Rough morning. Freak storm last night

Oh no Mike, able to assess the damage yet? Hopefully your PIG is relatively unscathed. Had old oak break from top couple years ago and fell across back of tractor, except for few scratches damage was minimal so there is hope!

Still need to pull the limb off, but it looks like the hood is dented significantly, new turn signal pedestals and signals are broken, and driver’s side mirror was broken off. Looks like pillar between windshield and door may be bent too. Certainly could have been worse! Our very nice 4Runner was parked next to it and nothing happened to it fortunately.

Oh no!
Your poor Pig!
I am so sorry to see this.
Hopefully it will not be as bad as it looks?

Always good to find a positive in a s***ty situation.

That does sound fortunate if another nice rig was spared...

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!

I appreciate that! I know she is not perfect, but I always have a smile when I'm driving the Pig!

 

[PabloCruise]

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

Yes! To me a big part of Pigs (and Land Cruisers) is the people you meet and get to call Friend!

 

[PabloCruise]

HA, I use the word unique when I am trying to be kind about something or someone....

I think we all qualify as "special" here in the Pig section...

 

[PabloCruise]

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

IIRC, you were instrumental in finding that 3FE! The rest of that Pig didn't quite work out, but the concept of stuffing a 3FE in a Pig was proven.

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

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.

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.

Oh no! I didn't realize I left y'all hanging w/o a ride in the Pig! My bad...

The windshield pillar would be the worst, everything else can be sourced. Lousy deal still, hope you score the parts easily.
