Another 55 in the ‘Wood. Been meaning to get by and meet the owner, Lane ( @BlackCow ) for a couple years now. Today was finally the day.

In other news, since the sty loooves carnage. I’m refurbing my larger shop. Airlines, patched sheetrock. paint, and a bunch of reworked electrical. New, better insulated tool up doors. Decided that the old two panel setup it came with (long...

And a Jibba 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🐖👈

Not sure what I would use to remove paint from plastic Jon. Agree it’s probably better to just hit it with some satin or semi gloss black.

And that interior makes a stogie go on for months!!

Smokers lounge!

@bobm will like this one🙂

Been long time but I seem to recall another pig for sale with speakers mounted in same location but it was a long ways from being green.

The rear reflectors are missing. No mounting holes for them so someone filled the holes before painting it.

Thanks for posting, I have to restore mine which was painted green by PO. May be best in my situation to just scuff it up and repaint black.

I would try Novus first. Best plastic polish I have ever used. https://novuspolish.com/products/2-oz-plastic-polish-kit

Cerakote has a good plastic restorer. I used the wipes from their headlight restoration kit, and it sort of melts and rehardens the plastic of the blower housing. Looks like new

Appears to be a good amount of rust as expected. Green everywhere except in the cab. What other issues are obvious? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1975-toyota-land-cruiser-fj55/?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Model_Update

good luck in the search with all of your wants and your budget, you may be searching a while

met a new pig addict today, came out to farm to peruse my pile of parts with his wife, sent by the Curb Crawler. They picked up a 70 pig from Yosemite National park area, clean. sent them home with a drivers door, gas door, and glove box handle...

enjoying my Sunday!

Us, too. Still driving back from my daughter’s wedding in Louisville. Great weekend. Weddings are crazy expensive, loud, and exhausting - kind of makes me long for the days of simplicity. That aside, it was a great time and my new SIL is a...

We went to a super fun wedding Friday, it was just great. I just learned that a neighbor passed last night. He was recently pronounced as cancer-free after some intensive-sounding therapy. Life keeps moving. Like that line in Lake Shore Drive...

My original floor mats are in decent shape. I don't think I want to cut them up. I remember seeing some carpet kits for the front of a Pig, I am going to go looking to see if I can find a set now, and cut those for the new holes!

Not bad:

There was going to be some overlap, so we made the patch for the original hole and started from there:

I can get you some measurements!

Good info! I’ve got to eventually adapt Clyde tranny cover to accommodate the H55. With it coming from 3/tree it is uncut. Maybe some measurements from most forward edge? That would be super helpful!

I finally got a minute to catch up w/ my buddy Mike and work on the transmission tunnel. The stock tunnel sat back ~3.5" when sitting on the H55F transmission. That gap let hot air flow right past the exhaust and into the cab. One time I was...

Next steps on the 55 are the rear quarters and tail gate area.... going to be alot of little fixes I think. Pulling those rear windows as well will be interesting. Excited to start replacing weather stripping too. Pretty much all the weather...
