That's a tough one! Plusses and minuses which differ on both, If that makes sense! At least the San Jose rig has some engine compartment pictures.. makes you wonder why the Portland rig does not! I like the one Ol Yeller posted the best.
Really Train?
The Iron Pig has been, IMO, the red headed step child of the Landcruiser world. Most people think they are ugly, The 40 probably out sold it 10 to 1 or better and still out paces the pig in value despite being in much greater numbers.
I guess maybe the Pig is starting to gain...
I am shooting for proper Drag link/tie rod geometry. The stock setup is practiclly on top of each other with the caveat of moving forward rather than rear which is what will happen with the 60 setup. My project has stalled because of this. Finally decided on a shock hoop so I can move the...
I'm digging up an old one here, sorry. How did this work out for you with the box positioned with the mounting bolts split between the engine mount? Seems like the most natural spot. When cycling and suspension articulating did you find any interference brtween the tie rod and drag link?
This...
Boy things are really tight where I want to mount that box. The engine mount on the back side is a pain. A hoop shock mount would be cool looking but it's tight in there without hacking a bunch of inner fender or possible tire interference. I did see a thread where Pighead has a cool shock...
Hemi, I would like to see some progress on this. I have my rear axle stripped of brackets. I wanted to see if you plan on cutting this down to 60 length?
Ok, I got my Borgeson stuff today, the old parts are removed, and its time to mock this up and do some drilling/welding. Question on positioning. I am guessing that I want to keep the Pitman arm out in front of the tie rod through the entire rotation. I seen some pictures that show the gear...
I saw a cooler in front of your radiator in your build thread. Your pump is on the passenger side and plumbed around the radiator. I like that design. What cooler would that be?
I was looking into bending my own hard lines and using NAPA to build some soft lines. I would like to check out a...
I called Borgeson today and got some information. Hunter at Borgeson told me to count the splines and measure Dia. on the Steer column output as well as the gear input. I came up with 36 on each and .687 shaft diameter. Sound familiar? He wanted a measurement between these points too. I...
