How is everyone doing?

This dropped today:

A ‘Pig’ at a Wedding? His Vintage Land Cruiser Is a Party Animal.

TJ Scholand has a pair of Toyota Land Cruisers, and his 1974 FJ55 “Iron Pig” has been in nuptials, collectors’ gatherings and other adventures.

I guess it’s out now that TJ and I work together.

This very thread was probably the catalyst for that.

When he comes to Austin we give him a company car to drive.

It is a bad-a$$ company car too!

I will say for anyone who hasn't seen his PIG it is BEAUTIFUL!! I won't be parking next to him with ours in the future!

Wow, great article! That’s really cool that you talked about the unique community that is built around pigs.

It really is fantastic and that 3FE in there flat out runs. He was pulling away from us everywhere except for the mountain passes at elevations….then well let’s say forced induction and diesel power gets quite the advantage

When I realized TJ wasn't going to say "hop in, lets take it for a ride" I grabbed my daughter and left! Ha

Pig ownership is like part middle school, wiener and fart jokes, feeling awkward and left out from the cool kids mixed with equal parts being a furry and your overly touchy uncle Gary.

I’ve not ridden in it either. I had to beg him to drive it to Arvada for a gathering of all the Netgate people in Colorado.

 

[FJBen]

Tj let me sit in it, but he wouldn’t start it. Told me to make vroom vroom noises while turning the wheel back and fourth.
