    Best route for shipping some leaf springs to Cali from Colorado

    I don’t think fastenal is shipping into CA, right now, either. FedEx Freight may be worth checking into. Don’t think they’d need to be palletized.

    Vintage Air kit for 55?

    I’ve got an early (71-ish) and late setup that appear will be unused….. Probably not as efficient, but truly vintage. Next June?? Dragging this move out, huh? Ha!!

    Possible "long" travel

    I’d recommend either a straight jacket and muzzle or a truck and trailer.

    New Pigs

    Way off topic (sorry, Ron.....I promise pics of both Pig and woman, soon...) but I was laughing so hard, shed tears....

    New Pigs

    The devil opened his case and said 'I'll start this show...'

    New pig owner.....well maybe...

    But does the thought of practicing? Ha! Best I can, or those afflicted with any segment of my DNA can hope for is that I mature before grandkids.

    New pig owner.....well maybe...

    'While you're in there', ask the doctor to inoculate your wife from the most threatening disease to all MANkind, being pregnancy. I've often dreamed of such a shot, one that'd make those little bundles look like the monsters they truly are, scaring women beyond belief.....right into the arms...

    New pig owner.....well maybe...

    Be it the first, last, or any in between, I've two words of advice after pondering the thought of an infant and Pig: TETANUS SHOT! Congrats!

    Few technical questions about my Pig...

    There's a nightmarish mess of pathways to and fro, front to back, that are as logical as a Mexican map. Good luck, take good notes, and lemme know how you fixed it!!

    Few technical questions about my Pig...

    If deleting the charcoal canister, considerations to how it affects the rear canister (for lack of 'technical term') and/or overall fuel hose and vent should be given. It may (operative) have some implications on fuel tank pressure and/or in can fumes.

    Recreating NLA Parts

    1.) Yes. The outer chrome is what'll be most desirable, since the inner can be swapped for used but functional. I've new handle should that be required to repro. 2.) Defer to Ron. 3.) I've new rear lenses and gaskets should that be required to repro. 4.) I've an SOR gauge surround...

    Recreating NLA Parts

    Cluster surround, glove box door, and armrests to match.

    engine choices

    I don't know what topography most face, but locally there's a particularly long hill that's become a barometer, of sorts @ 65mph. The only vehicle I own that doesn't require downshifting on this hill is the '76 Pig that's a 2F anomaly unlike anything I've driven in a Cruiser. In the 40...

    FJ55 - crosses the B-J block later tonight

    Oxymoron defined. :flipoff2: For some reason, reminded me of that tune, 'I was country, when country wasn't cool...' Apart from Shania, Faith, or those cowgirl jeans that give 'tuck and roll' a whole new meaning, when was country ever cool?

    FJ55 - crosses the B-J block later tonight

    There's either a rare abundance of blue '72s with white wheels, or that Pig has transacted several times, as I know it was on the block when I was originally looking many years ago, I want to say, in the $25k range. That said, regardless if that exact pig or its twin sister at that time, I...

    FJ55 - crosses the B-J block later tonight

    As compared to restoring any equivalent, sounds like an all out bargain, to me.

    Opinions Wanted!

    and the smaller that price paid is, the more it'll cost in the long run. Granted, we are looking at pics, but the few, other CA and SA pigs that have been don't appear to be complete POS'. This looks like someone's baby, to me and HAS to be a one of a kind with the headrest monitors...

    Opinions Wanted!

    If you don't buy it, will you facilitate delivery to a port, in the spirit of cruiser karma, so that I can? As always, pics are deceiving, but that appears to be one helluva good pig and the price of pittance. Although some oddities in some of the Central and South American Cruisers, that...

    Bead locks advice

    3.5" is typically stated to be the OE backspacing, so 3.25" should work on an 8" wheel. Would be same from mounting surface on +8" wheels, but they may not work for other reasons. That said.... Why do you need bead locks? Are you wheelin' the pig hard enough to dislodge the bead? Have...
