    Firepig weirdness

    So per request, weird Firepig stuff. 1st pic is the odd PB booster and the PTO Governor. Second is the PB booster line connection to the intake manifold. Third pic is part of the oil cooler. It has an in and out line that runs to the oil pan, which has an oil cooler built in to it. Weird stuff!

    Baffled...

    I'm trying to find a build thread from not long ago. Believe it was an LS swap but more interesting was some kind of slider shackles on the springs and a carpet kit of some sort. I just can't find it... anybody remember?

    Spring loaded nightmare! Pig bat-signal deployed!

    Am prototyping a rear glass gear that @fj55-100 3D printed. Fits like a glove, had to remove the odd spacer that lived under the stock broken gear. It spins the worm gear seemingly perfectly. Oddly now that I have it together the arms travel very smoothly. But only thru about 25% travel then...

    Tailgate keyed switch and other weirdness

    For the tailgate glass keyed switch, I have a couple of the assemblies but no keys. Is there a way to get these keyed that anybody is aware of? Also, for the weather stripping I know from the other thread that the main perimeter seal is being investigated to be made by that company in...

    Reno is Pig central!!!

    Ok, on Reno FB Marketplace (500 mile filter) there are currently 10 pigs for sale! In Reno I know of at least 4 registered Pigs, including a ridiculous Pig Firetruck that some weirdo owns :0. Also that same weirdo has a sty with three others! There is at least one under resto in town. So...

    PS box

    In planning stage for the PS conversion on Oink55. I currently have PS from the previous owner but it’s a Saginaw box. Problem is the chunk out of the front crossmember that I don’t like. What year FJ60 has the most adaptable box? I’ve also heard 77-79 Bronco boxes can work. Ideas?

    Toyota wiring diagrams

    Found this bitchin’ wiring diagram book on eBay. It’s for a 76, but I imagine has some value for many years. If there is a circuit you’re in need of let me know and I’ll get a picture of it.

    Repop parts 😀

    Bought the Slocruisers license plate light repops. If you were worried about quality, don’t be. Pix below sho theirs on right and a NOS one I had. Couple very minor differences that you’d never notice unless they were side by side. One difference is that the rubber base is angled on the OEM...

    Window regulators

    I’d assume replacement regulators are not available. Anybody know of somebody who repairs them or sells parts? I searched around the forums, didn’t see anything. Which seems odd as we all have 4 ancient ones inhabiting our doors. 😬.

    Rust free? 😬

    If this is really rust free that’s a pretty good price I think. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/533560295318532/?mibextid=6ojiHh

    Pigs for sale NoCal

    Look in Reno or Sacramento Marketplace. Says he has three. But… he wants $20K for the two shown, which seems steep.

    Rust!!!

    Weirdest rust ever! I have no idea how a hood rusts this way, but it’s easy to check the radiator. As long as your tetanus shots are current. 😳

    Opinions needed

    As I’m replacing the front fenders I have the option of going back to stock running lights. Currently has FJ70 ones. Good things are they are available, look kinda custom and may be less easily damaged. Are the stockers even available? This is a restomod not a restoration. 😬

    Window seals

    Wasn't there a post here that someone had listed alternate window seals from other vehicles that would work on the Pig? I can't find it.

    She's going under the knife

    Rust repair has commenced. Going to be a pretty substantial effort, I'll try to keep the thread going with pics. Been looking forward to this...hope I don't regret taking it apart!!

    Swap question, I'm confused...

    Found a roller of a 1994 FZJ80. As I am old I don't necessarily enjoy full leaf springs any more. Curious if anybody has ever heard of putting a Piggy on this frame / suspension to gain that bitchin' ride. I have some fab skills and access to master fabricators. So I have that going for me...

    Opinions needed. Any body here have an opinion? (Dumbest question I've ever asked)

    OK, I've decided to go full stupid on this for an attempt at the near $100K BAT crowd. I shared this before, but I got the Pig below for $1,500 and it is largely complete and rust free. (It was at somebody's honey hole out in the middle of the desert). I'm gonna go crate LS of some sort...

    Firepig!

    Plates came in. This thing is so much fun, looking forward to having it all figured out better for car shows and fund raising next year. I wish dog would look more excited . :cool:
