    Daily drives me crazy

    Knuckle swap went great! Thanks for asking. You all have been such a valuable resource! However, a story as old as time... I am now considering selling this rig. I have enjoyed working on and driving immensely, but I need (insert all of the reasons people get rid of old cars and then regret it...

    New knuckles ready to go in. First old knuckle torn down. Knuckle seal parts Grease beyond the seal. Some pitting on the knuckle ball I am going to try to buff out a little.

    Daily drives me crazy

    Hello everyone! I have been quietly planning my revenge on the failed parts of my pig... and now I have something to show for it! I pulled the fuel tank out (and of course I had a full tank to drain first), and it was just as hard as everyone had said it was! My vent lines come out on all...

    Events/Trails Pig Party 2020💥🎉💥

    I am bummed that I can't make it to this! That is my old stopping grounds! I grew up in Challis and my parents still live there. The pig is just not ready for something like this... Have fun!

    As the fuel leaks have gotten worse, and my epoxy patching is no longer working, I have decided to drop the tank and take it to a local repair shop. Sadly I had just topped it off with premium. I had the Pig parked as I was waiting for a good time to do the suspension and steering repairs. I...

    Daily drives me crazy

    Here is the good part. I got everything put back together, and I was ready to take it out and about. The wife and kids were out of town, so I got some good work done and a little joy riding. Nothing better for diagnosing some problems than a few test drives. I even took it to work a few days...

    Here is the disappointing part. RUST. Turns out this is a Flintstone car. The main areas of concern are the drivers floors, and the front seat mounts. I have some temporary solutions planned while I work on the permanent solution. More Fluidfilm.

    Stripped out a bunch of old wiring that was not longer needed. The second picture was a wire I found that have been trapped under the valve cover at some point when it was off, and then the wire must have been severed by the rockers or something. Funny. Got rid of the aftermarket radio and...

    More cleaning. I pulled out the old nasty carpet pad. Seems like it was the main culprit for holding interior moisture. I found that the tailgate is pretty rusty, but it still functions and the window works well from the key and the front switch. The original tool roll was in tact and I...

    Next up I started tuning up the doors and cleaning out all of the crud on the interior. I also promptly broke off the little switch on the dome light. Bummer.

    Here is my wife's 2014 4runner next to the pig. Pretty cool contrast. The last pictures are the spare wheel all cleaned up and degreased. Then fresh paint and a $20 used tire.

    Got it running and now pulled into the garage. Feels good. Assuming that the fuel tank was full of bad gas I went to drain it... bone dry. Huh. I just assumed that the PO had last ran it 6 years ago and must have had it on E. The last picture is the spare tire (side note: look at that old...

    Looks good in front of the house. I want to point out that every day that goes by I realize that this rig is more rusty than it appears. I blame the undercoating mostly. Every time I shut one of the doors this pig loses more of itself. Just kind of falls out onto the ground. Oh well! Patina is...

    Went and got a dolly from U-haul. I could feel the parking brake was still locked up as I started to come-along it up onto the dolly, but it broke free. It was fun to see the pig face in the rear view. The door latches were not working well, so they would swing open on corners! I had to stop a...

    $60 later and I am back with my tires ready to rock! The first pic kind of looks like a hover pig. I was also imagining what it would look like with a 3" lift... I need more money before I can do that. Now I am ready to tow this thing home. Seems like the parking brake is locked up...

    Day one. I was trying to get it on rollers. I bought these wheels and tires on Craigslist for $80, and I thought they might fit. Turns out they only fit on the back, but on the front, they rubbed on something. I can't remember. Wrong backspacing on these old 4runner wheels. Anyway, the backup...

    I know my adoring fans need pictures! So here we go! More from the day I bought it: So I have been busy with the new baby, traveling to see my parents in Idaho (too bad I can't make the Pig Party this year!), and building my babies a playground. But I do have some updates and I will continue...

    Well... I would like this pig to be a daily driver, but it will probably dive me crazy to get there!
