It's time to let go - I'm selling pigwald. $20k OBO. We had a great run but I have to move on. Feel free to contact me at fj55.4.sale[AT]gmail.com

Life on the east coast has brought out some bubble rust as seen in the linked picture album below. There are a few small nicks/dings the here and there and some of the paint on the bumpers has flaked.

It runs great, no issues whatsoever - has been my daily driver for 3 years. 7100 miles since resto/mod.

Here's the picture album on photobucket:

I bought it off eBay from a guy in NJ who bought it from a mudder who put in a ton of great work, you can read part of the thread here:

Once I got it in 2010, I dropped it off at IPOR for some work and then to Urban LC for some more. Great experiences with both, moved to FL in between. Here's a link to Urban's build pics and a list of the collective work:

-vin tags in engine bay and on door jam were removed during painting - they're stored in the center console
-the undercarriage is solid, only rust issue is surface rust where the sliders were welded 3 years ago
-electrical connections for the trailer lights are not connected to the plug, they are what is seen in the gas tank picture

Pleas feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking to move it soon.

Just saw Pathfinders WTB post from earlier this month - I'm a little late to the market!
A couple notes to some of the questions from his thread:
- it does not have an H55
- 3 point seat belts were purchased/installed by Urban LC. Not sure where they sourced from.
 
Price drop - looking for 18k, or best offer.

Anyone have a ballpark idea of what it would cost to fix the bubble rust on the fenders? Not sure where to start.
 
Thanks! The guy who won it never paid, said his account was hacked.


gotta love it!! Sorry man. Wishing I had more seriously considered your pig after I've ordered all the bits for mine. :)

Some body work would be easier than what I have myself into.
 
Here are the links with no code - copy/paste should work.
