Avoided the freeway and took the back way in thru Georgetown. Pleasant place to spend a 4x4 weekend for a good cause with good people. 55 miles with 3000 foot...

I have wanted to do this for my Pig but have not gotten to it yet.

Photos from Kelly. Tailgate and roof almost done.

I think you should send it to me for verification. 😂

Unfortunately those are NLA now.

SAE flare yes. Again Don't count on me to be coherent..

No, the Toyota OEM fittings have a non-threaded lead. Just to confirm, aren't we looking for 10mm x 1.0 SAE inverted flare fittings? Your SAE comment seems to imply that they aren't SAE. Again, I'm just trying to make sure I'm looking for the...

Okay I'm not nearly as organized as you are and my brake fitting drawer is a pile of random brake fittings. Point to the one that you would like me to measure and I will get you a dimension.

Ok, I got out my brake fitting box. :hillbilly: Here's what I have. Top one 15mm, middle one 17mm and bottom 10mm. I want to take back what I said about the longer ones. That's what I used on all of mine, the 17mm with threads to the end. :meh:

In October 1976. Maybe Octoberfest is late in Japan. 😂

Oh I see 👀. Drunken employee 🍺😘 on O.T. on Saturday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lastly, I sent them my original instrument surround and instruments as well as a spare surround. I asked them to restore the spare surround if they could as my original one is in great shape. So if anyone needs a very good surround reach out...

Wasn't sure I could get a reproduction shift instruction decal so I asked them to leave the original. No idea how that decal would have gotten so crooked and wrinkled. Maybe it was installed on a Friday afternoon?

Found a big box on the doorstep this afternoon. Had no idea they were shipping. Very pleased with the work that Just Dashes did.

Thank you, brother. I got some time to work on this today…
