Someone should cut one and make a stretched 6 door FJ55 pig limo. Would be fun in the sand dunes anyway..........Hate to cut one in have and destroy a VIN#

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

That's already been iron(pig)ed out.Oink!Oink!

 

[htownfire]

Thats a real solid pig. Don't f _ _ k that one up. It's a hard find to get one that good. Be sure you going to do it justice b4 you do it.

OK There's alot of cancer and it would be too hard to do a resto. I have resigned to taking my time w/ it, because I want to do it right. This is the type of feed back I was looking for. It is going to happen. I just want to do it the best way possible and thought that everyones input would be the best place to start.


Do you know something about this particular hog that I don't???cause I'd love to know what it is if you do...

 

[PabloCruise]

This one?

I have a giganto high res version too if somebody wants it emailed to them.

Holy Sheep s***, where did you get that? Too cool!!!

 

[PabloCruise]

Here you go!

Dang, another cool image!

 

[bogus one]

I'd leave it alone, SOA, exo-cage, and wheel the s*** out of it

Haha Good deal. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I do have to say when I got my plasma cutter it made my pig work fly by. Good tools make all the difference!

if you had a resto-able rig and the means to do that, maybe,, but its yours, do what you want. i have always wanted to chop mine into a pickup style cab and build a trayback, just havent commited because lately i want to stretch the doors, and maybe the w/b.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Wheel base is easy enough and needed as far as I can see, and why not, anyway!!!. The doors are a bit short and I too was thinkin on how to go about that.....move the B pillar back and patch together two door then have some cost'em glass and regulators made......or, cause I are short, leave em how they be

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Awweright guys, getting ready to pull the trigger and get some steel stock.....I'm thinking of using 2 1/8"X1X4, and making an "L" shaped "C" pillar, with one having its 4" face along the side of the wagon, and the other perpendicular to it, as a sort of corner. Do you guys think I am overestimating the 1X4 strength? Should I go 2X4? I was planning on using an 1/8"X2X3 for the header, and some 1/4"X3X4 for the rocker rails. trying to find a balance between strength and weight..... Thanks guys.

oh my goodness!!!!
