Hi Jon, the ol pig is looking awesome. This was my sons first car, as you already know, and boy does he want it back...so much so that i think he pm'ed you today. Its funny, or not funny at all really, when I've sold a cruiser and totally, i mean totally regret selling it. I still want my truck...
Hey Mark. You should remember my rig. I was on the double locker run with Mudrak @ Rubithon '08, then built it into the 45 and had it at Surf n Turf in '09.
Yes on the od tune for the tranny. I leave the setting on mild, and the tranny is stellar. The only issue i had is with the TCM, and I just replaced a leaky tranny seal that had a small intermittent leak. All good. The 6 speed tranny that comes with the 6.7 is far better than the one that came...
Not posted yet. Will be in the 40k range. KBB books just the truck at 30-31k, Carli suspension, H&S tuning stuff, AT flip pac with all the goodies including 17 gal. water, heat exchanger, Propex heater, AT custom storage, Fiamma awnings (2), National Luna 50 split w/slide, 37" Toyos, Aluminess...
I think i will be without a cruiser for a while, although i do own 2 fj55's. One is a parts rig, and the other is probably the most rust free 55 on the planet, but is in pieces. Time will tell if i decide to build it or not.
Right now i'm having a blast wheeling the mini buggy (Polaris RZR 800 s)
Ok.
This is back up for sale.
Fresh front axle rebuild with new disc rotors. Getting some paint issues fixed, will be ready for new owner in 2 weeks. I am also putting the stock widened steelies with hubcaps back on, spare included.
The rig is at Red Line Landcruisers in Colorado Springs...
The pig is now at Red Line Landcruisers in Colorado Springs, thats where the nordic princess took the pictures. It is really amazing how rust free this little piglet is, not to mention the ridiculous amount of new OEM parts.
I may have to reconsider building this one for myself. :D
By the way...
So sounds like you just bought the Pig for the parts, eh?
The 72 is the parts rig. The 78 with the new parts needs to be left intact, it even has complete factory ac.
Again, no plans to build it. I am hoping Justin gets to build it for one of his clients, not me.
Matt is a friend of Justins in Vegas.
I (we) do not have plans on parting it out, but you never know.
