    Videos of Pigs Drifitng?

    Well, not including the initial shock and awe time, and the "Hey John, what the hell are you doing down there? Ya know it not a legal route!!" bullsh1t, it took over 2 hours. First it was make a plan, and I was too far down the hill to be in the conversations, so I had to chat on the CB for...

    Videos of Pigs Drifitng?

    Yup. I am fine. Couple of months ago we did a TRAL run up Cherry Creek Road, aka trail 203. Just 4 rigs, makin good time. We have all been there multiple times. There were a few erosion features that required paying attention, but I never locked in axle all day. I was coming around a...

    Correct. Unfortunately. I DO wish I still had the Piggy. But that's OK. I still have my moments of excitement. Recently I drove off a cliff, about 70 feet. Not only did it break a steering knuckle bolt or two, it also twisted my sector shaft. So guess who has a 105 steering sector now?

    That rust pocket on the front fender USED to have a wide support member behind it. It is held I place by the pinch bent at the trailing edge of the fender. I rebuilt the whole thing on my driver's side fender. I think I bought the last available OEM replacement fender for my passenger side...

    That problem won't go away, at least for a long time. It lastested over 25 years for me.

    I used a carrier bearing in the middle of my steering column when I added power steering. Much tighter feel for the turns.

    What did you do to your pig today?

    Chains don't store energy like a strap. The really scary ones are the straps with the steel hooks built in. Now that's a slingshot. John

    Been working on a donor axle from Chicago area. That ain't no better. Good thing the inside is nice. John

    Good deal! It's always best to start with the cheap and easy repairs. John

    What did you do to your pig today?

    I have one of those tubs too, but it is the larger size. I store the leftovers from a gernaded LockRight from my front axle in it. Don't have the heart to bury it, yet........

    What did you do to your pig today?

    Yea, even on brass that may be a wee bit much. On aluminum radiators in the 80's I usually go until the fluid starts looking dark/blackish. If it is just the core letting go, then think about a high density replacement core. I've had great luck with mine.

    What did you do to your pig today?

    Tuff break on the radiator. I usually dilute the pool juice 50% and rock it back and forth to agitate it some. I dump and flush when I see it getting good color, then do the whole cycle again. Usually don't see any color gain on the second pass. Usually I don't leave it in for more than 5-10...

    What did you do to your pig today?

    Yea, it ain't easy to let go, but I need to. Between being forced into early retirement and health issues, I need to thin the herd, and the 80 is better at filling my current needs, especially for long distance travel. I'm trying real hard not to slow down, but I do need to change lanes. John

    What did you do to your pig today?

    I figure if I can wheel a SO Piggy for 25 years without flopping it, I am mighty lucky, or I ain't wheeling it hard enough. Good thing that broken Birfs, pinions, driveshafts, inner axles, LockRights, and radiators don't count. Unfortunately, I am planning on selling it before I can ruin my...

    What did you do to your pig today?

    Looks like you have about 2-3 inches more than I do now empty. Mine has lost a couple of inches since I put them on. Looks like my springs are a bit beefeir than yours, so you may settle quite a bit. I think my shackles are longer than yours too.I've been on these springs for over 15 years...

    What did you do to your pig today?

    Looks about right to me. After really flattening out my originals, I put on a set of SOR's HD springs. They sat pretty high. I welded in bump stops that would hit before I rubbed my 35s in the fenders and they work fine. They did sink a couple of inches after I put some miles on it with a...

    Diecast FJ55: Who'd be interested?

    Ya, me too. Thanks again. Just got back from 3 days of volunteer work for the BLM at an old abandon mine site way out in BFE, and I walk into the house and TA DA!! There it sits on the kitchen counter. Great way to finish a tuff weekend. John

    Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. I had forgotten that Marv had it posted up on the SOR site. John
