I recently picked up a 1978 55 series. I might of bit off more then I can chew on this one but the plan is keeping it stock and making it nice again, aside from an ome lift and some 33 inch skinnys on factory wheels.

What 55 page do you speak of?? And thank you!Getting a lot of work done quickly. Nice start. Might join us pig heads over on the 55 page too. Lots of support and skills there .
Aside from being swiss cheese! Thank you sirNice Iron Pig, congrats!
The Trans feels tight just playing with the shifter. I'm going to pull both apart and inspect it all and reseal it.No harm at all keeping the thread in both forums.
How's the transmission and transfer case? I had a set-up in my '71 FJ40 until a few years ago from a '78 FJ55. Sold it to Georg at Valley Hybrids - it's probably found a new home by now.
I'm glad to hear it gives someone hope because I don't see the light at the end of this tunnel! Unfortunately my 40 is sitting on the back burned right nowI’m jealous, I’m wanting a pig. Unfortunately, the 40 is realistically the only project I can handle at the moment. Tempted to pick one up and shelve it. Keep up the progress, you give me hope.
My dream is find a pig that is a bit modified, so I don’t have any guilt about my desires. V8, 5speed & 33-35”. I fantasize about using it tow my 40 to the desert. Just enough interior upgrades to make it comfortable on the interstate. It a fantasy, cause the forty still isn’t close to done. Oh and I’m not a purist.What is everyones thoughts on what route I should go?
