    A pig with a welded rear...?

    I know I could search for an answer to this question on other forums, but I think this question should be here for good info purposes, sooooo... Have any of you ran a pig with a welded rear? When I ran my samurai, I welded the rear and locked the front. Aside from the tires chirping on...

    Check out this stocker '40...

    I have an old family friend that I visit now and then (helluva good guy), and the other day I took some pics of his 1968 FJ40 that he bought brand spankin' new back in the day... Thought you guys might like to see some pics. This baby fires right up on a never-been-rebuilt motor and purrs...

    What the heck is this switch?!

    While inspecting my front seat supports today, I discovered a mini switch mounted inside the left side support rail... Is this stock? What does it do? I flip it and nothing happens... All the wires are inside the rail, so it's really difficult to trace. Maybe it's a remote ignition kill...

    Rear window electrical short...

    The breaker that controls power to the rear window is constantly snapping out, even if I'm not trying to power the window. It even does it with the key off, and I've had to disconnect it to keep if from draining my battery over night. To make it worse, it seems to be an intermittant problem...

    Dana 300 and stock speedometer...

    How many of you guys are running a d300 tcase, and have any of you successfully plugged in your stock speedo cable to it? I read on pirate that they should plug right up, but I'm not seeing that on my end. I understand that with my oversized tires that any reading I get will be wrong, but...

    Discussion: Pirate VS. Ih8mud

    I think most everyone who frequents Ih8mud also hits Pirate. I've noticed that when doing a search, I have to wade through a lot less flaming crap here vs. Pirate (thus I am able to find my info a lot faster, without all that wasted much in the way), and there is certianly no trade-off for tech...

    Tilt steering column...

    Who's done it? What column out of what donor did you use? It would be nice to find one that matched the u-joint input and didn't require too mch modification. Maybe one out of a FJ60 or a 4Runner? I tell ya, I'm 6'3", 235 lbs, and when I climb into my pig, I feel like a little old lady who...

    Do drum brakes really suck this much?!

    I bought my rig with a blown motor. I yanked it and installed my Cummins into it. I finally got to drive it, and I must say I'm really dissappointed with the brakes. I've never driven a stock pig, and I've heard all the horror stories about drum brakes, but I was expecting more than this...

    Where's the flasher???

    Got no turn signals and no hazards. I figure my flasher is dead, or no power is getting to it (more likely). I'm having a heck of a time locating the blasted thing tho. Can anyone help?

    Removable doors on a 55?

    Anyone ever done it? It looks possible, but I think I'd have to take a little notch out of the front fenders for upward clearance when removing the doors. Anyone got any info on it?

    Need early 90's Dodge Cummins front spring length...

    I have access to a front pair of Dodge, one ton, leaf-spring packs out of an early 90's Cummins. I think my springs are starting to sag under the 6bt in my '55 and I was pondering swapping them with the Dodge ones... ...Does anyone have a early 90's Dodge Cummins in their driveway they could...

    Orbit eyes and 55's...?

    Has anyone run these orbit eyes on their 55's? I'm very curious as to how they affect road performace. To me, they make perfect sense for off-road apps, but I would think you would need a panhard to secure them on the highway. AOR will build them custom for you, and I think my stock...

    Radical and Flexy 55's...

    In clemson55's spirit of 'let's get the ball rollin' for the new pig pen, I wanna see how crazy you guys have gotten with your 55's. Let's see some pig-wallerin', action pics. Be it yours, your buddies, or just a cool shot you found on the web. Put it up. Here's one I found on the web...

    Electrical Schematic for a pig?

    What are my chances of getting one? When I yanked my stock motor, all my electrics worked, now that I've installed my Cummins, only a few things work (starter, radio, wipers, fuel guage). Lights, blinkers, fan motor (and likely more) no longer work. I'm sure something has come...

    Vacuum question...

    So I'm swapping in a diesel motor in my '71 '55, question: What else besides the original 4WD, the carb, and the brakes are vacuum assisted? I've hooked up my vacuum pump to my brakes and the firewall, but if all the firewall port is just for is the stock 4WD actuator, then I'll just plug it...

    Need snorkel nozzle ideas...

    Hi folks, I'm a long time lurker, short time poster. Finally decided I'd rear my ugly head for a bit of your 4x4 creativity. I'm putting a snorkel on my '71 55. I've got 4" exhaust pipe coming straight up (as opposed to following the windshield support), immediately in front of my...
