I had this flash of inspiration in the shower this morning as I was thinking about the pig and my fear of the roof being FUBAR. Has anyone done a westphalia stye pop-up camper top on a 55? If I were to do it, I'd think it would be in the "weekender" style (normal van with seats and the bed in...
So, after crawling under the pig for the third time to fix my dilapidated exhaust system, I am looking for ideas, .02 cents, raves, rants, and general discussion on good exhausts. Caveats: I would like it to be quiet (the muffler, that is, not the rants:D), and I'm not looking for monster flow...
Was driving home from work yesterday and saw a swet restored Light Green lifted piggy at PM Alternator on Main in Springfield OR. Anyone here own it? Would love to stop by and drool a bit at it! :grinpimp::beer:
Ok, so I installed a lovely new brass gear for my rear piggy window, got everything back together, still just grinds away and will only roll down unassisted. Any ideas? I noticed when it was all apart that there was some sort of rubber bushing between the motor and gearbox. Could that be the...
I apologise if this is someone's rig on the board, just found it on P-land's Craigslist and thought I'd share :grinpimp:

So, went out today to start my rust inventory on the piggy. Started poking a bit around the seams of the roof to see how bad the bubbles are. It's bad, as in stick a fork in it bad. I started picking at what I thought was paint on the corner right rear passenger side to find out it was a...
So, I went to pull my license plate assemblies to replace the bulbs and noticed how much rust was in them, the nummy crusty kind. I began to scrape it out and ended up just poking holes out the size of dimes. Is there anyone out there who sells the assemblies or does anyone have a rust-free...
Hello all!
Just finished the desmog (minus carb and dizzy work, still looking for a dizzy, think I have a line on the carb) on my rig and have what was left that I removed. I'm located in Eugene, OR and have no clue as to what these are "worth". The smog pump is locked up tight, the airrail...
I'm looking for an Aisin 2bbl carb (and accessories) for my 1973 FJ55 stock desmogged F engine. I have a Holley carb currently. Also, my distributor is getting tired and worn out. Currently my dizzy is vac retard, looking to get advance for dizzy and a carb set up for it, or a reasonably...
So, first time post, first time pig owner--figured I'd kill two birds at once! :)
I didn't really mean to set out to buy a pig a month ago after a 75 foot steel beam tried to take the top off of my 6.2 diesel suburban (and my head along with it). In the doldrums of dealing with the...
