I'd love to join if I can make it work. What are dates this year? Relatively new to the sty. I saw June, is there a specific week on the calendar?

One thought, marks on those bolts are a decent indicator, but may not be foolproof. On my 100 series I had to take the timing cover off to change the fan clutch bracket (not sure if it's the same on the GX).

Look what came in the mail today. Thanks for putting this together!

Boarchata and Megadoomer met for the first time tonight. Would you call this a mini Pig Party?

Also, Bob, if you look closely there's a partial "mandal" shot in there for you.

Just opened it up. Looks like the damaged package had brackets, harnesses, and mounts. So comfortable! I'm a big guy (6'3", 220), which is part of why I chose this seat. Feels good. Tried pumping up the lumbar support while sitting in it and this seat basically hugs/supports every inch...

In other news, the Corbeau Baja Ultra seats came in yesterday. Well one of them did... sounds like the other may have been damaged in transport. Remember that part of the vision around "creature comforts?" It's a suspension seat that should help save our backs a bit on the trails. I also...

J Mack, I read your thread on the Angry Pig. Very cool! "...doesn’t make it bad just not something I would consider if I was building a vehicle to drive fast off road" I'm actually not trying to build a racer. The vision and principles I opened the build thread with are still where my head is...

Megadoomer, I'm intrigued. Maybe we can talk through that idea more Monday night in person? 🍻

J Mack, would you be interested in helping me create a specific build plan for the above? I already have the OME suspension on a pallet here ready to install, but I'm not married to it. I could see if Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters would work with me on returning it or sending to another buyer.

Something like that would be amazing, but is far out of my expertise to build, and likely out of my budget to have built (the OME suspension was ~$2200). I wish you were down here near San Diego, I'd see if you'd help plan and build with me. Also, you raced the Baja?!?!? With a vintage rig...

Haha. I think I'm going to keep my 15 inch old school wheels for now and run 33s and see how I like them.

Thanks for weighing in, guys. The reason I had looked at 34s and the offset was because I understand that to be the largest tire I can run with the 2.5" lift. I polled a bunch of guys in the FJ55 Facebook group who have the same lift and this was my takeaway. I'd love to run 35s if they'd...

Got me good! Glad to hear you're keeping your pen of pigs.
